Norbert Wiener Award for Social and Professional Responsibility

Not to be confused with Norbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics or the Norbert Wiener Award granted by the journal Kybernetes.

The Norbert Wiener Award for Social and Professional Responsibility was established in 1987 in honor of Norbert Wiener to recognize contributions by computer professionals to socially responsible use of computers. It was awarded annually by CPSR, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, until that organization disbanded in 2013. The award is now managed by the IEEE Society for the Social Implications of Technology.
