Will AI impoverish creativity? A virtue ethics response to the rush towards automation
We argue against the assertion that automation of repetitive work by AI makes space for creative expression and creates opportunities that reduce inequality. This should be of concern to scholars and practitioners of Responsible Innovation, especially those focused on the virtues on the virtues of actors involved in innovation. We argue that experience acquired through repetition is a critical source of knowledge and learning feeding into creativ…
Transformation of the clinic
Healthcare systems in Europe are undergoing a transformation due to high costs of care. Remote measurement technologies (RMTs) such as wearable sensors, mobile apps and data analytics are expected to enable this transformation. To this effect, European funding bodies have announced calls for RMTs that make it possible to conduct data driven pre-emption of episodes of disease to avoid rehospitalisations. We follow the work of a group of investigat…
Covid-19 vaccine mandates for healthcare workers and the science advice system in Greece
Vaccine hesitancy was a major concern during the Covid-19 pandemic, and a significant percentage of healthcare workers (HCWs) proved to be hesitant too. Various governments, including that of Greece, reacted aggressively, imposing mandates stipulating dismission of HCWs from work unless vaccinated. Hesitancy was understood as a case of moral failing and against the principle of ‘do no harm’. In this article, we deploy hermeneutics policy analysis…
MRNA vaccine politics
COVID-19 crisis reaffirmed the power of a few companies to scale up production for mRNA vaccines, which created injustice as a few nations in the developed world benefited first from available vaccines, while LMICs waited at the back of the queue. Initiatives such as the South Africa mRNA tech transfer hub sought to address these concerns. The article engages in an analysis of the different visions that underpin the current vaccine innovation sys…
The techno-politics of computing the mind
Psychiatry has recently witnessed the launch of digital phenotyping as a new research agenda. According to digital phenotyping’s hypothesis, data about a patient’s daily behavior can be continuously collected through wearable monitoring devices and used to build software that would send warnings of mental relapse or would tailor treatment choices. The research is exploratory, and the claims upon which it is based are contentious. Drawing on inter…
From lab to mass production
Using the South African vaccine technology transfer hub supported by the WHO as an example, we show that the know-how needed to move mRNA vaccines from prototype to mass-production acts as an invisible barrier to market entry of mRNA vaccines. Overcoming this barrier relies on scarce human capital. In view of this scarcity and in preparation for the next pandemic, we propose broadening the scope of an existing WHO program, the WHO Academy, so tha…
Covid-19 contact tracing apps and the governance of collective action
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Digital Contact Tracing (DCT) tools were deployed by governments in Europe and beyond as a novel mobile technology to assist traditional manual contact tracing to track individuals who have come in close contact with an infected person. The public debate on this topic focused strongly on the protection of individual privacy. While this debate is important, it fails to address important governance questions – such as,…

Law's Practical Wisdom
This book develops a sociological understanding of law making in the European Union. In particular, the book focuses on the social function of law in new governance structures promoting decentralized and flexible procedures that encourage deliberation, participation of stakeholders, and public dialogue. It pays attention to both the practical knowledge and the power relations underpinning law making, while seeking to bring to the foreground the i…
The European Commission and the Law-Making Process
understanding law-making requires coming to grips with cognitive schemas , practical wisdom of agents involved in the production of law, as agents may interpret or apply the law according to socially accepted mental schemas developed as a result of socialisation in families, schools, universities and other social settings or in the course of exchange in professional settings. a case study on the conduct of officials of the european commission see…
