Human values: the gap between academia and industry
Heiko Hornung, Lara S. G. Piccolo, Alessandro Arpetti · Human Factors in Computing Systems · 2014
Human Values as an Ethics-related concept in HCI has been a research topic for more than 15 years. Although many open research questions remain and should be pursued, there already exists a rich body of work in scientific literature. Yet, many contemporary examples show that human values seem to only play a secondary role in systems design, even of systems with great social impact. In this position paper, we argue that, additionally to creating, expanding, and evaluating methods and techniques, we need to go beyond the research environment and promote this approach among industry practitioners.
