Proactive development of emerging technology in a socially responsible manner: Data-driven problem solving process using latent semantic analysis

Abstract This article offers a quantitative method of realizing the responsible development of emerging technologies via text analysis of future-oriented web data and scientific publication data. Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is applied to group key terms based on their contextual similarity. It overlooks what people have in mind regarding social disruptions of new technologies and further provides technical directions of how pertinent human values could be translated into their design in order to prevent the ramifications from occurring. Such a clear-cut methodology may allow the developers of emerging technologies to consider social concerns and human norms alongside more typical engineering ideals.
