What does ‘good’ look like in a technosociety?
A summary of the fifth panel on the Ethics & Society stage at CogX 2020 - Day 1
Our fifth panel asking: what is ‘good’, who is responsible for ‘good’, and how can we embed ‘good’ into structures and processes to make technology work for people and society?
