Shaping the future is preceded by imaginations of a desired future. This applies in particular to imaginations in an ethical way. In technology development, future imaginations are traditionally represented through scenarios. Our paper builds on scenario development but supplements it with metaethics, a sub-discipline of ethics dealing with the moral connotations of language, alongside stakeholder theory. Our research design in favor of a good future accounted for various aspects of understanding the good (e.g., functional vs. moral) and different perspectives on the good (from various stakeholders). The interdisciplinary scientific foundations are supplemented in exemplary application with experts from computer science, information systems, ethics, psychology, education, and industry partners. We contribute a transdisciplinary perspective, viewing the future as a task to be shaped and making this tangible in technology development. We provide scientific and methodological guidance to developers, designers, and decision-makers to include ethical considerations in software development.

摘要

Shaping the future is preceded by imaginations of a desired future. This applies in particular to imaginations in an ethical way. In technology development, future imaginations are traditionally represented through scenarios. Our paper builds on scenario development but supplements it with metaethics, a sub-discipline of ethics dealing with the moral connotations of language, alongside stakeholder theory. Our research design in favor of a good future accounted for various aspects of understanding the good (e.g., functional vs. moral) and different perspectives on the good (from various stakeholders). The interdisciplinary scientific foundations are supplemented in exemplary application with experts from computer science, information systems, ethics, psychology, education, and industry partners. We contribute a transdisciplinary perspective, viewing the future as a task to be shaped and making this tangible in technology development. We provide scientific and methodological guidance to developers, designers, and decision-makers to include ethical considerations in software development.
