Potential for data breaches and security risks.

Easy access from any device.

A team of high school students designs an app that uses machine learning to detect plant diseases from leaf photos taken by farmers in remote areas. The app is intended to help improve crop yields by providing early detection and treatment advice. After release, it is discovered that the app consistently misidentifies a rare but deadly disease, leading some farmers to treat it incorrectly and lose entire harvests.

A. This demonstrates that computing innovations often fail due to lack of creativity and engineering rigor.

B. The scenario highlights how computing innovations are always beneficial to specific user groups like farmers.

C. It shows that while people create computing innovations with positive intent, not every effect of the innovation is anticipated.

D. The innovation is unsuccessful because it does not use cloud computing, which would improve its reliability.

A hospital implements a new AI system that automates patient check-ins, assigns doctors based on past treatment data, and sends real-time alerts to staff during emergencies. The AI system significantly reduces waiting times and streamlines workflows. As a result, many administrative staff are reassigned or laid off, while nurses report feeling overwhelmed by system-generated alerts.

A. The AI system increases creativity in the medical field by eliminating the need for any human intervention in healthcare.

B. While the computing innovation changes the way tasks are completed and boosts efficiency, it introduces new challenges and has mixed effects on the workforce.

C. The computing innovation is purely harmful as it replaces human jobs and disrupts communication.

D. Because of the AI system’s precision, it removes the possibility of any negative consequences in hospital operations.

A school district adopts a facial recognition system to increase security and prevent unauthorized entry. Some parents and staff praise the system for enhancing safety, while others express concern over student privacy, data storage, and surveillance. A student is mistakenly flagged as “unauthorized” due to a facial recognition error, leading to a public apology from school officials.

A. It demonstrates that a single computing innovation effect can be interpreted as either beneficial or harmful depending on one's perspective.

B. It shows that facial recognition systems are always more secure than traditional methods and should be universally adopted.

C. It proves that computing innovations are flawed and should never be implemented in educational settings.

D. It confirms that once implemented, the effects of computing innovations are fixed and predictable.

A city introduces an app-based bike rental service to promote eco-friendly transportation. The app tracks user routes, usage times, and provides suggestions for healthier travel. While many residents welcome the service, advocacy groups raise concerns about data privacy, especially regarding users’ location and habits being stored and possibly sold to advertisers.

A. Computing innovations are always developed to protect user data and therefore require no external regulation.

B. The data collected by computing innovations is only used to improve functionality and has no negative effects.

C. Although created with good intentions, computing innovations can have unexpected and potentially controversial effects, depending on how data is used.

D. People should stop using computing innovations altogether to avoid privacy risks.
