Strive for justice in technological design

Bij de ontwikkeling van nieuwe technologie is het belangrijk dat er ook naar de ethische overwegingen en maatschappelijke waarden wordt gekeken. Denk aan zaken zoals privacy, duurzaamheid en beveiliging. Maar wist je dat ook rechtvaardigheid kan en moet worden meegenomen? Dit thema krijgt vooralsnog helaas minder aandacht, maar is daarom niet minder belangrijk. Het instituut Design for Values van de Technische Universiteit Delft heeft daarom justice (rechtvaardigheid) gekozen als jaarthema. Hiermee wil het instituut bewustwording creëren en handvatten bieden voor het integreren van rechtvaardigheidsvragen in ontwerpprocessen. Wij spreken met Ibo van de Poel, wetenschappelijk directeur, over het belang van deze waarde.

Algorithms: can you trust them or not? - TU Delft Story - Technology, Policy & Management

“Algorithms do not discriminate inherently; the human factor is key – what data we put in, at what point we find an algorithm good enough, when we intervene, and how easy we make it to lodge objections to it.” Assistant professor Stefan Buijsman is exploring how we can use artificial intelligence responsibly. His attitude is positive: “I think that good interaction between AI and people can make our word fairer, cleaner, healthier, and safer.”
