03: Human Enhancement Technologies: Amplifying or Reducing Inequality
-
Hauptschule
Breakout
/
in englischer SpracheTechnologies facilitate various forms of enhancement in human characteristics (physical, cognitive, emotional, social). “Ordinary” human capabilities are optimised (e.g. neuro-enhancement, robotics, Google Glass, prostheses). A specific fusion of human and artefact takes place and appropriate technological design is critical. This breakout session will focus on the limits of enhanced performance: where do these limits bring more inequality but also a potential for enhancing societal benefit. What fundamental aspects of this development and its design considerations are most important for our future?
