In this episode, we talk to Dr Jack Stilgoe, professor in science and technology studies at University College London, about driverless vehicles. We discuss what technologies are being tested, future prospects, questions of control, risk and regulation. Professor Stilgoe researches the governance of emerging technologies, is part of the UKRI Responsible AI leadership team and was principal investigator of the ESRC Driverless Futures project (2019-2022).

In this episode Sven and John discuss the thorny topic of responsibility gaps and technology. Over the past two decades, a small cottage industry of legal and philosophical research has arisen in relation to the idea that increasingly autonomous machines create gaps in responsibility. But what does this mean? Is it a serious ethical/legal problem? How can it be resolved? All this and more is explored in this episode. You can download the episode here or listen below.

Will robots steal my job? Will gene editing cure my cancer? HYPE is a fundamental part of science communication, the development of new technologies, and the crucially important interface between business, investment, and new technology. How does HYPE work? Can it be used for good? In this conversation at the 2022 STS1Book celebration at University College London, Gemma Milne discusses her book, SMOKE AND MIRRORS, with Jack Stilgoe. They discuss her interest in HYPE as an ever-present phenomenon in our society, and how it affects thinking about technology today. Gemma and Jack reflect on the importance of hype-awareness in society. It's not always a bad thing, Gemma says, but we need to be alert to how hype skews the conversation. Gemma Milne. 2020.

On this week’s show Chris and guest host Dom Mason are joined by Jack Stilgoe to talk about the technology and policy surrounding self-driving cars.

This month is a bit different. This episode is the first part of an investigation, led by Jack, into self-driving cars, trying to locate the technology in particular places. The first part focuses on Phoenix, Arizona, a testbed for some of the technology's most ambitious developers and also the scene of the first self-driving car crash to kill a pedestrian. Jack talks to various experts - historians, crash investigators, journalists and tech company representatives - to ask what the technology might mean for different places. The second part moves to Jack's home town, London.The episode was presented and written by Jack Stilgoe and edited by Gemma Milne, with research assistance from Nuzhah Miah.- Jack Stilgoe, (2019) Who Killed Elaine Herzberg?, OneZero, 12 Dec 2019, https://onezero.medium.com/who-killed-elaine-herzberg-ea01fb14fc5e- Chris Tennant, & Jack Stilgoe, (2021).

“What is STS?” This is a question all STS students are asked on a regular basis – when travelling, joining a new sports club, at parties or family reunions, and when being interviewed for jobs. I find the question isn't as straightforward as most people want. I study Science and Society at University College London. In this episode, I explore what Science and Technology Studies (STS) is really all about. To do this, I interview three of my tutors about three ordinary things: the fruit fly Drosophila, the car and the idea of standard time. Each of these examples tells fascinating stories about science, technology, and society. Each displays the value of STS as a research skill or technique for investigation. When we ask the right questions, we can get underneath the subjects we study and engage fundamental questions. For example, how is science made? Why did a particular scientific development happen at the precise place and time that it did? How do technologies become established in our societies and how do they have the power to change our lives? Who benefits and who loses with innovation and discovery? How do the ways we imagine emerging technologies shape our future?

Kohler, “Moral economy, material culture, and community in Drosophila Genetics” in Mario Biagioli, ed., The Science Studies Reader (NY: Routledge, 1999), pp. 243-257.

Episode 19: Climate Change, Vaccines, AI, and the Lure of Technochauvinism featuring Meredith BroussardThis month, Jack and Shobita discuss the recent IPCC report on climate change and the politics of vaccine "hesitancy", and puzzle over the lure of technological fixes to solve complex problems. And Jack speaks with Meredith Broussard, Associate Professor of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University and Research Director, NYU Alliance for Public Interest Technology, who has developed a new approach to understanding this puzzle: technochauvinism.- Jack Stilgoe (2013).

STS student, Nuzhah Miah, interviews Dr Jack Stilgoe about Evgeny Morozov's 2014 book, To Save Everything Click Here, asking him why it's recommended reading for new students coming into UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS). The book they are discussing is Evgeny Morozov (2014) To Save Everything Click Here: Technology, Solutionism, and the urge to fix problems that don't exist (Penguin). The publisher's description reads: “Our gadgets are getting smarter. Technology can log what we buy, customize what we consume and enable us to save and share every aspect of our existence. In the future, we're told, it will even make public life - from how we're governed to how we record crime - better. But can the digital age fix everything? Should it? By quantifying our behaviour, Evgeny Morozov argues, we are profoundly reshaping society - and risk losing the opacity and imperfection that make us human.”   Featuring Interviewee: Dr Jack Stilgoe, Associate Professor of Social Studies of Science at UCL. Interviewer: Nuzhah Miah, student in UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS). She also is host of "The Spilled Milk" podcast.   This interview took place in August 2020.   Show credits The host was Professor Joe Cain. Editing and postproduction by Miah and Cain.

In this episode Helen Czerski talks to Jack Stilgoe, Associate professor in Science and Technology Studies at University College London, about automotive automation. Yes, it’s an exciting technology that will hopefully benefit everyone, but before we get to that point, it has many, many barriers to overcome. Helen talks to Jack about the politics behind it, the ethical nature of if something goes wrong and how this affects us, as a society. There are four reasons to go to www.fullycharged.show. 1.

100 years on from Isaac Asimov's birth, Matthew Sweet looks at one of the bigger ideas contained in some of his 500 books; Psychohistory. The idea, from Asimov's Foundation series, was that rather like the behaviour of a gas could be reduced to statistical probabilities of the behaviour of billions of molecules, so the history of billions of human beings across the fictional galactic empire could be predicted through a few laws he called 'Psychohistory'. The idea inspired many to think that social sciences and economics can really be reduced to some sort of idealized set of physics principles, making future events completely predictable. It and similar ideas are still breeding enthusiasm for such things as data science, AI, machine learning, and arguably even the recent job advert by Downing Street advisor Dominic Cummings for more 'Super-Talented Wierdos' to work for government. But how do we see what is real and what is not, what is Sci-Fi and what is hype, what is reasonable and what is desirable, in the gaps between innovation and inspiration, restraint and responsibility? Jack Stilgoe of University College London has a new book out "Who's Driving Innovation?". Science and Tech journalist Gemma Milne's forthcoming book is called "Smoke and Mirrors: How hype obscures the future and How to see past it". Una McCormack is an expert and teacher in science fiction writing and is author of numerous fiction and fan fiction novels herself, while Alexander Boxer is a data scientist who's new book "Scheme of Heaven" makes the case that we have much to learn about human efforts to deduce the future from observable events by looking at the history of Astrology, its aims and techniques. You can find more about robots in the Free Thinking the Future playlist of programmes or by looking for the episode called Robots, Makt Myrkranna https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08chbpc Matthew's conversation with the late Tony Garnett is in the Free Thinking archive here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07h6r8l Producer: Alex Mansfield

Where are we? How did we get here, and where are we going? Our relationship with the self-propelled small metal boxes in which we spend so much of our time is not as simple as it feels. Why did we learn to need them? How did they shape our cities, our typewriters and our bacon slicers? Should we now redesign our roads, streets and even our skies for AI driven cars? What do we learn by looking at suburban car parks? A discussion reflecting on speed, automobiles, AI and the 60th anniversary of the M1 motorway. Anne McElvoy presents. Brendan Cormier is curator of the forthcoming exhibition Cars: Accelerating the Modern World, which opens in November. Nicole Badstuber of the University of Westminster studies our commuting habit and the trends in journeying that modern life inflicts on all of us. Jack Stilgoe is a senior lecturer at UCL who studies governance and oversight of emerging technologies, looking in particular at driverless futures. Gareth E Rees is author of Car Park Life, a journal of empty spaces and discarded moment, described as "A Retail Park Heart of Darkness". M1 Symphony, a soundscape documentary telling the story of Britain’s first motorway, featuring a specially-commissioned composition from former BBC Proms Inspire composer Alex Woolf, performed by the BBC Philharmonic is available to hear if you search for BBC Radio 3's Sunday Feature. On BBC.com/Ideas you can find a short film exploring the history of motorway service stations Producer: Alex Mansfield.

#048: “Acceptance of what?” - Dr. Jack Stilgoe, University College London (at AVS 2019) What's better: public acceptance or public acceptability? Pete and SAFE Greg sat down to ponder AVs, PAVE, and public perception with Dr. Jack Stilgoe, Associate Professor at the Department of Science and Technology Studies at University College London. We discuss the perception challenges ahead for AVs, the international landscape for AV development and testing, and reactions to technology-related crashes. “The right way to think about it if you're developing the technology is to think, what will be acceptable technology?” Jack suggests. “Even just the even twist to say ‘let's talk about public acceptability.' What will people actually want? What will go with people's hopes and values.” Follow Jack on Twitter: @JackStilgoe Find Jack's work at https://driverless-futures.com As always, you can also keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @SharedMobilityS, @SmarterTranspo.

It's been an exceptionally long and harsh winter in North America and it has Jacquelyn thinking about what is and isn't in our control. On the topic of climate, such thoughts can lead to the controversial topic of geoengineering. Jacquelyn and Ramesh have a fascinating chat with Dr. Jane Flegal, Program Officer for Environment at The Bernard and Anne Spitzer Charitable Trust, about the current state of geoengineering. Also, in unexpected science, Ramesh talks about new research involving cycles of CO2 levels in the ocean and coral reefs. Here's Dr. Flegal's geoengineering reading list: Jack Stilgoe’s book, Experiment Earth: https://www.amazon.com/Experiment-Earth-Responsible-innovation-geoengineering/dp/0415732379 Oliver Morton’s book, The Planet Remade: https://press.princeton.edu/titles/10657.html Stilgoe et al. on geoengineering and responsible innovation: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733313000930 Flegal and Gupta on arguments for and geoengineering that depend on invoking the global poor as a rationale: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10784-017-9377-6 NAS reports on geoengineering or climate intervention: https://nas-sites.org/americasclimatechoices/other-reports-on-climate-change/climate-intervention-reports/ Jon Symons’s critique of the Oxford Principles: https://thebreakthrough.org/journal/no.-8-winter-2018/geoengineering-justice The Oxford Principles: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584-012-0675-2 Clare Heyward and Steve Rayner on asymmetrical critique (often by social scientists) of geoengineering interventions vs. conventional climate interventions: http://geoengineering-governance-research.org/perch/resources/workingpaper7heywardrayneracuriousasymmetry.pdf Code of conduct for geoengineering by Prof. Anna-Maria Hubert: https://www.ucalgary.ca/grgproject/files/grgproject/revised-code-of-conduct-for-geoengineering-research-2017-hubert.pdf Don't forget to subscribe to Warm Regards on Medium - medium.com/@ourwarmregards/ on iTunes - itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/warm-…d1127571287?mt=2 Soundcloud - @warmregardspodcast Stitcher - www.stitcher.com/podcast/stephen-…cey/warm-regards Twitter - twitter.com/ourwarmregards and Facebook - www.facebook.com/WarmRegardsPodcast/ to keep up with all the news that, for now, is still changing faster than the climate.

What does it means for technology to “get it right,” and why do tech companies ignore long-term risks in their research? How can we balance near-term and long-term AI risks? And as tech companies become increasingly powerful, how can we ensure that the public has a say in determining our collective future? To discuss how we can best prepare for societal risks, Ariel spoke with Andrew Maynard and Jack Stilgoe on this month’s podcast. Andrew directs the Risk Innovation Lab in the Arizona State University School for the Future of Innovation in Society, where his work focuses on exploring how emerging and converging technologies can be developed and used responsibly within an increasingly complex world. Jack is a senior lecturer in science and technology studies at University College London where he works on science and innovation policy with a particular interest in emerging technologies.

Jack Stilgoe joins Andrew Maynard and Heather Ross to talk about the present and future of autonomous vehicles.
