AI总结:

本研究基于23位专家会议,采用1-2-4-ALL方法识别SDDI的六大主题,提出促进软件开发者多样性与包容性的路线图,强调平衡益处与危害。

摘要:

引言:数字产品日益重塑各行各业,影响人类行为和决策。然而,开发这些系统的软件工程团队往往缺乏多样性,这可能导致设计忽视不同用户群体的需求、平等对待或安全性。这些风险凸显了在软件开发中促进多样性和包容性的必要性,以创造更安全、更公平的技术。方法:本研究基于2023年6月一次学术会议的见解,该会议有23位软件工程研究人员和从业者参与。我们采用协作讨论方法1-2-4-ALL作为系统性研究方法,围绕改善软件开发者多样性与包容性(SDDI)的主题挑战和机遇,识别出六个主题。我们针对四个主要主题识别了益处、危害和未来研究方向。然后,我们讨论其余两个主题,即人工智能与SDDI以及人工智能与计算机科学教育,它们对其他主题具有交叉影响。结果:本研究探讨了促进SDDI的关键挑战和研究机遇,为研究人员和从业者提供了路线图。我们强调,围绕SDDI的研究需要持续关注在最大化益处的同时最小化危害,尤其是对弱势群体。作为研究社区,我们必须以负责任的方式实现这一平衡。

英文摘要:

Introduction: Digital products increasingly reshape industries, influencing human behavior and decision-making. However, the software development teams developing these systems often lack diversity, which may lead to designs that overlook the needs, equal treatment or safety of diverse user groups. These risks highlight the need for fostering diversity and inclusion in software development to create safer, more equitable technology. Method: This research is based on insights from an academic meeting in June 2023 involving 23 software engineering researchers and practitioners. We used the collaborative discussion method 1-2-4-ALL as a systematic research approach and identified six themes around the theme challenges and opportunities to improve Software Developer Diversity and Inclusion (SDDI). We identified benefits, harms, and future research directions for the four main themes. Then, we discuss the remaining two themes, Artificial Intelligence & SDDI and AI & Computer Science education, which have a cross-cutting effect on the other themes. Results: This research explores the key challenges and research opportunities for promoting SDDI, providing a roadmap to guide both researchers and practitioners. We underline that research around SDDI requires a constant focus on maximizing benefits while minimizing harms, especially to vulnerable groups. As a research community, we must strike this balance in a responsible way.
