Накратко на български

Връзката между хората и автоматизираните системи се анализира чрез философски подход, който разглежда ролята на оператора при работата на машините. Това помага за по-доброто разбиране на бъдещето на труда и взаимодействието между човешкото действие и технологиите.

How Artifacts Acquire Agency: Towards a Philosophy of Automation

The primary objective of this project was to develop a new philosophical approach to the study of automation which recognises the essential role played by human operators. This objective was intended to address a bias within existing philosophy of technology which overlooked the necessary role play by human operators in the operation of technologies promoted as forms of automation and by doing so open up new avenues for research on the philosophical study of automation. This project is thereby intended to increase our understanding of the relationship between human action and automating technologies in order to enable us to approach discussions surrounding automation and the future of work in a more effective and informed manner. The secondary objective of this project was to establish the ER as a leading voice in the philosophy of technology with a view towards enabling him to achieve his long-term goal of a permanent position within philosophy.

Цел на проекта

The proposed project brings together the applicant, a promising early career researcher (Mark Thomas Young) with a prolific and internationally renowned supervisor (Mark Coeckelbergh), hosted by one of the foremost centers for the philosophy of technology in Europe (University of Vienna). The primary objective is to develop a new philosophical approach to the study of automation that challenges dominant conceptions of automation as technologies that operate without human involvement by highlighting the wide variety of ongoing skillful practices upon which they depend. Drawing on perspectives from feminist studies of technology, the project will (1) identify the different forms of human agency upon which automating technologies depend, (2) explore the processes by which they come to be hidden from view and finally (3) examine the ethical concerns surrounding their erasure. In addition to making a substantial contribution to existing literature on automation in the philosophy of technology, the theoretical approach this project develops will also be useful for historical and sociological studies of technology alongside designers interested in the social impacts of automating technologies. By proposing a novel conception of automation which is useful across disciplines, this research addresses the secondary objective of this project; to establish the project manager as a leading voice in the philosophy of technology and to provide him training and experience that will enable him to attain his long-term career goal of a permanent position in philosophy. In addition to disseminating research results through the production of articles, a journal special issue and the organization of academic events on the theme of automation, this project will also utilize forms of public outreach which are intended to raise public awareness of the human agency underlying automation and the ethical concerns associated with its erasure.
