Скачать или смотреть Philosophy & Ethics of Technology | Is Technology Good, Bad or Neutral?

Is technology good or bad? Is technology neutral? The opinion held by most people is that technology is neutral, and only people or the way they use technology can be good or bad.

However, most philosophers of technology reject this view, saying instead that technology can embody or "carry" normative values. But, what is the argument for value neutrality, and what is the effective reply?

This video covers ideas and arguments from the philosophy paper "Is Technology Value Neutral?" by Boaz Miller. This was one of the most downloaded papers on philpapers.org for January 2021. This video explains some features of the topic and question, like how Boaz Miller defines technology, how we can think of artifacts as embodying technology, and how to identify the values that some piece of technology expresses.
