CS+Social Good (CS+SG[1], pronounced CS plus social good[2]) is a student organization at Stanford University focused on social responsibility in computing. It was founded in 2015 to cultivate a community of students interested in applying computer science to social issues.[3]
CS+Social Good facilitates courses at Stanford about social impact in computing,[4] including a studio course in which students develop software for nonprofits and social ventures.[1] Its first course was CS 90SI, which ran in fall 2015 and taught web technologies through group projects with partner organizations.[5] In 2018, the group launched a course about the ethics of artificial intelligence together with the Stanford AI Group.[6][7]
On January 14, 2019, the organization hosted a conversation with Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung, two whistleblowers from Theranos, about their experiences at the defunct biotechnology company.[8][9]
