Sustainable Climate Engineering Innovation and the Need for Accountability

Although still highly controversial, the idea that we can use technology to radically alter our environment in order to mitigate the climate challenges we now face is becoming an ever more discussed approach. This chapter takes up a specific climate engineering technology, carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS), and highlights how this...

Big Tech Corporations and AI: A Social License to Operate and Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships in the Digital Age

The pervasiveness of AI-empowered technologies across multiple sectors has led to drastic changes concerning traditional social practices and how we relate to one another. Moreover, market-driven Big Tech corporations are now entering public domains, and concerns have been raised that they may even influence public agenda and research. Therefore...

Correction to: Technology as Driver for Morally Motivated Conceptual Engineering (Philosophy & Technology, (2022), 35, 3, (71), 10.1007/s13347-022-00565-9)

The original version of this article unfortunately contained mistake. At the end of the reference list, on the last page, the added data has been removed. In footnote 11, we have enclosed parenthesis the reference (O’Shea 2018). The original article has been corrected.

Technology as Driver for Morally Motivated Conceptual Engineering

New technologies are the source of uncertainties about the applicability of moral and morally connotated concepts. These uncertainties sometimes call for conceptual engineering, but it is not often recognized when this is the case. We take this to be a missed opportunity, as a recognition that different researchers are working on the same kind...
