AI and Technology Assessment

Abstract

As an approach to deliberate public agenda or support decision-making by anticipating and analyzing societal impacts of technology, technology assessment (TA) has a potential to construct technology and society in a co-evolutionary way. Further, the recent approach to TA can develop technology, its institutionalization and these network-based intelligence. This implies that AI can be expected as not just a kind of technology to be addressed by TA but also a prospective technology for the intelligence.
