In both lectures, Tasioulas addresses the fact that scientists and others tend to see ethics as opposed to their interests.
This is something that I have discussed a few times too, that ethics are often seen as something pesky that gets in the way of science while ethics considerations actually support science and are an integral part of it. Ethics should not be seen as an afterthought, as a box on a checklist, but as something that has the ability to enhance science and increase its value.
Second Van Hasselt lecture, Delft University of Technology, 2016: Big data and human rights
The actual lecture starts at 21:45.
Who bears the duties? 36:00
(This is about the distinction between legal rights and moral rights or what I call human rights versus humans’ rights. Do only states bear duties or also corporations and each and all of us?)
