This is crucial, because nowadays the drive for autonomous technology spans from workplaces to personal lives, promising breakthroughs in safety, healthcare, and daily conveniences. But this raises a crucial question: What happens to human autonomy? Historically seen as a tool to enhance our freedom, today’s technology risks undermining human control and agency.

 How can we then enhance our human autonomy, through technological design? This event serves as a stepping stone to bring these discussions forward. Register now since there are only limited spots available!

Organizing party: Delft Design for Values Institute, part of TU Delft
