From speculation to reality: Enhancing anticipatory ethics for emerging technologies (ATE) in practice
Various approaches have emerged over the last several decades to meet the challenges and complexities of anticipating and responding to the potential impacts of emerging technologies. Although many of the existing approaches share similarities, they each have shortfalls. This paper takes as the object of its study Anticipatory Ethics for Emerging Technologies (ATE) to technology assessment, given that it was formatted to address many of the priva…
Parler avec les machines
L'émergence de l'application ChatGPT amène à se poser une nouvelle fois la question de la distinction entre le dialogue interhumain et la communication avec une machine. Les réseaux de neurones artificiels ont fait franchir un seuil irréversible, dont il importe de comprendre les conséquences. Un nouveau mode de relation avec ces machines s'instaure, qui n'est pas sans analogie avec ce que nous racontaient les mythes
Moral Equivalence in the Metaverse
Quantum Technologies and Society: Towards a Different Spin
Due primarily to technological advances over the last decade, quantum research has become a key priority area for science and technology policy all over the world. With this manifesto, we wish to prevent quantum technology from running into fiascos of implementation at the interface of science and society. To this end, we identify key stumbling blocks and propose recommendations
The distribution of ethical labor in the scientific community
To believe that every single scientist ought to be individually engaged in ethical thinking in order for science to be responsible at a collective level may be too demanding, if not plainly unrealistic. In fact, ethical labor is typically distributed across different kinds of scientists within the scientific community. Based on the empirical data collected within the Horizon 2020 ‘RRI-Practice’ project, we propose a classification of the members …
On the scientist’s moral luck and wholeheartedness
Moral luck is real but living with this knowledge is difficult, in particular because attending to the radical uncertainty of future implications of one's work may have a significant impact on research directions or publication plans. The scientist, the engineer, and the technological innovator, as individuals, may experience increased anxiety or regret an action performed in their professional capacity. I argue that a recipe for avoiding such et…
The effectiveness of mathematics in physics of the unknown
Chance as a value for artificial intelligence
Deep learning techniques lead to fundamentally non-interpretable decisions made by the machine. Although such choices do not have an explanation, they impact the users in significant ways. If the ultimate innovator is a machine, what is the meaning of responsible conduct? I argue in a recent book that the capacity to extract an AI system from human judgment, by reducing transparency in favor of opacity, is an essential value in machine ethics. Th…

What Is “Responsible” about Responsible Innovation? Understanding the Ethical Issues
To decide what responsible innovation means, it is necessary to understand the ethical significance of innovation as a kind of action that can significantly alter the natural and social worlds and the human condition. It is often assumed that such changes are introduced responsibly only if we act with foresight, by striving to predict the consequences of what we do. This characteristically modern consequentialist position is, nonetheless, inappro…

Reconstructing Instead of Interpreting Quantum Theory
A paradigmatic shift in the foundations of quantum mechanics is recorded, from interpreting to reconstructing quantum theory. Examples of reconstruction are analyzed, and conceptual foundations of the information-theoretic reconstruction developed. A concept of intentionally incomplete reconstruction is introduced to mark the novel content of research in the foundation of quantum theory
Reconstruction of Quantum Theory
What belongs to quantum theory is no more than what is needed for its derivation. Keeping to this maxim, we record a paradigmatic shift in the foundations of quantum mechanics, where the focus has recently moved from interpreting to reconstructing quantum theory. Several historic and contemporary reconstructions are analyzed, including the work of Hardy, Rovelli, and Clifton, Bub and Halvorson. We conclude by discussing the importance of a novel …
