Social Impact of Technology
There is a clear parallel in the management of these implications in situations with other technologies such as biology (cloning), nuclear energy (the atomic bomb), artificial intelligence, etc.
“The ethics of exponential technology is the analysis of the nature and social impact of technology and the corresponding formulation of policies for the ethical use of said technology.”
There is a policy gap about how exponential technology should be used, which is why the category of “Unknown Situations in New Media” regains importance for ethics.
The need then arises to critically evaluate the need for the existence of an ethics of exponential technology to:
- Define clear positions regarding the management of recurring situations and solve problems never seen before.}
- A central task of the ethics of exponential technology is determining what we should do in these cases, that is, formulating policies to guide our actions.
