In the editorial for our Topical Collection ‘Innovation under Fire: The Rise of Ethics in Tech’, Kasper Schiølin and I reflect on the state of the art of research on and critique of ‘Tech Ethics’. The collection is fully open access and available here!

Together with Tess Doezema, we’ve presented a working paper on the emergence of new forms of rights in environmental and digital governance at the 2024 meeting of the Science and Democracy Network at ETH Zurich.

I’ve presented a working paper on differences in the governance of neurotechnology across the US and the EU at a workshop on “Reconfiguring Health and Illness at the Brain-Computer Interface” at the Danish Technical University in Kopenhagen.

I’ve presented a working paper on shifting boundaries between humans, nature and technology at a workshop on constitutionalism in digital and environmental transformation at ETH Zurich.

In our editorial for The New Atlantis, Tess Doezema and I argue against law-lag narratives in public debates about AI and for greater attention towards the role of public institutions in fuelling imperatives to innovate in AI and beyond.

In a new paper for the Journal of Responsible Innovation, we diagnose the emergence of a new spirit of technoscience in policy-making which places society, its needs and values at the center of governance considerations, design and development - with important implications for modes of critique in the social sciences.

I’ve been invited to open the seminar discussion of the Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience at Columbia University on current experiments in the governance of innovative neurotechnologies.

In a short piece for the Danish STS journal Encounters, Kasper Schiœlin and I follow the making of AI Ethics in the European Union and how attempts at settling common ethical norms for AI reflect current aspirations of political unification in Europe.
