Technology Ethics
Responsible Innovation and Design Strategies"In this concise and very accessible book, Steven Umbrello provides a much-needed cost/benefit analysis of the existing ways of making sense of technology – instrumentalism, determinism, constructivism – and then engineers a new interactionist framework that is agile, dynamic and capable of scaling to the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century and beyond. It is essential knowledge for engineers, philosophers and anyone seeking to understand the way that our technological tools both reflect and influence human values."David J. Gunkel, Northern Illinois University"Much contemporary work on technology ethics is focused on cases and artefacts. Umbrello also gives the reader guidance on how to implement ethics in design and on responsible innovation, but at the same time helpfully connects technology ethics to key concepts in philosophy of technology. Yet Technology Ethics does not only offer a philosophically informed overview of a highly relevant field; it also contains an important normative message: if technology is not just a tool, but shapes the world, engineers have an important responsibility to help make the world a better place."Mark Coeckelbergh, University of Vienna

Designed for Death
Controlling Killer RobotsOffers a realistic but also an optimistic guide for how, with human values in mind, we can begin to design killer robots. Drawing on the value sensitive design approach to technology innovation, Steven Umbrello argues that context is king and that a middle path for designing killer robots is possible if we consider both ethics and design as linked.

Values for a Post-Pandemic Future
This open access book shows how value sensitive design (VSD), responsible innovation, and comprehensive engineering can guide the rapid development of technological responses to the COVID-19 crisis. Responding to the ethical challenges of data-driven technologies and other tools requires thinking about values in the context of a pandemic as well as in a post-COVID world. Instilling values must be prioritized from the beginning, not only in the emergency response to the pandemic, but in how to proceed with new societal precedents materializing, new norms of health surveillance, and new public health requirements.The contributors with expertise in VSD bridge the gap between ethical acceptability and social acceptance. By addressing ethical acceptability and societal acceptance together, VSD guides COVID-technologies in a way that strengthens their ability to fight the virus, and outlines pathways for the resolution of moral dilemmas. This volume provides diachronic reflections on the crisis response to address long-term moral consequences in light of the post-pandemic future. Both contact-tracing apps and immunity passports must work in a multi-system environment, and will be required to succeed alongside institutions, incentive structures, regulatory bodies, and current legislation. This text appeals to students, researchers and importantly, professionals in the field.
