ETHICS-2025 Plenary 3: Thoughtful Acceleration of Technology Transition: ETHICS-2025 Plenary Session, Sunday, June 8 2025, 8:30 – 10:00 AM CDT.

In today's dynamic world, where technology impacts society in so many complex ways, understanding the societal impacts of those technologies seems increasingly important. Embedding Ethical, Legal and Societal Implications (ELSI) considerations into the development of emerging technologies can accelerate thoughtful transition of those technologies into real world use. This talk will discuss the benefits and costs of making ELSI processes an integral part of new technology development, as well as share the challenges and opportunities associated with instilling an ELSI culture across an entire science and technology organization.
