Lightning Talk: Ethical, Privacy and Sustainability Considerations in PyTorch S... Paula Mesa Macias

Lightning Talk: Ethical, Privacy and Sustainability Considerations in PyTorch Systems - Paula Mesa Macias, Pau&Company PyTorch models are part of larger systems that handle data, logs, APIs and other services. Ethical, privacy, security and environmental considerations appear not only around the AI itself, but across the whole system. Using the Ethical Software Framework and the Ethical IT Audit, this session explores practical ways to think about these issues in real workflows. It highlights situations where decisions in data handling, model deployment, logging or infrastructure have ethical, compliance or sustainability implications. It also shows considerations for using AI responsibly, such as dataset choices, bias awareness and evaluating risks before deployment. The goal is to provide a clear, structured lens for identifying risks and trade-offs, making ethical, privacy, security, and sustainability concerns easier to discuss in everyday work.
