The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Fairness and Abstraction in Sociotechnical Systems (2019, background): “At any point, it could be reasonable to stop and consider creating a technical solution, but only if the results of the examinations of all traps are fully spelled out and included in any resulting documentation or research publications as clear limitations to the work [33].”
BANANAS: Bayesian Optimization with Neural Architectures for Neural Architecture Search (2019, background): “Because of the recent push for explicitly reasoning about the impact of research in AI [16], we are hopeful that neural architecture search will be used to benefit society.”
Reducing malicious use of synthetic media research: Considerations and potential release practices for machine learning (2019, background): “• Encourage impact evaluation both positive and negative, for research publications, presentations, and proposals (such as that proposed by the ACM FCA [19]).”
Local Search is State of the Art for Neural Architecture Search Benchmarks (2020, background): “Because of the recent push for explicitly reasoning about the impact of research in AI [12], we are hopeful that downstream deep learning applications will be used to benefit society.”
