This paper has two aims, one theoretical and one practical. On a theoretical level, the goal is to highlight the criticalities and the ultimate impossibility to achieve public value by/through digital technologies, based on the current regulatory framework of the European Union’s (EU) digital strategy. On a practical level, the goal is to redress such criticalities by advancing a complementary practice to the EU’s normative framework, which takes the form of a “problem-opening” transdisciplinary method for questioning, exposing, and redressing the effects of digital technologies’ use in complex scenarios. The method, discussed and exemplified in the paper, was tested from 2021 to 2024 at the Delft University of Technology in a course titled “Ethics for the Data-driven City”.

On the Current (Im) possibility of Achieving Public Value Through the EU’s Digital Strategy: An Ethics Method to Seek a “Collectual” Equilibrium

摘要

This paper has two aims, one theoretical and one practical. On a theoretical level, the goal is to highlight the criticalities and the ultimate impossibility to achieve public value by/through digital technologies, based on the current regulatory framework of the European Union’s (EU) digital strategy. On a practical level, the goal is to redress such criticalities by advancing a complementary practice to the EU’s normative framework, which takes the form of a “problem-opening” transdisciplinary method for questioning, exposing, and redressing the effects of digital technologies’ use in complex scenarios. The method, discussed and exemplified in the paper, was tested from 2021 to 2024 at the Delft University of Technology in a course titled “Ethics for the Data-driven City”.
