poliTE @ Philosophy of Human-Technology Relations 2020 in Twente

The poliTEam contributed its work and other presentations to the four-day virtual conference on the Philosophy of Human-Technology Relations. The conference organized by Peter-Paul Verbeek at the DesignLab of the University of Twente explores the relations between humans and technologies at the intersection of philosophy, design, ethics, art, and engineering.

Bruno Gransche spoke about the use of metaphors in relation to technology, about what it means when you say about machines that they “care” about people. Sebastian Nähr-Wagener presented our project and spoke about dimensions of social adequacy in human-human and human-machine interactions. Jacqueline Bellon presented the concepts of the philosopher and psychologist Gilbert Simondon and gave examples of adversarial attacks in a second lecture in order to sketch how the perception of humans and machines differ from one another.
