Background of Societal Dimensions of Emerging Technologies; Introduction to Drones and Connected Vehicles
Slides | Lecture Video
Abstract: This lecture provides an introduction to ELSI (ethical, legal, and societal implications) of emerging technologies, with an emphasis on four main dimensions: privacy, security in the sense of vulnerability to criminal and terrorist events, health and environment, and equity (social inequality and fairness). These dimensions can include benefits as well as risks. It outlines the structure of research under the PIRE grant from this perspective, with four ELSI dimensions in the U.S. and four in the E.U. across three technology areas (drones, connected vehicles, and transactive energy). Hess then discusses the four ELSI dimensions from a U.S. perspective for traffic management of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and for connected vehicles.
Outline:
- Transactive Energy
- Connected Vehicles
- UAVs
Please see the transactive energy unit for the slides, lecture video, and bibliography.
