Judgement, Responsibility and Justice in the Digital Age

Abstract

Technological progress has led to many radical changes in the way in which we learn, communicate and work. It would not be an exaggeration to see these changes as part of a broader modification of the way in which we understand our own humanity. In this context, our conception of justice is also undergoing a transformation under the pressure of a number of factors related to developments in technology, from LLMs, big data and increase in predictive power. Changes in our conception of justice may affect our views of standard preconditions of justice - from the fundamental capacity to judge, to the ability to know and predict, as well as the moral requirements of responsibility and agency. Papers in this panel focus both on such preconditions and on their implications for currently urgent issues of moral concern. Presentations will critically examine their topics from the perspective of various potential answers that Kant's works offer as promising approaches: from his account of judgement and responsibility, to his account of equal opportunity, imputability and privacy.
