The power of discourse
This article focuses on discourses of ‘smart’ in order to invite more inclusive communications among policymakers, scientists and practitioners, designers and developers. The selected data consist of the European Commission policy discourse on innovation for the digital future and related developments currently in force with legally binding financial and monitoring instruments. We identify assumptions about who and what ‘drives’ this domain of in…
Make Way for the Robots! Human- and Machine-Centricity in Constituting a European Public–Private Partnership
This article is an analytic register of recent European efforts in the making of ‘autonomous’ robots to address what is imagined as Europe’s societal challenges. The paper describes how an emerging techno-epistemic network stretches across industry, science, policy and law to legitimize and enact a robotics innovation agenda. Roadmap is the main metaphor and organizing tool in working across the disciplines and sectors, and in aligning these hete…
The biometric imaginary
The decision in Europe to implement biometric passports, visas and residence permits was made at the highest levels without much consultation, checks and balances. Council regulation came into force relatively unnoticed in January 2005, as part of wider securitization policies urging systems interoperability and data sharing across borders. This article examines the biometric imaginary that characterizes this European Union decision, dictated by …
The Convergence of the Physical, Mental and Virtual
This editorial introduces a special issue of Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology, centring on the convergence of the physical, mental and virtual. The idea of publishing a special issue on this matter came about at a conference, ICT that makes the difference, organised by the consortium of a FP7-funded project, ICTethics. In particular, we wanted to foreground some of the material presented and debated in sessions on the role of assistive robo…
Scientific Journal Publications
The scientific community has begun using new information and communication technologies to increase the efficiency with which publications are disseminated. The trend is most marked in some areas of physics, where research papers are first circulated in the form of electronic unrefereed preprints through a service known as arXiv. In the first half of this paper, I explain how arXiv works, and describe the conceptual backstage and its growing infl…
