How do ethics and new technologies interact? Considering the role of systems and, more specifically, innovations, this webinar will outline an approach to responsible innovation called Value Sensitive Design (VSD) as a method for designing systems that can be considered and defined as “good.” Beginning with practices of co-construction, the webinar will explore how it is possible to promote more participatory research and design the systems that characterize our daily lives and those of future generations.

 

The seminar will be held in Italian.

The presentation will be in-person in the FBK Aula Piccola while seats last and online.

Registration by November 26, 2023 at 12:00 a.m. is required in order to arrange the connection.
