After Finitude An Essay On The Necessity Of Contingency

Ecology Without Nature, Rethinking Environmental Aesthetics

Although manufacturing companies are currently situated at a transition point in what has been called Industry 40, a new revolutionary wave—Industry 50—is emerging as an ‘Age of Augmentation’ when the human and machine reconcile and work in perfect symbiosis with one another Recent years have indeed assisted in drawing attention to the human-centric design of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) and to the genesis of the ‘Operator 40’, two novel concepts that raise significant ethical questions regarding the impact of technology on workers and society at large This paper argues that a value-oriented and ethical technology engineering in Industry 50 is an urgent and sensitive topic as demonstrated by a survey administered to industry leaders from different companies The Value Sensitive Design (VSD) approach is proposed as a principled framework to illustrate how technologies enabling human–machine symbiosis in the Factory of the Future can be designed to embody elicited human values and to illustrate actionable steps that engineers and designers can take in their design projects Use cases based on real solutions and prototypes discuss how a design-for-values approach aids in the investigation and mitigation of ethical issues emerging from the implementation of technological solutions and, hence, support the migration to a symbiotic Factory of the Future

Value-Oriented and Ethical Technology Engineering in Industry 5.0: A Human-Centric Perspective for the Design of the Factory of the Future

Value sensitive design (VSD) is an established method for integrating values into technical design. It has been applied to different technologies and, more recently, to artificial intelligence (AI). We argue that AI poses a number of challenges specific to VSD that require a somewhat modified VSD approach. Machine learning (ML), in particular, poses two challenges. First, humans may not understand how an AI system learns certain things. This requires paying attention to values such as transparency, explicability, and accountability. Second, ML may lead to AI systems adapting in ways that ‘disembody’ the values embedded in them. To address this, we propose a threefold modified VSD approach: (1) integrating a known set of VSD principles (AI4SG) as design norms from which more specific design requirements can be derived; (2) distinguishing between values that are promoted and respected by the design to ensure outcomes that not only do no harm but also contribute to good, and (3) extending the VSD process to encompass the whole life cycle of an AI technology to monitor unintended value consequences and redesign as needed. We illustrate our VSD for AI approach with an example use case of a SARS-CoV-2 contact tracing app.

This book by Timothy Morton is a poetic tour de force that is both academically and philosophically rigorous. It may prove to be a manifesto of ‘ecocommunism’. As is typical of Morton's work, the p...

Humankind: solidarity with nonhuman people

This chapter proposed a novel design methodology called Value-Sensitive Design and its potential application to the field of artificial intelligence research and design It discusses the imperatives in adopting a design philosophy that embeds values into the design of artificial agents at the early stages of AI development Because of the high-risk stakes in the unmitigated design of artificial agents, this chapter proposes that even though VSD may turn out to be a less-than-optimal design methodology, it currently provides a framework that has the potential to embed stakeholder values and incorporate current design methods The reader should begin to take away the importance of a proactive design approach to intelligent agents
