Human-Faced Technology: A Pathway to Ethical and Humane Innovation

Author(s)	Chinmayee Pradhan

Abstract	The speed at which science and technology are developing offers both previously unheard-of possibilities and significant moral dilemmas. Technology has long been hailed as a force for human advancement, but it also carries the potential of exploitation, inequality, and alienation. According to this article, frameworks that put human dignity, fairness, inclusion, and sustainability first should be incorporated into the core of technology development. The paper offers a thorough road map for rethinking innovation by examining challenges to technological determinism, investigating ethics-by-design, re-examining ideas of appropriate and intermediate technology, and promoting digital humanism and compassionate computing. Thus, it highlights the need for technology to develop as a human-centered, co-created practice focused on everyone's well-being rather than continuing to be an abstract engine of efficiency and profit.
