Episode 3: Considering Ethical Responsibility in Science and Technology ft. Nicholas Carr

The Received Wisdom - A podcast by Shobita Parthasarathy & Jack Stilgoe

Shobita and Jack discuss what responsibilities scientists and scientific institutions bear when research results--like DNA phenotyping or human germline gene editing--are used to morally dubious ends. And they consider whether the problem with Big Tech is actually just one of Big Business. Jack interviews tech journalist Nicholas Carr, author of numerous books including Utopia is Creepy and Other Provocations (2017).
