Michael Nagenborg (he/him)On my way to the meeting of the #EthicsBoard of the municipality of #Enschede . Today we will discuss the dilemma between using corporate social media and including stake holders who are still using #WhatsApp, etc. I am looking forward to a stimulating debate. #EthicsOfTechnology
If you are aware of curious and critical students looking for a unique interdisciplinary #MSc Programme which combines #PhilosophyOfTechnology, #PhilosophyOfScience, #EthicsOfTechnology, #HistoryOfTechnology and #STS , please point them to #Philosophy of #Science , #Technology , and #Society. At the Open Day, they learn about our dedicated tracks on #TechnologyAndValues (in collaboration with 4TU.Centre for Ethics and Technology), #AI , and #Sustainability. https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/study-choice-calendar/master-open-day/#
And here's another paper from our work in the #NWO funded project #DoNoHarm: https://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/13/12/419 - It's hard to believe that the project is going to end soon. #RemoteSensing #AI #EthicsOfTechnology
Auditing Flood Vulnerability Geo-Intelligence Workflow for Biases
Geodata, geographical information science (GISc), and GeoAI (geo-intelligence workflows) play an increasingly important role in predictive disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM), aiding decision-makers in determining where and when to allocate resources. There have been discussions on the ethical pitfalls of these predictive systems in the context of DRRM because of the documented cases of biases in AI systems in other socio-technical systems. However, none of the discussions expound on how to audit geo-intelligence workflows for biases from data collection, processing, and model development. This paper considers a case study that uses AI to characterize housing stock vulnerability to flooding in Karonga district, Malawi. We use Friedman and Nissenbaum’s definition and categorization of biases that emphasize biases as a negative and undesirable outcome. We limit the scope of the audit to biases that affect the visibility of different housing typologies in the workflow. The results show how AI introduces and amplifies these biases against houses of certain materials. Hence, a group within the population in the area living in these houses would potentially miss out on DRRM interventions. Based on this example, we urge the community of researchers and practitioners to normalize the auditing of geo-intelligence workflows to prevent information disasters from biases.
Send us your bright and curious BA students! The international two #MSc programme is a unique opportunity to dig deep into various disciplines and fields to study the interplay between #science, #technology, and #society !

4TU.Ethics Research day - 4TU
The 4TU Centre for Ethics and Technology will host its biannual research day on 20 September 2023 in Utrecht at Stadskasteel Oudaen, Oudegracht 99. Whether presenting or not, all 4TU.Ethics members are welcome to join. Our general ambition for the research day is to give the members of our community the opportunity to meet up, not only…

EEUU is falling down and anyone knows what it will happen.

We must to see how to change this Capitalist Paradigm. 😖 WE MUST TO DO IT.
