Interessante commento uscito nel numero di gennaio di Communications of the ACM: https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2020/1/241714-ethics-of-technology-needs-more... L'autore prende come riferimento il noto "trolley problem" e suggerisce che esso dovrebbe essere trattato non (solo) con la filosofia morale, ma (anche) con la filosofia politica, perché essa ha migliori strumenti per trattare le questioni del pluralismo, dell’azione umana e della legittimità delle decisioni. Riporto un breve estratto dal finale che ho trovato particolarmente concreto e personalmente abbastanza condivisibile: “To respect reasonable pluralism, our responses to ethical challenges of technology should find common ground between the fundamentally different values that people hold and consider processes of incorporating and resolving value conflicts. To respect individual agency, we should hesitate to replace human judgment and decision making. And if we make decisions that affect others, we should keep their interests in mind and try to decide for them as they would for themselves. To respect legitimacy, corporations should democratize decisions that affect basic goods such as individuals' liberty, safety, or opportunity. Options to democratize corporate decisions can involve government regulation, stakeholder participation, or deliberative input from the public, among others.” Un caro saluto, antonio
