Within the ESDiT (Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies) project, the working group on “Attention Economy” organizes an online seminar on 'A Lightbulb for the Mind: Possible Futures for the Attention Economy' as part of the series “Attending as practice in the attention economy”
The objective of the conference is to study and ethically assess the transformative consequences of these emerging technologies, of social institutions, the environment, human relations, personal identities, thought and language. There will be a particular focus on challenges of disruptive technologies to key concepts and values, like “truth”, “agency”, “democracy”, “human nature” and “life”.
On January 27 and 28, 2022, the Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies research consortium will hold an international online conference on Intercultural Ethics and Technology. Our aim is to bring together the ethical approaches and frameworks from various cultural backgrounds and traditions, to organize an intercultural ethical dialogue, especially on (but not limited to) technology and its social and cultural implications.
