Defining ethical technology: Urgent debates, global dilemmas, and key definitions

Welcome to our very first episode of the ”22 Lessons on Ethical Technology” series! In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Herman Tavani to introduce some of the foundational principles of ethical technology, particularly in computing and digital contexts. We focus on how the current need for an ethics of technology developed, and the debates and key moments that gave rise to the current debates about ethics and technology. We discuss how modern-day controversies created by emerging technologies can be analyzed from the perspective of standard ethical concepts and theories.
