The relationship between values and technology
Understanding the role of values in technology is essential to this mission. Values shape how technologies are conceived, designed, and adopted, influencing their societal impact. This text explores the complex relationship between values and technology, examining how social, cultural, economic, and ethical considerations affect innovation. It provides a structured perspective on how values enter technology and, in turn, how technology reshapes societal values. These reflections align with the project’s commitment to fostering responsible innovation in 6G development.
