Designing for values – like well-being, justice and transparency – has been gaining increasing popularity in the past decades. But here is a fundamental challenge: although values are relatively stable, they do sometimes change over time. What types of value change exist, and how can engineers and designers deal with them? These are the main questions that we address in a white paper.

We invite you to a one-day workshop to get familiarized with ValueMonitor. ValueMonitor is an easy-to-use tool for empirical investigations of values and value change in text corpora (e.g., scientific articles, newspaper articles). It will take place on March 10th, 2023, from 9.30 to 16.30, in Delft. The number of places for the workshop is limited to ensure that we can help you effectively with the usage of the tool. Registration closes on January 20th and can be done by sending an email to ValueMonitor@valuechange.eu.

During the Machines of Change: Robots, AI and Value Change workshop, to be held from 1-3 February 2022 at Delft University of Technology, we will explore how the deployment of AI and robots leads to value change and how we can study value change, as a phenomenon, via these technologies. You can now register if you are interested in participating. Key note speakers are Arianna Betti, John Danaher and Bertram F. Malle. The full program for this workshop, with all abstracts of the papers presented, is now also available.
