Future Ethics
summary
Technology actively shapes outcomes not just tools: a city charging energy-allocation prototype uses RFID readers and physical ID cards to assign priority and reveals how algorithms can encode social status; a Prius-style energy monitor makes invisible flows visible and changed driver behavior; design choices like forcing users to handwrite “I agree” increase informed consent; concrete techniques include RFID priority cards, persona non-grata exercises, designated dissenters, and algorithmic audits (fairness forensics) to find bias.
