Designing Organizations to Create Ethical Designs

Author

  • Williams, Logan D. A.

Abstract

Modern industry organizations believe they can create designs that solve problems for people. At one level, that is the bias of privilege and a technocratic outlook. But the bias is deeply embedded in the incentive structure: profits are highest if you externalize the cost of preventing environmental and social harms. Efforts to change perspective can be the first step, but we need to change how we design our organizations -- empowering our technosocial imagination to find strategies that link financial success, changes in technical practice, and harm prevention. These include alternative organizational legal structures, standards, and certifications that support and emphasize a social mission. (Note: This is supplement for the book Because Technology Discriminates: Anti-Racist Counter-Expertise https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-27868-6).
