Rethinking Informed Consent in the Big Data Age
"In the "big data age", providing informed consent online has never been more challenging. Countless companies collect and share our personal data through devices, apps, and websites, fuelling a growing data economy and the emergence of surveillance capitalism. Few of us have the time to read the associated privacy policies and terms and conditions, and thus are often unaware of how our personal data are being used. This is a problem, as in the last few years, large tech companies have abused our personal data. As privacy self-management, through the mechanism of providing online consent, has become increasingly difficult, some have argued that surveillance capitalism, and the data economy m...

A Philosophical Case for Ecological Pessimism
Our current ecological crisis—featuring problems such as climate change, ocean acidification, and mass extinction—raises various moral issues, including a high probability of injustice and massive harm. This book defends a position called ecological pessimism, an attitude whose core feature is the belief that ecological catastrophe is likely to occur in the future. The author’s defense of ecological pessimism has two components. First, he makes the case that the relevant ecological facts about our world make ecological pessimism a reasonable, and indeed plausible, expectation. Second, he argues that ecological pessimism is morally and practically appropriate. Ecological pessimism is a ...
New Perspectives on Transparency and Self-Knowledge
It is natural to think that self-knowledge is gained through introspection, whereby we somehow peer inward and detect our mental states. However, so-called transparency theories emphasize our capacity to peer outward at the world, hence beyond our minds, in the pursuit of self-knowledge. For all their popularity in recent decades, transparency theories have also met with myriad challenges. This volume presents new perspectives on transparency-theoretic approaches to self-knowledge. It addresses many under-explored dimensions of transparency theories and considers their wider implications for epistemology, philosophy of mind, and psychology. Some chapters in this volume aim to deepen our unde...
The Weirdness of the World
How all philosophical explanations of human consciousness and the fundamental structure of the cosmos are bizarre—and why that’s a good thing Do we live inside a simulated reality or a pocket universe embedded in a larger structure about which we know virtually nothing? Is consciousness a purely physical matter, or might it require something extra, something nonphysical? According to the philosopher Eric Schwitzgebel, it’s hard to say. In The Weirdness of the World, Schwitzgebel argues that the answers to these fundamental questions lie beyond our powers of comprehension. We can be certain only that the truth—whatever it is—is weird. Philosophy, he proposes, can aim to open—to re...
Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics
"The Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics is a lively and authoritative guide to ethical issues related to digital technologies, with a special emphasis on AI. Philosophers with a wide range of expertise cover thirty-seven topics: from the right to have access to internet, to trolling and online shaming, speech on social media, fake news, sex robots and dating online, persuasive technology, value alignment, algorithmic bias, predictive policing, price discrimination online, medical AI, privacy and surveillance, automating democracy, the future of work, and AI and existential risk, among others. Each chapter gives a rigorous map of the ethical terrain, engaging critically with the most notable work in the area, and pointing directions for future research"--
Person, Thing, Robot
Why robots defy our existing moral and legal categories and how to revolutionize the way we think about them. Robots are a curious sort of thing. On the one hand, they are technological artifacts—and thus, things. On the other hand, they seem to have social presence, because they talk and interact with us, and simulate the capabilities commonly associated with personhood. In Person, Thing, Robot, David J. Gunkel sets out to answer the vexing question: What exactly is a robot? Rather than try to fit robots into the existing categories by way of arguing for either their reification or personification, however, Gunkel argues for a revolutionary reformulation of the entire system, developing a...
Regulierung von Systemen Künstlicher Intelligenz durch die DSGVO
Ist die DSGVO ein technikneutrales Regelwerk aus einer technisch vergangenen Zeit oder ein sinnvolles Instrument zur Regulierung der Kunstlichen Intelligenz? Sabine Schaufler geht dieser Frage nach und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die DSGVO zumindest teilweise gute Losungen anbietet. Sie untersucht im Einzelnen den Rechtmassigkeits-, Zweckmassigkeits- und Transparenzgrundsatz. Dabei bleibt es nicht bei einer analytischen Kritik der datenschutzrechtlichen Bestimmungen, sondern es werden auch Reformpotentiale der DSGVO de lege lata und de lege ferenda ausgewertet. Die Autorin zeigt schliesslich Grenzen einer datenschutzrechtlichen Regulierung der Kunstlichen Intelligenz auf und verweist damit auf den Raum fur Regulierungsvorhaben jenseits der DSGVO wie das europaische "KI-Gesetz". Gegenstand der Arbeit sind personalisierte Systeme Kunstlicher Intelligenz (autonome Systeme), die auf Einzelpersonen angepasste Dienste anbieten oder automatisierte Entscheidungen uber Einzelpersonen treffen.
