随着信息系统改变我们的世界，计算机科学家设计了影响这些技术对象的使用和影响的启示。本文描述了设计实践如何影响新兴技术中体现的社会价值，并探讨了设计实践如何鼓励道德反思和行动。这篇文章介绍了一个实验室的民族志，该实验室为移动的手机设计了跟踪用户位置、习惯和行为的软件。这项技术工作提出了一些道德挑战，特别是围绕数据使用和监督问题。人种志表明，实验室内的特定活动可以帮助工程师就社会价值观达成一致，这对设计很重要。它将这些活动描述为价值杠杆：开启关于社会价值观的新对话并鼓励围绕这些价值观达成共识作为设计标准的实践。实验室领导者和倡导者可以启用并加强这些杠杆，以鼓励道德反思和行动作为设计实践的一个明确组成部分。
As information systems transform our world, computer scientists design affordances that influence the uses and impacts of these technological objects. This article describes how the practices of design affect the social values materialized in emerging technologies, and explores how design practices can encourage ethical reflection and action. The article presents an ethnography of a laboratory that engineered software for mobile phones to track users’ locations, habits, and behaviors. This technical work raised a number of ethical challenges, particularly around questions of data use and surveillance. The ethnography suggests that particular activities within laboratories can help engineers agree on social values as important to design. It characterizes these activities as values levers: practices that open new conversations about social values and encourage consensus around those values as design criteria. Laboratory leaders and advocates can enable and strengthen these levers to encourage ethical reflection and action as an explicit part of design practice.
