Faglig innhold
Technology permeates modern societies for better or worse. This course provides an introduction to contemporary debates on technology and ethics pursuing questions like: Why are technologists now expected to be more ethically sensitive? Can technology meet the grand challenges of our time? May technologists be held responsible for undesirable implications of technologies? Should lay-people's opinion matter in questions of technology development? What are the relationships between technology and values? By entering various cases and technology controversies we shall simultaneously discuss and evaluate implications of various answers given to these questions.
