Applying Ethics in a Complex Piloting Context

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: With the increasing culture of applying piloting as part of technology innovation, the need for understanding its societal implications is becoming more crucial. In this paper, we introduce a case in point - a Horizon Europe funded project with social innovation and technology-based piloting at its core - and explore its ethical dimensions. Drawing on a mixed-method approach, we argue that a promising avenue for refining our analysis on ethics would benefit from analyzing the context as a “bundle of logics”. With the aim of understanding better the power relations, tensions and agencies pivotal to negotiating and embedding ethics across processes, we consider utilizing a framework of “design logics” to the data.
