Abstract

PurposeWith the growth and profound influence of technology on our life, it is important to address the ethical issues inherent to the development and deployment of technology. Researchers and practitioners submit the need to inspect: how technology and ethics interact, how ethical principles regulate technology and what could be the probable future course of action to execute techno-ethical practices in a socio-technical discourse effectively. To address the thoughts related to techno-ethics, the authors of the present study conducted exploratory research to understand the trend and relevance of technology ethics since its inception.Design/methodology/approachThe study collected over 679 documents for the period 1990–2022 from the Scopus database. A quantitative approach of bibliometric analysis was conducted to study the pattern of authorship, publications, citations, prominent journals and contributors in the subject area. VOS viewer software was utilized to visualize and map academic performance in techno-ethics.FindingsThe findings revealed that the concept of techno-ethics is an emerging field and requires more investigation to harness its relevance with everchanging technology development. The data revealed substantial growth in the field of techno-ethics in humanities, social science and management domain in the last two decades. Also, most of the prominent cited references and documents in the database tend to cover the theme of Artificial Intelligence, Big data, computer ethics, morality, decision-making, IT ethics, human rights, responsibility and privacy.Originality/valueThe article provides a comprehensive overview of scientific production and main research trends in techno-ethics until 2022. The study is a pioneer in expanding the academic productivity and performance of embedding ethics in technology.
技术伦理的趋势和未来:三十年的文献计量学分析
随着技术的发展和对我们生活的深刻影响,解决技术发展和应用所固有的伦理问题非常重要。研究人员和实践者提出需要检查:技术和伦理是如何相互作用的,伦理原则是如何规范技术的,以及在社会技术话语中有效地执行技术伦理实践的可能的未来行动方针是什么。为了解决技术伦理的相关思想,本研究的作者进行了探索性研究,以了解技术伦理自成立以来的趋势和相关性。设计/方法/方法本研究从Scopus数据库中收集了1990-2022年期间的679多份文件。采用文献计量分析的定量方法,研究了该学科领域的作者、出版物、引文、知名期刊和贡献者的模式。利用VOS观察软件对技术伦理学科的学习成绩进行可视化和制图。研究结果显示,技术伦理的概念是一个新兴领域,需要更多的调查,以利用其与不断变化的技术发展的相关性。数据显示,近二十年来,人文、社会科学和管理领域的技术伦理领域出现了大幅增长。此外,数据库中大多数突出的被引参考文献和文档往往涵盖人工智能、大数据、计算机伦理、道德、决策、IT伦理、人权、责任和隐私等主题。本文全面概述了到2022年科技伦理的科学生产和主要研究趋势。该研究是扩大伦理嵌入技术的学术生产力和绩效的先驱。
