Open philosophy for the technological Future

Present and future technological changes open huge ethical dilemmas which affect us all. If philosophers publish behind paywalls, and technological developments remain hidden behind patents, the public are denied the possibility to participate in discussions that affect our future. This talk outlines the need for an open, public forum to discuss the philosophical and ethical issues raised by technological developments, and suggests practical measures to start this open discussion in Belgium.
