Responsible Research and Innovation of Blockchain Technology

This module links the ethical evaluation of blockchain technologies with contemporary approaches in applied ethics that focus on responsible research and innovation. It provides an overview of the current state of the art of these approaches and discusses their possible applications in the context of blockchain technologies. Furthermore, it zooms in on approaches used in recent literature that investigate the social and ethical impacts of blockchain technology.

The Basis for No Bias

Algorithmic bias is unavoidable when recognizing that humans create the initial code upon which these AI tools are built. By identifying and assessing the key considerations in how algorithms are created and the data sets they utilize, businesses can avoid negative unintended consequences and establish trust for the products and services they create. This course reviews the following topics: Socio-technical nature of algorithmic systems; Structural causes of unintended/unjustified bias; Illustrative examples of algorithmic bias and Key questions to answer when assessing bias in algorithmic systems.

The Economic Advantage of Ethical Design For Business

The rapid growth of autonomous and intelligent technology is affecting large portions of society in multiple verticals all at the same time. AI/S technology cannot be built in isolation, and to get a full sense of ethical and policy impacts of this technology it’s essential to understand the larger context of its implementation to best increase societal wellbeing while building your business.

The Nature of Nudging

“Nudging” refers to the ability of systems or robots (embodied AI) to overtly influence human users with or without their direct consent. When used by permission and with awareness around a robot or system’s desired goals, nudging can greatly improve user’s lives for anything from dieting to depression. However, when nudging is covert and utilized in aggressive advertising algorithms to incentivize purchase or influence behavior that may not be desired by users or their loved ones nudging poses an ethical threat and negative business implications.
