Doel vak
The aim of this course is to explore various ways to regulate and governsocietal changes caused by new technological developments. After this
course the student knows and understands the various regulatory and
governance instruments, such as laws, regulation via technology,
self-regulation, standardisation, and how and when to apply these to new
technologies, including so-called disruptive technologies like Ueber,
whole genome sequencing, Airbnb, and block chain technology.
Inhoud vak
This introductory course of the Minor Technology, Law and Ethics offersan introduction into and an overview of the ways technology can or
should be regulated. Important general concepts to be discussed are the
economy (market powers), the law (regulation and case law), social
conventions and ethics, and the architecture (e.g. the software).
Basically three angles can be used to approach a technological
development:
1. The Possible: what is technically feasible? (Technology)
2. The Desirable: do we like it, do we want it? (Ethics)
3. The Permissible: do we allow it? do we permit it? (Law)
For all emerging technologies we have to think about these three
questions. The answers can roughly be categorized as:
White: It is possible, desirable, and permissible.
Grey: It is possible and permissible, but desirable?
Black: It is impossible, or possible but not permissible.
We will analyze different kinds of emerging technologies, and discuss in
what categories we believe they belong (white/grey/black).
