The challenges of developing AI text detectors, and their moral implications
Purpose The advancement of more efficient Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly impacted academic writing and publishing. These advancements have also raised ethical and professional concerns about the misuse of LLMs, such as machine ghostwriting. As a result, institutions, universities, publishers and others are increasingly seeking to distinguish human-written texts from machine-written ones using various artificial intelligence (AI) t…
The Collective Construction of the Hijab Controversy in Iran through the Agency of the Instagram Camera
The present study aims to investigate the hijab controversy in Iran based on new materialism approaches and focusing on Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory. It seeks to identify the role of Instagram, especially the Instagram camera, as an active participant in the controversy. The findings of this research, which utilized a “methodological collage” and three-dimensions—observations, document analysis, and interviews—demonstrate that Instagram ha…
The ethics of science journalism in medicine
Reexamining science journalism through the constructivist lens of Science and Technology Studies (STS), the present paper argues that this perspective promotes a more responsible approach to reporting scientific discoveries in medicine. The dominant anti-constructivist, realist approach often results in what we term "dramatic modalization," which attributes greater facticity and universality to scientific findings than they actually possess at th…
ChatGPT as Co-Author? AI and Research Ethics
Should ChatGPT be viewed merely as a supportive tool for writers, or does it qualify as a co-author? As ChatGPT and similar language models are likely to become more prevalent in assisting with academic writing and research, it seems that we will face with two possibilities: an increase in ghostwriting that could finally undermine the integrity of the knowledge system, or the need to theoretical preparation to recognize the role of non-human cont…
Digital Methods
The integration of digital technologies into social science has catalyzed the development of fields such as digital sociology, digital humanities, and digital social sciences more broadly. This technological shift has significant methodological implications for social science research, which are being increasingly discussed. This discussion raises critical questions about the potential and limitations of merging traditional social research method…
A Science and Technology Studies Challenge to Trustworthiness Criteria
Lincoln and Guba provided some principles and four evaluative criteria called “trustworthiness” to guide social science research naturalistically. However, drawing on Science and Technology Studies (STS) literature, a field engaged with methods and practices of science for several decades, one can argue that this approach is not still fully naturalistic. In this paper, we review Lincoln and Guba’s four criteria of trustworthiness from an STS pers…
The Doctrine of Double Effect and Medical Ethics
The standard version of the doctrine of double effect, a significant doctrine in applied ethics particularly medical ethics, not only fails to capture some morally significant components of Aquinas’ view, but it does not resort to proper complementary features in order to accommodate the doctrine to our moral intuitions. We attempt to offer a new formulation of the doctrine incorporating the main components of Aquinas’ view and also to extend the…
The Collective Construction of Technology
One way to compare different theoretical approaches to the study of technologies is to see what the difference is between their narratives of the construction of a particular technology.In this paper, we re-narrate the bicycle construction from the perspective of actor-network theory (ANT), comparing to SCOT's first account of the construction.Although SCOT has moved closer to actor-network theory later by paying more attention to co-construction…
Ethics in Science and Technology Policy-Making
In the twenty-first century, the focus of science and technology (S&T) on the human interests and the accessible interests of society, and so the rise of some questions concerning the impact of S&T on social norms, has led to embedding ethical debates in S&T policy-making. The ethics of S&T policy-making, as a representation of the relationship between ethics and S&T policy-making, is a relatively new area of applied and professional ethics that …
