In this workshop we will discuss challenges (limitations and opportunities) and ethical dilemmas posed by technologies of prospection.

Particular emphasis will be placed on exploring how technologies of prospection (could) mediate, shape and/or disrupt our capacities (and lack thereof) to engage with the future. The transformative and disruptive nature of these technologies raises timely questions about their potential social and ethical issues, as well as the appropriate methods and strategies for addressing them.

This topic can be of relevance to all different lines and tracks in ESDiT. Examples vary from climate modeling to health apps to artistic explorations of imagined futures.

We will take notes and share a summary with main findings, ideas, and insights with everyone in ESDiT. People who did not attend are welcome to join potential initiatives that follow from the workshop.
