We are now at the beginning of a new era of technological innovation, making whole new fields possible, including artificial intelligence, robotics, synthetic biology, nanomedicine, next-generation genomics, neurotechnology and geo-engineering. These are socially disruptive technologies (SDTs) that have the potential to radically alter everyday life, cultural practices and social and economic institutions. Our aim is to reorient the field of ethics of technology by taking up the challenge that SDTs pose to our core concepts.
