Value Sensi+ve Design Part 2
Jeroen van den Hoven
Langdon Winner
“Do Artifacts have Politics?”
Robert Moses (1888-‐1981)
Science and Technology Studies (STS research) in the eigh+es
• New York example not an exception
• Numerous case studies showing social and political biases could be inscribed in technical artifacts, systems and infrastructures
• Check out studies Geoff Bowker, Susan Leigh Barrr or Lucy Suchman
Eigh+es: specialized areas of design and engineering start to use VSD
IT privacy Improving safety
Winograd: ‘founder IT and VSD’
Baty Friedman: social and moral dimension of design
VSD: incorpora+ng human and moral values into design of technology VSD: • Primarily concerned with values that center on human wellbeing,
human dignity, jus<ce, welfare, and human rights • Advance human values; a way of doing ethics that aims at making
moral values part of technological design, research and development
• Connects the people who design systems and interfaces with the people who think about and understand the values of the stakeholders who are affected by the systems.
VSD defini+ons
• Friedman: Ul<mately, VSD requires that we broaden the goals and criteria for judging the quality of technological systems to include those that advance human values.”
• van den Hoven: A way of doing ethics that aims at making moral values part of technological design, research and development”.
VSD methodological structure
• Integra<ve and itera<ve methodology • Conceptual, empirical, and technical inves<ga<ons
VSD methodological structure
itera<vely, mutually informing and being informed
Technical
Conceptual
Empirical
VSD versus RI
• Values and moral concerns of all concerned need to be articulated when they can still make a difference to design
• They need to be formulated in such a way that they can inform the design
• Designs and artifacts need to be evaluated in terms of the values and moral concerns.
Value Sensi+ve Design versus Responsible Innova+on:
VSD is relevant to all innovation and design of new technology and technological artifacts
