One of the worst take I hear constantly is, "technology is neutral, neither good or evil, it's just a tool". The design of a tech product -- algorithms, interfaces -- modulates who it will empower and who it won't. It alters prior power dynamics.
The thousands of choices that go into a tech product define what can be done with it, who has access to it, what incentives it creates, etc. If it has an impact, then this impact has a moral direction. If it's "neutral", it probably doesn't actually do anything.
Whenever I hear "it's just a tool", I know that person has never thought about what it *means* to have an impact on the world...
Example #1: ClearviewAI
It almost always *reinforces* prior power dynamics because it is either shaped or manipulated by those in power.
would you say the same about open source software? what about software based on the bazaar model?
I hear this a lot from non technical people. Tragic.
Thats a disingenuous argument at best. technology itself can and does manifest the values of the people who created it. This great paper has a ton of examples https://www.classes.cs.uchicago.edu/archive/2020/winter/20370-1/readings/Winner.pdf … And this article on facial recognition:https://twitter.com/luke_stark/status/1116731593270398977?s=19 …
