Digital innovation and emerging technologies may enable or disrupt environmental, economic or societal improvements. A responsible way forward considers values in the development and implementation of the digital or technological applications. The blended-learning course with face-to-face block course elements, self-learning phases and case studies is at the intersection between technology ethics and value-sensitive design.

This course informs students about the values and ethical considerations associated with the use and development of emerging technologies. It will equip scientists with a value-based design approach, which they could bring with when they enter today’s increasingly digitalized society. Case studies around artifical intelligence, generative AI, bias and inclusion, autonomous decision-making or drones in environmental and other context will be discussen in the group exercises and design requirements for the concepts of the next generation of technologies will be formulated by participants.
