VIRI partners offer guest lecture to ASU graduate course on RI
VIRI partners Phil Macnaghten (University of Durham, UK) and Marko Monteiro (UNICAMP, Brazil) recently joined Ira Bennett's graduate-level Responsible Research and Innovation class by video. Macnaghten, who is currently on leave at UNICAMP from Durham, spoke about his work with Jack Stilgoe (UCL, UK) and Richard Owen (University of Exeter, UK) in devising a framework for responsible innovation and its application in the evaluation of a proposed geoengineering experiment. Monteiro spoke about the political history of research and innovation in Brazil as a context for discussing contemporary issues of responsible innovation there. Both speakers will be attending a panel on "Responsible Innovation in the Global Context" that VIRI director Dave Guston has organized for the upcoming annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in February, 2014, in Chicago.

CNS-ASU
Dr. Sally Randles from the University of Manchester invited audience members at her talk at CNS-ASU to think about what responsible innovation means to them, and explore how that compares to the results of her own research on the topic. The talk offered some building blocks for an institutionalist sociology of responsible innovation. Video of the lecture is forthcoming.

According to The Jetsons, we should expect robots to clean our houses and do other tasks that elites have looked down upon as “unskilled.” But anyone who has seen a CEO on Undercover Boss fumble with the minimum wage jobs normally performed by their underlings knows that there is no such thing as "unskilled" labor. And the gap between humans and current Artificial Intellegence is vastly greater than the differences between humans.
