Ethics Canvas
The Ethics Canvas has been developed to encourage educators, entrepreneurs, engineers and designers to engage with ethics in their research and innovation projects. Research and innovation foster great benefits for society, but also raise important ethical concerns.
According to the ethics canvas site the big data revolution raises important privacy concerns. Progress in automation such as self-driving cars raises responsibility issues. Sharing platforms trigger social conflicts and precarious workers protesting on the streets. These and other concerns need to be dealt with, but cannot be dealt with by ethicists alone. Identifying and solving ethical concerns needs a collaborative effort, with people from different disciplines and in different professional roles working together.The Ethics Canvas responds to this need, by providing an easy to use collaborative tool that assists in the identification, analysis and solving of ethical implications in research and innovation projects. It is both suitable for offline use, as a paper canvas, and for online use, as an online collaborative tool.
A team of researchers in the ADAPT Centre has developed the Ethics Canvas. It is the result of a truly multidisciplinary effort, pulling together expertise from the areas of ethics, computer science and business development
