People share their emotions on social media and evidence suggests that in times of crisis people are especially motivated to post emotional content. The current Coronavirus pandemic is such a crisis. online sharing content during the may contribute societal value change. Emotion via could lead contagion which turn facilitate an climate society. In turn, society can influence society's structure. spread predominantly negative, result negative climate. Based dynamic relations values each other...
Social media technologies (SMTs) are routinely identified as a strong and pervasive threat to digital well-being (DWB). Extended screen time sessions, chronic distractions via notifications, fragmented workflows have all been blamed on how these ruthlessly undermine our ability exercise quintessential human faculties. One reason SMTs can do this is because they powerfully affect emotions. Nevertheless, (1) social technology affects emotional life (2) emotions relate remain unexplored....
Ethical issues concerning brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have already received a considerable amount of attention. However, one particular form BCI has not the attention that it deserves: Affective BCIs allow for detection and stimulation affective states. This paper brings ethical in sharper focus. The briefly reviews recent applications considers arise from these applications. share with other neurotechnologies are presented concerns specific to identified discussed.
The power of technology to transform religions, science, and political institutions has often been presented as nothing short revolutionary. Does have a similarly transformative influence on societies' morality? Scholars not rigorously investigated the role in moral revolutions, even though existing research technomoral change suggests that this may be considerable. In paper, we explore what understood processes radical group-level change, amounts to. We do so by investigating four...
ABSTRACT Responsible innovation and ethics of technology increasingly take emotions into consideration. Yet, there are still some crucial aspects that have not been addressed in the literature. In order to close this gap, we introduce these neglected discusses their theoretical practical implications. We will zoom on following aspects: emotional recalcitrance, affective forecasting, mixed emotions, collective emotions. Taking account provide a more fine-grained view help improve current...
It is often suggested that social media a hostile environment for critical thinking and major source epistemic problems concerning it facilitates emotions. We argue emotions per se are not the of media. propose instead focusing on emotions, we should focus affective scaffolding will show some scaffolds enable desirable practices, while others obstruct beneficial or practices. Particularly, play crucial role in practice can support, hinder, online thinking. The upshot our argument...
Many researchers from robotics, machine ethics, and adjacent fields seem to assume that norms represent good behavior social robots should learn benefit their users society. We would like complicate this view present seven key troubles with norm-compliant robots: (1) norm biases, (2) paternalism (3) tyrannies of the majority, (4) pluralistic ignorance, (5) paths least resistance, (6) outdated norms, (7) technologically-induced change. Because discussions why can be problematic are noticeably...
Technology helps to solve problems, but it may also lead unintended consequences. For example, biofuels help overcome the disadvantages of fossil fuels, their production might compete with food leading higher prices and hunger. Therefore, in recent decades, societal impact technology has come center attention. To deal potential ethical issues related technology, many scholars have emphasized importance addressing values already during design phase new technology. Values are understood as...
Technology should be aligned with our values. We make the case that attempts to align emerging technologies values reflect critically on these Critical thinking seems like a natural starting point for critical assessment of However, extant conceptualizations carve out no space scrutiny will argue we need focuses instead taking them as unexamined points. In order play crucial role in helping and technology, needs modified refocused Here, outline what value-centred could look like.
Abstract In this article, we discuss the importance of emotions for ethical reflection on technological developments, as well role that art can play in this. We review literature argues and should an important assessment acceptance risk designing morally responsible technologies. then investigate how technologically engaged contribute to critical, emotional-moral risks. The engages with technology is unexplored territory gives rise many fascinating philosophical questions have not yet been...
Large Language Models (LLMs) are expected to significantly impact various socio-technical systems, offering transformative possibilities for improved interaction between humans and technology. However, their integration poses complex challenges due the intricate interplay societal structures, human behaviour, technological innovation. This research explores these multifaceted challenges, emphasising need a human-centered approach in integrating LLMs ensure that advancements aligned with...
In this paper I want to propose a closer and somewhat different view on what is usually called “human-machine-interface”. To introduce new view, make distinction between cognitive physical interfaces. will show that we need think about interfaces not just in terms of materiality, but also cognition. Furthermore the aim article show, how philosophy technology can contribute developmental process enhance design
Research has documented robust associations between greater disgust sensitivity and (1) concern about disease, (2) political conservatism. However, the COVID-19 disease pandemic raised challenging questions these associations. In particular, why have conservatives—despite their sensitivity—exhibited less pandemic? Here, we aim to resolve this “conservatism-disgust paradox” address several outstanding theoretical regarding interrelations sensitivity, ideology, response. four studies...
