Ethics of Virtual Reality
In this book, Michael Grabowski draws on established theories of ethics to consider critical questions surrounding the growing adoption of virtual reality (VR) technologies. These questions include who should control and have access to VR, its impact on privacy, its potential for misrepresentation and bias, and how to provide a platform for free expression while mitigating harassment and abuse. Grabowski examines use cases of other digital technologies, including social media and artificial intelligence, to examine who is helped and harmed by the widespread implementation of VR and how it might transform existing institutions, social relationships, and communication. Finally, Grabowski forecasts the possible futures of VR and what limits, if any, should be placed on representing the real world or imagining new ones. Scholars of media studies, technology studies, communication, and ethics will find this book of particular interest.

Vivere il metaverso
Il Metaverso è già realtà. Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple stanno investendo e continueranno a farlo, Airbnb già immagina di affittare case in questa mixed reality. Bloomberg calcola che nel 2024 il giro d’affari legato al metaverso salirà a 800 miliardi di dollari e che entro fine decennio si raggiungerà un miliardo di utenti. Il suo sviluppo procede a ritmi esponenziali ed è arrivato il momento di fermarsi a pensare, di farsi delle domande. Vivere il metaverso è una guida che cerca di fare chiarezza sul futuro della tecnologia e un invito a riflettere su questa trasformazione radicale: come cambieranno famiglia, lavoro, istruzione, cultura? Come gestiremo gli aspetti normativi ed etici? Chi usufruirà dei vantaggi? E quali sono i modi per vivere al meglio questa realtà? Perché l’avvento del Metaverso è l’opportunità di ripensare la nostra realtà imparando dagli errori del passato. E la sfida più grande che ci attende in questa transizione epocale è quella di non perdere l’umanità e di tenere alta l’attenzione sulle tematiche del benessere, dell’inclusione e della sostenibilità.
