Technology Ethics
Interdisciplinary research into the ethical implications of emerging technologies
The University of Notre Dame has been a thought leader in the discussion of ethics in technology since the 1960s, combining multi-disciplinary research with an ethical lens to navigate the advancement of emerging technologies. Building upon the establishment of the Philosophic Institute for Artificial Intelligence in 1965, the University now conducts its quest for ethical technology across multiple areas. The Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab, backed by IBM's expertise and industry connections, brings ethical analysis directly to the tech development space.
Moreover, the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society focuses on the intersection of data and society, aiming to harness data and innovation for the global good. Researchers at Notre Dame focus on key areas such as big data and networks, autonomy and automation, privacy and surveillance, prediction and fairness, and persuasion and manipulation.
