This is Technology Ethics

An Introduction

Omschrijving

Should a robot that looks and acts like us be treated with the same moral consideration as a human being? Are technologies morally neutral, or do they have human values and prejudices embedded in them? Should we physically merge with the technologies we use? Is it ethical to use autonomous weapons systems in warfare? What if the artificial intelligence we develop gets out of control? Who is responsible? What should we do about it? This is Technology Ethics: An Introduction offers an engaging and approachable introduction to the philosophical study of ethical dilemmas in technology. Author Sven Nyholm explores an array of ethical questions concerning robots, self-driving cars, brain implants, social media, communication technologies, self-learning machines, and more. Requiring no previous background in the subject, this easily accessible volume describes key discussions, issues, and themes and invites you to develop your own perspectives on the ethical implications of creating technologies that may lead to morally problematic consequences. This is Technology Ethics: An Introduction is a must-read for undergraduate students taking a Technology Ethics course, academic researchers in the field, scientists and engineers, technology professionals, and general readers wanting to explore the ways emerging technologies are changing the way we think about ethics and morality.
