Drag is a type of performance which uses clothing and makeup to imitate and often exaggerate female gender signifiers and gender roles. It's an activity with a long and varied history, and continues to be a very popular form of entertainment, as attested by TV shows such as Ru Paul's Drag Race. It's also distinctive in having faced criticism from several different political directions, including conservative, transgender and feminist perspectives. In this conversation with Simon Kirchin, who is Professor of Applied Ethics, Director of IDEA, The Ethics Centre and someone who has experience as a drag performer himself, we mainly focused on the feminist critique. The problem is that drag typically involves men (a relatively advantaged group) imitating women (a relatively disadvantaged group), in a way that plays on often offensive stereotypes about women, for entertainment. Described in that way, it seems uncomfortably similar to blackface, a form of entertainment which follows a very similar dynamic, at least superficially, on racial lines. Professor Kirchin thinks a moral difference between these two activities can be identified, though, and in the conversation he explains why.You can read Simon's article on the topic here.Book your place at our public event with Gavin Esler, "Dead Cats, Strategic Lying and Truth Decay", here.

In a previous Climate One episode, we discussed the good, the bad, and the ugly impacts of artificial intelligence. But AI isn't going away. Humans rarely give up a nifty new tool unless something better comes along. AI's share of energy consumption is enormous, and the Department of Energy estimates that data center energy demands will double or even triple in just the next three years. Demand on fresh water is at least as big and isn't talked about nearly enough. So, what can we do to reduce AI's impact? Plenty of researchers have ideas — from site selection to energy efficiency to using zero-carbon sources of energy. But what will incentivize the AI corporations to take any of those actions? This episode is supported by Climate One Steward Noel Perry and Next 10.

An Oxford University Professor who researches ‘laziness' says that Generation Z are not lazy they are simply masters of ‘justified effort management. Katrien Devolder Professor of Applied Ethics at the University of Oxford joined us to explain.
Misinformation, fake news, hate speech, satire, the arts, political protest. These are all examples of what you might call disruptive speech. A free speech absolutist would say that all of these forms of speech should be tolerated, if not welcomed. On the other hand, it does look as though some of them are disruptive in a good way, and others are disruptive in a bad way. But can we tell the good from the bad in a way that isn't just politically partisan? Carl Fox, Lecturer in Applied Ethics at the IDEA Centre, thinks we can, and that we should treat different forms of disruptive speech differently. Here is Carl's paper on the subject in the Journal of Social Philosophy.Carl co-edited The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy and Media Ethics with fellow Ethics Untangled alumnus Joe Saunders, which contains a chapter by Carl on satire and stability. For further reading, there's Amy Olberding's book on manners and civility.In the interview, Carl mentions a paper on lying by Don Fallis. That's here:Fallis, D. 2009. “What Is Lying?” Journal of Philosophy 106(1): 29–56. And then there's the classic text on freedom and its limits, John Stuart Mill's On Liberty: Mill, J. S. 1974.

Made in Science – The official podcast of the University of Stuttgart
Our interviewee is Amrei Bahr, a philosopher specialising in applied ethics, aesthetics and the philosophy of technology at the University of Stuttgart. She is one of the co-founders of the university policy initiative ‘I am Hanna'. We talk about her research on applied ethics. She criticises the current open access publication system, which she believes is still a financial burden for many researchers. Bahr also emphasises the ethical problems of global waste management, in particular the harmful conditions in the recycling of electronic waste in Ghana. She argues in favour of a more differentiated approach to recycling and calls for better working conditions in academia, referring to her campaign against fixed-term contracts.

We talk about the ethics of technology, and a three-step approach to ethical reflection, inquiry, and deliberation. We discuss whether technology is neutral, what value is, the trolley problem, the importance of privacy for users, and responsibility. We talk about four different ethical approaches: consequentialism, deontology, relational ethics, and virtue ethics. We discuss where people can start when developing a new kind of technology, and we talk about three different methods: Human-Centred Design, Value Sensitive Design, and Responsible Innovation.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In a world where corporate ethics are often tested, the latest episode of the "Do Good to Lead Well" podcast brings a timely discussion with Ann Skeet, the Senior Director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. This episode offers listeners a comprehensive exploration into the intricacies of leading with integrity amidst the challenges of today's corporate landscape. During our conversation, Ann discusses the need for a comprehensive approach to ethics education and highlights the need for systemic assessments rather than attributing misconduct to a single "bad apple." We also explore how systemic pressures can foster a culture of fear and ethics washing and why organizations must effectively address toxic high performers. The episode further explores the role of empathy in ethical leadership, underscoring its influence on decision-making and organizational dynamics. Practical applications of empathy, such as rotating assignments and fostering narrative integration through leadership stories, are discussed. In a time when businesses must navigate partisanship, self-regulate, and address pressing issues like climate change and DEI initiatives, ethical leadership is more critical than ever. This episode inspires listeners to embrace their potential as ethical leaders, regardless of their role or setting. What You'll Learn: • How to foster a culture of trust and accountability within organizations. • The importance of empathy and ethics in decision-making and organizational dynamics. • Strategies for handling toxic high performers and conducting culture self-assessments. • How leaders can responsibly harness technology in the age of AI and disruptive innovations.

It's difficult to avoid artificial intelligence these days. When searching on Google or reading product reviews, there's a good chance that you'll be offered the option to read an AI-generated summary. Or maybe an AI tool will offer to write your work email for you. Savvy users are typically able to detect the errors in AI summaries, but even the most cautious and informed person might find it difficult to sort through what's accurate and what isn't. And while an ethical student wouldn't want to entrust their carefully thought out ideas to an AI writing program, it might be a temptation for those less skilled at writing, or less concerned about morals. These are just a few ways AI disrupts our already hectic human lives. There are also questions about AI taking human jobs, AI being used to spread disinformation, AI romantic partners, even AI contract killers. The ethical issues around AI are real. But does this mean AI itself is bad? Are there ethical ways of using it? On this episode of Glad You Asked, guest Brian Green talks to the hosts about what AI is, what the real ethical concerns are, and whether Catholics should use it at all. Green is the director of technology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. His work focuses on the impact of technology on human life, society, and religion. He has contributed to a number of books on AI and ethics and is the author of Space Ethics (Rowman & Littlefield). He's been a lead contributor on three World Economic Forum case studies on ethical practices at Microsoft, Salesforce, and IBM and has worked with the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education.

Should we be worried about teledildonics? *CONTENT WARNING. This episode contains frank descriptions of sexual practices of various kinds, and discussion of sexual assault and rape, including rape by deception.*Teledildonics is a word that refers to the use of networked electronic sex toys to facilitate sexual or quasi-sexual interactions between people at a distance. It's a relatively new type of technology, but one that is becoming more advanced. Clearly, it's a technology that opens up interesting new possibilities! But Robbie Arrell, Lecturer in Applied Ethics at the IDEA Centre, thinks it also raises some serious concerns, not all of which have yet been fully understood. In this conversation, Robbie outlines some of these worries, and begins to consider how we might address them.Some further reading:Robbie's chapter entitled "Sex and Emergent Technologies" in the Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Sex and Sexuality in which he discusses teledildonics: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003286523-49/sex-emergent-technologies-robbie-arrell.Robert Sparrow and Lauren Karas's paper "Teledildonics and Rape by Deception" that Robbie makes reference to in the podcast: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17579961.2020.1727097Ethics Untangled is produced by IDEA, The Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds.Twitter/X: @EthicsUntangledBluesky: @ethicsuntangled.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ideacetlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/idea-ethics-centre/

Online dating has been around for awhile, but the introduction of artificial intelligence into the world of dating can add some zest -- and cause for concern -- into the matchmaking mix. Neil McArthur, director of the Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics at the University of Manitoba, penned a fun article on the subject and joins Tamara Cherry to share why AI could make or break your dating life.

Produced by KSQD 90.7, 89.5 & 89.7FM “Be Bold America!” Sunday, February 25, 2024 at 5:00pm (PDT) This interview will take you on a journey into the recesses of your soul and will explore the ontological question: What is our underlying essence? Internationally acclaimed, Pulitzer Prize nominated, and local author and filmmaker, Michael A. Allen, uses the metaphor of the sea, and its ebb and flow, to describe the Tao of life's cycle. And, he discovers within this unique reflection a new way to comfort and heal the Self from the trauma of death. Michael was inspired to write his book Tao of Surfing: Finding Depth at Low Tide after his lifelong best friend and surfing partner suddenly came out as gay and died from AIDS in 1989. The book subsequently became the basis for the soon-to-be-released feature film, A Long Road to Tao, which Michael co-wrote and produced. Michael Allen will be joined in this interview by A Long Road to Tao cast member and fellow surfer, Mike Clancy, to discuss the book, the making of the film, the politics surrounding the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, and how the film relates to political issues facing the LGBTQ community today. Interview Guest (picture attached): Michael A Allen: Internationally acclaimed, and Pulitzer Prize nominated author Michael A Allen, hold a Master's degree in Philosophy and Certificate and Asian Studies from California State University at Long Beach, and is a member of the Phi Sigma Tau Philosophy Honor Society.

“I can think of examples where I have two patients. They have the same diagnosis, but they have two different insurance companies, treatment plan's the same. ‘Patient A' isn't going to get the optimal treatment plan because their insurance company won't approve it. ‘Patient B' is going to get the Cadillac version of this treatment plan, and what am I supposed to do about it,” Lucia D. Wocial, PhD, RN, FAAN, HEC-C, senior clinical ethicist in the John J. Lynch Center for Ethics at the MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a discussion about how access-to-care issues can produce moral dilemmas for nurses and how to manage this.

Highlights From Today's Episode “When people think of a moral dilemma, sometimes what I think they're considering is what I call a 'moral temptation.' So, that's a situation where there's one right and clearly a wrong answer. And usually, the wrong thing is about doing something that benefits you.” TS 2:50 “An ethical dilemma is a situation in which you are compelled to make a choice between two or more actions—I say two or more; it's very rarely just two—that will affect the well-being of someone else, usually. So, the actions that you're considering can be reasonably justified, both of them, as being good or bad. Neither action is obviously good or obviously bad, and maybe the goodness of the action is uncertain. So, sometimes people will say choices between two equally good choices, and sometimes people say between equally bad choices. But the fact is you have to pick one.” TS 4:13 “Even stories with happy endings sometimes have a really bumpy road on the way to that happy ending. Some people also think of this as what's called a 'vicarious secondary trauma.' ‘I was there. I walked through this patient's journey, and I know the patient was traumatized by it, but so was I.' You know, sometimes people will experience compassion fatigue when they feel unable to help someone overcome the barriers that are keeping them from getting better.” TS 6:18 “Meet your social worker. Be as nice as possible as you can to them. They, like you, are not paid enough for what they do. Know and become familiar with resources that are available in the community. The American Cancer Society, for example, has a wealth of resources for cancer patients, including rides to clinic appointments. Knowing how to tap into them is really, really important.” TS 14:52 “Fourteen states ban abortion outright. Just think about that. It is not uncommon, and I know your nurses know this, for cancer to be diagnosed during pregnancy. And there are women who are faced with the decision of initiating chemo or terminating a pregnancy or initiating chemo and risking the teratogenic effects of the chemo. Most physicians would really struggle with that. So, they have to choose, literally choose between themselves and a fetus. In some states, the laws are quite clear. People who assist individuals getting termination of pregnancy can be criminally prosecuted. That's a big deal, and it weighs pretty heavily on folks.” TS 21:09 “Many people do not realize that Planned Parenthood, as a resource, the bulk of their work is screening. It's screening and contraception and other things which, you know, think about vaccination to prevent viruses that we know can lead to cervical cancer. And when those organizations are forced to close, that limits access, and that means, usually, you will see an increased incidence of cancers that could have been prevented or detected earlier.” TS 23:57 “I do know people who are making choices with their feet. Those who are able to, they're moving and leaving states, and the data is clear about that. States that have significant restrictions on abortion are seeing an exodus of healthcare providers. So, it is a really complicated issue. It's going to be a difficult time until it works itself out. Hopefully it will work itself out. I think there will be a clear distinction between states that have access and states that don't.” TS 24:44 “All of your patients are at risk for financial ruin. Insurance companies change their enrollment practices. People whose spouses who carry them on their insurance lose their jobs. Everybody's at risk. The best thing you can do is to acknowledge it upfront and figure out how you're going to cope with the inequities that exist in our healthcare system. It's not a pretty answer, and it's not an easy answer for me to say out loud.” TS 27:29 “There are things to not do. So, there are times when you care for a patient, and you form a special bond, and the patient hits some hard times. Please don't give them money. I know you're tempted, and I know it seems really easy—like a cup of coffee, that's not a big deal. Now, this is where frequently, from a professional ethics standpoint, people ask me like, ‘What's a boundary crossing? What's a violation?' Like when people are in trouble is when nurses are most vulnerable because they're the most compassionate people I know. And they really, really, really want to help.” TS 32:24 “You need to be able, as a bedside nurse, to say, ‘Hey, have you reached out to our financial office? Have you reached out to this? Have you done this? And oh, I know it's really hard for you to ask, but we have a program for families who have this sort of circumstances. I really encourage you to apply.' I think that's the other thing about this is we still are in a society where it's shameful to not have money. I wish we could fix that one, but we can't. So, you know, the best thing nurses can do, really, is to help normalize the experience of not having enough resources to get what you deserve.” TS 34:26 “I will say for nurses who have a deep philosophical opposition to medical aid in dying, if one of your patients asks you about it, the most graceful thing you can say is, if you're in a state where it's legal, ‘I would encourage you to talk to your doctor about that. And going forward, I may not be a nurse who can take care of you in that circumstance.' You don't have to say why. You just have to say it may not be possible. If you're opposed to it and a patient approaches you about it, the thing not to say is, ‘You know, that's morally wrong.' If you struggle with it, then it's your opportunity to connect the patient with someone who can talk to them about it.” TS 37:44 “The data on systemic racism in health care is overwhelming, and it makes me sad every time I look at it. I don't work with people who I know would intentionally not provide good care to someone because they were of a different color or had a different financial background. And yet, the data is really clear. So, that means we all have to get a big, fat mirror and look at it, and it's painful.” TS 44:55

Walter is an inter-disciplinary philosopher. He works primarily on the Philosophy of Cognitive and Biological Sciences, the Philosophy of Mind, Applied Ethics and particularly in the intersections of those fields. Much of his recent work has focused on animal minds, welfare, and ethics, as well as evolution. His new book ‘A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness‘ integrates this research into a coherent whole. It is being launched today (16th June) with Routledge. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “who matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on YouTube. We discuss: 00:00 Taster clips! 01:02 Welcome 02:22 Book Launch: A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness 03:40 Walter's Intro - Peter Godfrey-Smith & Paul Griffiths - Heather Browning - "An evolutionary, non-anthropocentric approach" - "A lot of the denial of pain [e.g. fish, crustaceans, octopuses] has rested on a very #anthropocentric position" - Some animals have different eyes vs. humans but that doesn't mean they can't see. The same applies re: the architectures underpinning consciousness - "what animal lives are like... what kinds of subjective experiences would be useful for them to have from a #Darwinian perspective" - Studying consciousness "as a natural phenomenon... rather than... as a human phenomenon" - Did human social contexts (barter, trade, co-operation, agreements) lead to us having more abstract cognitive facilities? - Modern discoveries re: advanced cognitive and social capabilities in non-human animals (e.g. corvids, octopuses) 10:53 A Darwinian Perspective - Daniel Dennett "Complexity matters - but what kind of compexity" - IIT & HigherOrderTheory - Brain hemispheres operating more independently. Two separate streams of experience? - Theories of consciousness that are untestable or fail to make predictions - Panpsychism, illusionism - "The Darwinian bottleneck" - "Philosophers very rarely ask the question 'where does the mind come from?'" - "In order to understand how it works we'll need to understand why it evolved" - "We can only understand what consciousness is by understanding how it evolved" - Evolution & development processes - Epiphenomena - Marian Dawkins - "This attitude that anything goes in the literature... it doesn't seem like we're making any progress... we're just creating new outlandish views without having any means of trying to filter them out... like panpsychism" - JW: "It's very common for people to say 'we know nothing about consciousness' which I find a bizarre statement" - "We've made so much scientific progress" - "There are some mental properties that are unique to humans but it's very unclear those are the ones that matter for moral purposes" 20:31 The Origins of Sentience & Consciousness - "It is adaptationist... very complex phenomena don't just appear out of nowhere... They almost always have a functional role. They're not just spandrels..." - "Consciousness is just far to complex and evolutionarily fine tuned for that to happen" - "In our own experience we can see how well it helps us... even if it sometimes can misfire" - The mistaken view that consciousness must be sharp-edged & binary, on or off - "If you can't explain how it can gradually come into existence you must believe that it has always been there" #panpsychism - Wanting to apply crisp well bounded concepts (baldness, life, health, consciousness) to a messy reality ...and much more.

As technology develops at an ever more rapid pace, it can seem that ethics struggles to keep up with it. While science and technology advance by building on discoveries of the past, virtue and moral knowledge must be cultivated afresh in every individual and each generation. This is where Brian Green comes in. As director of technology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, his areas of research are many, ranging from transhumanism and artificial intelligence, to catastrophic risk and the ethics of outer space. This diverse array of interests all pivot on the intersection between technology and humanity. In this rerun episode, Brian and Gretchen dive into many areas of tech ethics that both impact our present lives and promise to shape our future. From immediate ethical dilemmas like self-driving car crashes and responsible tech development, to long-view issues like the establishment of extra-terrestrial colonies and the achievement of artificial general intelligence, they reflect on a large range of themes that can affect human lives for both good and ill. Listen in as they discuss old and forgotten tools for answering ethical questions, the Christian commission to work miracles, which human qualities can't be programmed into machines, and more. Together they ask, should our predictions about technology and ethics be dire, or hopeful? What choices are we making now that will shape coming generations?

Chris McClean reflects on ethics vs. risk, ethically positive outcomes, the nature of trust, looking beyond ourselves, privacy at work and in the metaverse.Chris outlines the key differences between digital ethics and risk management. He emphasizes the discovery of positive outcomes as well as harms and where a data-driven approach can fall short. From there, Chris outlines a comprehensive digital ethics framework and why starting with impact is key. He then describes a pragmatic approach for making ethics accessible without sacrificing rigor.Kimberly and Chris discuss the definition of trust, the myriad reasons we might trust someone or something, and why trust isn't set-it-and-forget-it. From your smart doorbell to self-driving cars and social services, Chris argues persuasively for looking beyond ‘how does this affect me.' Highlighting Eunice Kyereme's work on digital makers and takers, Chris describes the role we each play – however unwittingly – in creating the digital ecosystem. We then discuss surveillance vs. monitoring in the workplace and the potential for great good and abuse inherent in the Metaverse. Finally, Chris stresses that ethically positive outcomes go beyond ‘tech for good' and that ethics is good business.Chris McClean is the Global Head of Digital Ethics at Avanade and a PhD candidate in Applied Ethics at the University of Leeds. A transcript of this episode is here.
Financial Times columnist and CNN global economic analyst Rana Foroohar offers a deep look at the vulnerabilities of globalization. She makes the case that the reign of globalization as we've known it is over and the rise of local, regional and homegrown business is now at hand. She says that for decades, the neoliberal economic philosophy of prioritizing efficiency over resilience and profits over local prosperity has produced massive inequality, persistent economic insecurity, and distrust in our institutions. Place-based economics and a wave of technological innovations now make it possible to keep operations, investment and wealth closer to home, wherever that may be.

Recorded in 2004. This course is intended to be a general introduction to the main topics and the most significant developments in 20th-century ethics. Several of the figures discussed in these lectures, notably Elizabeth Anscombe and Alasdair MacIntyre, are among the most important Catholic philosophers in the century. This course focuses on Analytic, Anglophone ethics which had dominated moral philosophy in the universities of the U.S. and the U.K. for most of the century. There is a clear point of origination of this tradition in G. E. Moore's Principia Ethica, published in 1903, and a clear line of development within this tradition to the present day. catholicthinkers.org https://youtu.be/Wc76ffgxLNQ
This week on Your AI Injection, Deep speaks with Dr. Brian Green. Dr. Green is the director of technology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. His work focuses mainly on the relationship of ethics in AI. In this episode, we find out how social media algorithms can encourage negative thinking. We also talk about how tech companies can create ethical AI during the product design process and what it means to expand the ethical circle. We also touch on the ethical dilemmas in self driving cars, autonomous weapons and more.

Our hosts Dr. Aparna Baheti and Dr. Michael Barraza talk with Dr. Mina Makary about what constitutes a conflict of interest, and how we can reduce bias in research without stifling innovation.

Dr. Makary walks us through the study design. The analysis over one year of JVIR articles had two goals. Firstly, the study aimed to assess the prevalence of disclosures in US-based IR research. Additionally, the researchers inspected the level of agreement between disclosed financial relationships and open payment data for top-cited image-guided procedure research. Since 2013, the open payment data has been available on the CMS Open Payment database. Key results showed that disclosures were reported in 29% of JVIR publications in 2019. When comparing reported versus actual financial relationships, it was found that 97% of researchers failed to disclose at least one active financial relationship. Furthermore, there was an average of $58k in undisclosed payments for each publication. Finally, we discuss important takeaways from this study. While industry support is a necessary driver of IR device innovation and practice building, it can influence research agendas. Dr. Makary advises all IRs to be cognizant of the underreporting of financial relationships and how this could make authors implicitly or explicitly biased in their research. He advocates for the construction of an open global registry that automatically links payment information to research disclosures. --- RESOURCES Potential Bias in Image-Guided Procedure Research: A Retrospective Analysis of Disclosed Conflicts of Interest and Open Payment Records: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34756998/ In Science We Trust?

As technology develops at an ever more rapid pace, it can seem that ethics struggles to keep up with it. While science and technology advance by building on discoveries of the past, virtue and moral knowledge must be cultivated afresh in every individual and each generation. This is where Brian Green comes in. As director of technology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, his areas of research are many, ranging from transhumanism and artificial intelligence, to catastrophic risk and the ethics of outer space. This diverse array of interests all pivot on the intersection between technology and humanity. In this episode, Brian and Gretchen dive into many areas of tech ethics that both impact our present lives and promise to shape our future. From immediate ethical dilemmas like self-driving car crashes and responsible tech development, to long-view issues like the establishment of extra-terrestrial colonies and the achievement of artificial general intelligence, they reflect on a large range of themes that can affect human lives for both good and ill. Listen in as they discuss old and forgotten tools for answering ethical questions, the Christian commission to work miracles, which human qualities can't be programmed into machines, and more. Together they ask, should our predictions about technology and ethics be dire, or hopeful? What choices are we making now that will shape coming generations?
During this edition, Christopher Macklin joins me again to discuss aliens, nanotechnology, and mind control. Visit his website at www.christophermacklinministries.com Ethics of nanotechnology is the study of the ethical issues emerging from advances in nanotechnology and its impacts. According to Andrew Chen, ethical concerns about nanotechnologies should include the possibility of their military applications, the dangers posed by self-replicant nanomachines, and their surveillance monitoring and tracking use.[1] Environmental and public health risks are treated in a report from the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment[2] and a report from the European Environment Agency.[3] Academic works on the ethics of nanotechnology can be found in the journal Nanoethics. Guidelines[edit] According to the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics[1], possible guidelines for the Ethics of nanotechnology could include: Nanomachines should only be specialized, not for general purposes. Nanomachines should not be self-replicating. Nanomachines should not be made to use an abundant natural compound as fuel. Nanomachines should be tagged so that they can be tracked. Concerns[edit] Ethical concerns about nanotechnology include opposition to their use to fabricate Lethal autonomous weapons and the fear that they may self-replicate ad infinitum in a gray goo scenario, first imagined by K. Eric Drexler.[4] For the EEA [3], the challenge posed by nano-materials is due to their properties of being novel, persistent, readily dispersed, and bioaccumulative; by analogy, thousands of cases of mesothelioma were caused by the inhalation of asbestos dust. See nanotoxicology. Nanotechnology belongs to the class of emerging technology known as GRIN: geno-, robo-, info- nano-technologies. Another common acronym is NBIC (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology, and Cognitive Science). These technologies are hoped[5] - or feared,[6] depending on the viewpoint- to improve human bodies and functionalities, see transhumanism. Loss of human identity[edit]In the U.S., the Amish are a religious group most known for avoiding certain modern technologies. Transhumanists draw a parallel by arguing that there will probably be "humanists" shortly, people who choose to "stay human" by not adopting human enhancement technologies. They believe their choice must be respected and protected.[134] In his 2003 book Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age, environmental ethicist Bill McKibben argued at length against many of the technologies that are postulated or supported by transhumanists, including germinal choice technology, nanomedicine, and life extension strategies. He claims that it would be morally wrong for humans to tamper with fundamental aspects of themselves (or their children) to overcome universal human limitations, such as vulnerability to aging, maximum life span, and biological constraints on physical and cognitive ability. Attempts to "improve" themselves through such manipulation would remove limitations that provide a necessary context for the experience of meaningful human choice. He claims that human lives would no longer seem significant in a world where such limitations could be overcome technologically. Even the goal of using germinal choice technology for clearly therapeutic purposes should be relinquished since it would inevitably produce temptations to tamper with such things as cognitive capacities. He argues that societies can benefit from renouncing particular technologies, such as Ming China, Tokugawa Japan, and the contemporary Amish.[135] Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook It's super easy to access our archives!
