Today, new ethical questions are emerging at an exponential rate. And too often, new public policies, technologies, and products are developed, deployed, and co-opted with haste by actors who view ethics as an encumbrance rather than a requisite.
In response, Carnegie Council is pleased to announce the launch of the Carnegie Ethics Accelerator—a new kind of incubator designed to empower ethics in the face of swiftly evolving challenges in technology and public policies.
With generous support from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, the inaugural series of Ethics Accelerators will take place over the next 12 months in New York City and focus on critical questions at the intersection of ethics and emerging technology. Led by Carnegie Council Senior Fellow Arthur Holland Michel, the first Accelerator will examine ethical questions regarding the adoption of software tools for correlating and fusing surveillance data from a growing web of sources.
