  • The non-neutrality of technological design renders technologies as mediators of our relation to others and the world, while people and their sociocultural setting retain an active role in co-producing these mediations, including their moral dimension.

    “The non-neutrality of technological design renders technologies as mediators of our relation to others and the world, while retaining the active role of people and their sociocultural setting in co-producing these mediations (Ihde 1990), including their moral dimension (Verbeek 2011).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
