IMPROVING TECHNOLOGY THROUGH ETHICS KARTONIERT ...

This book deals with the ethics of technology and addresses specific ethical problems related
to some emerging technologies  mainly in the field of computer science (from machine learning
models to extracting value from data to human-robot interaction). The contributions are
authored mainly by scholars in ICT and other engineering fields who reflect on ethical and
societal issues emerging from their own research activity. Thus  rather uniquely  the work
overcomes the traditional divide between pure ethical theory that disregards what practitioners
do and mere R&D practice that ignores what theorists conceptualize. Conversely  the reader is
enabled to understand what ethics means when it is actually put into work by engineering
researchers. The book arises from a joint program between MIT and Politecnico di Milano aimed
at training early career researchers in addressing the ethical issues of technology and
critically reflecting on the social impacts of the emerging  and even disruptive  technologies
they are currently developing through their novel research. Overall  it aims at spreading the
task of developing technologies that  from the beginning  are designed to be responsible for
human life  society  and nature.
