E-tika podcast – Parenthood in Digital Age

For example, thanks to artificial intelligence systems, we are able to make faster, more accurate and more qualified decisions. On the other hand, by doing so, they can reveal and exploit various human vulnerabilities or weaken our ability to make independent decisions. This is doubly true for vulnerable groups such as children and young people.

Digital and information technologies improve and simplify our lives. But they also raise new societal issues and challenges. We should discriminate between the solutions that are technically possible and that are morally good. Sometimes we release technology and only then we discover its effects on people and society. But that may be too late. In the E-tika podcast, we discuss with our guests the social and ethical dimensions of digital technologies.

The E-tika podcast is produced by the multimedia center for contemporary culture, Nástupište 1-12, in cooperation with the Kempelen Institute of Intelligent Technologies. The project was supported by public funds by the “Fond na podporu umenia” fund.
