About This Collection

Generally innovation in the context of sustainability focuses on the conversations around the role of innovation by business leaders who advocate the development of sound business models to encourage investment in new products and services. Many products, but not all, are focused on renewable energy, another EarthSayers.tv Special Collection.

This collection addresses other emerging markets in diverse industries ranging from agriculture to information technology to biotechnology as well as beauty and wellness. Sustainability calls on us to consider innovation more broadly to include not just the technical, but the social and environmental as well.  Innovation may be found in conversations around ethical sourcing, social innovation, and in the role of the social entrepreneur.

All Things Have Standing: 4.7 -- Future Stories -- Machine Virtue
December 06, 2022

Prof. Shannon Vallor, Baillie Gifford Chair in AI Ethics, explores whether machines can possess virtue for harmonious human-AI coexistence. She examines virtue's meaning for AI, its link to trustworthiness, and the role of value alignment, concluding with ethical and design challenges.

The course "All Things Have Standing," from Carnegie Council and Fighter Steel Education, draws inspiration from the "Spark Hunter" audio drama's idea that all things have ethical standing. It explores AI and environmental ethics, their psychology, philosophy, and global challenges.
