๐ TethicsGame Takes the Stage at Ioannina's International Symposium! ๐ฒโจ
On November 23, 2024, the Tethics project proudly participated in the International Symposium on Politics of Technologies in the Digital Age II, held at the University of Ioannina. This prestigious event focused on the ethical and existential implications of digital transformation, and the TethicsGame approach made a lasting impression!
๐ค Highlights from the Presentation:
๐จโ๐ซ Representing Tethics: Aristotle Tympas (NKUA Professor & Project Coordinator) and Iason Spilios (Postdoctoral Researcher, Galaxea Advisory) presented the session, โUnderstanding Ethical Dilemmas of Contemporary Technology: The EU Project TethicsGame Approach.โ
๐ก Key Themes Explored:
Ethics by Design: Proactively embedding ethics into technology development.
Value Sensitive Design: Prioritizing human values like equity, transparency, and privacy.
Socio-technical Dynamics: Examining the interplay between societal groups and tech design choices.
๐ฒ Why Tethics Stands Out:
The Tethics board game immerses players in real-world ethical dilemmas, encouraging critical thinking and collaboration. Players assume roles like the State, Market, Researchers, and Public, navigating challenges in AI, environmental ethics, and biomedicalization.
๐ฌ Audience Feedback:
Academics, policymakers, and technology professionals praised the game for bridging the gap between abstract ethics and tangible decision-making. Discussions highlighted its potential as a transformative educational tool in schools, universities, and professional settings.
๐ A Step Toward Responsible Innovation:
The Tethics projectโs inclusion in this symposium emphasizes its contribution to ethical technology development and education. By sparking dialogue and collaboration, Tethics fosters a more thoughtful and inclusive digital future.
