Making sense of the ‘Human’ in human-centered AI
In recent years, ‘human-centered artificial intelligence’ (HCAI) has emerged as a prominent framing device in the societal debate on the implications of AI. By adopting this phrase, AI ethics discourses make an appeal to the notion of the ‘human,’ while failing to critically reflect on its meaning. Against this background, we pose the question as to what ‘human’ is taken to mean in the context of HCAI. We apply a critical hermeneutic approach to …
Cyber-governance of the natural world the implications of digital twins in environmental governance
Digital Twins (DTs) are data-driven real-time and multi-faceted representations of real-life physical systems or phenomena. Currently, DTs are developed for use in environmental governance, ranging from DTs of single crops to the planet Earth. By offering up-to-date dynamic simulations, DTs are anticipated to support decision-making in addressing key challenges like ecological degradation and climate change. However, DTs are not neutral tools: th…
Who owns Nature? Conceptual appropriation in discourses on climate and biotechnologies
Emerging technologies can have profound conceptual implications. Their emergence frequently calls for the articulation of new concepts, or for modifications and novel applications of concepts that are already entrenched in communication and thought. In this paper, we introduce the notion of “conceptual appropriation” to capture the dynamics between concepts and emerging technologies. By conceptual appropriation, we mean the novel application of a…
Contextualizing realism
Digital Twins are conceptualized as real-time digital representations of real-life physical entities or systems. They are explored for a wide array of societal implementations, and in particular to help address fundamental societal challenges. As accurate digital equivalents of their real-life twin, Digital Twins substitute their physical twin in knowledge production and decision-making processes. They raise high expectations: they are expected t…
Scrutinizing environmental governance in a digital age
Steering Representations—Towards a Critical Understanding of Digital Twins
Digital Twins are conceptualised in the academic technical discourse as real-time realistic digital representations of physical entities. Originating from product engineering, the Digital Twin quickly advanced into other fields, including the life sciences and earth sciences. Digital Twins are seen by the tech sector as the new promising tool for efficiency and optimisation, while governmental agencies see it as a fruitful means for improving dec…
Escaping the Panopticon Over Time
The ‘right to be forgotten’ has been labelled censorship and disastrous for the freedom of expression. In this paper, we explain that effecting the ‘right to be forgotten’ with regard to search results is ‘censorship’ at the level of information retrieval. We however claim it is the least heavy yet most effective means to get the minimum amount of censorship overall, while enabling people to evolve beyond their past opinions. We argue that applyi…
