While the notion of treating these systems as “sociotechical” rather than purely technical is probably a good move wrt actually improving people’s lives, I can say from my own experience in academia that there are still way too many academics working in this field who don’t think it’s their problem. I’ve personally raised these types of issues before and been told “we’re computer scientists, not social scientists”, as if “social scientist” is a derogatory term. The biggest impediment here is, in my opinion, overcoming the bloated egos of the people who think the social impacts of their work are somehow out of scope. All is well as long as you can continue to publish.
