Accelerating achievement for Africa’s adolescents
By 2050, one in four people in the world will live in Africa. The region’s adolescents are our present and future but need effective services to support their holistic health and wellbeing, advance their education, allow them to flourish, and protect them from adversity. This paper reviews evidence for a new concept of ‘development accelerators’: interventions that can help achieve multiple Sustainable Development Goals simultaneously. Across 26 …
The Stuff We Swim in
Recent activity in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has given rise to large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and Bard. These are undoubtedly impressive achievements, but they raise serious questions about appropriation, accuracy, explainability, accessibility, responsibility, and more. There have been pusillanimous and self-exculpating calls for a halt in development by senior researchers in the field and largely self-serving comment…
Social Influence and the Normalization of Surveillance Capitalism
Human personalities, characters, and habits are socially instructed and learned, traditionally from others, but also with others [1] . Either way, social influence plays a fundamental role in human development [2] , affecting individuals at any age and from any background [3] . According to Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, in the preoperational stage, the primary sources of such influence are parents, teachers, and siblings, and in subse…
Covid-19 in Conversations
The transcripts which follow speak to the potency and promise of dialogue. They record two in a continuing series of “COVID-19 In Conversations” hosted by Oxford Prospects and Global Development Institute (OPGDI), an interdisciplinary research center of Regent’s Park College, University of Oxford. Dedicated to promoting discussion and inspiring new ideas on the development of China-U.K. relations in the context of globalization, OPGDI is exceptio…
Public Interest Technology, Citizen Assemblies, and Performative Governance
There are many domains of human endeavor which invoke the “public interest,” for example, environmental sustainability, law, journalism, and, perhaps most pointedly in 2020–2021, health. All of these domains require some sort of tradeoff between different and potentially competing stakeholder priorities. For example, public interest in environmental sustainability, with respect to air quality, potable water, and arable land, can be in contention …
Some Ethical, Legal, and Social Dimensions of Pandemic Response Technology
Shuangge Wen (SW): The test and trace systems in operation in many countries are a key strategy to lower the reproduction rate and control the virus, with technology enabling measures such as tracing of close contacts, notifying local alerts, and venue check-ins using QR codes. From your technological expertise, how do you see these systems working, and do you see any alternatives which should be explored
Algorithmic Reflexive Governance for Socio-Techno-Ecological Systems
This position paper develops an algorithmic approach to deliberation as the basis for institutional reflexivity. We propose the idea of algorithmic reflexive governance for socio- techno-ecological systems, bringing together interdisciplinary ideas from Artificial Intelligence and Democratic Theory in systems that recognize the interactions between social, technological, and ecological actors and processes. We argue that this innovative approach …
Democratizing Platforms for Social Coordination
Information and communication technology (ICT) enabled social media platforms facilitate, at one level, social interaction, management of social contacts, and the promotion of self-exposure. On another level, they arguably meet a profound social need for opportunities to pursue sociallyvaluable projects, and for the free exercise of constitutive human capacities, on a hitherto unprecedented scale. Alongside these significant benefits, there are a…

Values, Axial Currencies, and Computational Axiology
Eleven to twelve thousand years ago, early humans lived in small communities with no discernible hierarchy. The "agrarian revolution" resulted in communities growing on such a scale that mechanisms of self-organization - e.g., for monitoring, keeping order, and ensuring a "satisfactory" allocation of resources - were no longer efficient or effective. However, the concurrent "cognitive" revolution resulted in the faculty of imagination, in particu…
Odorveillance and the Ethics of Robotic Olfaction [Opinion]
Of the five “traditional” exteroceptive senses — sight (vision), hearing (audition), taste (gustation), touch (somatosensation), and smell (olfaction) — olfaction has one of lowest “data rates,” but is (arguably) the least understood and least welldeveloped in terms of automation. Robotic vision would seem to be much further advanced than robotic olfaction. Additionally, this comparison is just in relation to human olfactory performance. A dog’s …
Trusting Intelligent Machines
Intelligent machines have reached capabilities that go beyond a level that a human being can fully comprehend without sufficiently detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The choice of moves in the game Go (generated by Deep Mind?s Alpha Go Zero [1]) are an impressive example of an artificial intelligence system calculating results that even a human expert for the game can hardly retrace [2]. But this is, quite literally, a toy examp…
The Next Generation of Socio-Technical Systems
The next generation of socio-technical system can be seen as a kind of “focal point” for the convergence of a number of current trends in computing, information systems, and information technology. These trends include the technology-driven instrumentation of infrastructure by ubiquitous computing and/or “intelligent” devices, with the prefix “smart” now taking precedence over the prefix “e-,” i.e., SmartGrids, SmartCities, SmartMotorways, etc., …
Technological Impacts in Socio-Technical Communities
Communities and societies are known to achieve key benefits, such as trade growth, risk mitigation and resource sustainability [1], by following and observing conventionally-agreed and mutable rules (e.g., norms and laws). We focus on "democratic" societies-where citizens can contribute to changes in these governing regulations (directly or indirectly), which then apply equally to all [2], [3]. However, the unrestricted self-interested, or power-…
Socially-Sensitive Systems Design
In human society, individuals have long voluntarily organized themselves in groups, which embody, provide and/or facilitate a range of different social concepts, such as governance, justice, or mutual aid. These social groups vary in form, size, and permanence, but in different ways provide benefits to their members. In turn, members of these groups use their understanding and awareness of group expectations to help determine their own actions, t…

Technology for Collective Action [Special Section Introduction]
The Digital Society is increasingly characterized by an ecosystem of smart, sociotechnical applications, such as smart grids, smart homes, smart cars, and so on. These applications are embedded in a social context with people “in the loop.” They are fully networked and saturated with sensors, and they use artificial intelligence for context-awareness and adaptivity. Unlike biological ecosystems, each application, and indeed the ecosystem itself, …

Design Contractualism for Pervasive/Affective Computing
The convergence of pervasive, stream, and cloud computing, with advances in sensor technology and signal processing, provides a platform for a wide range of innovative applications based on a more-refined understanding of the users state, wherever they may be and whatever they might be doing. Recent developments have made it possible to infer intentional (goal-driven) behavior and affective (emotional) states from scent, gestures, facial expressi…
