Critical technical practice
In today's world, Critical technical practice has become a topic of great relevance and interest to people of all ages and backgrounds. Its impact has been felt in different aspects of society, from the personal to the global level, generating debates, reflections and significant changes in various areas. As we move forward into the 21st century, Critical technical practice continues to be a topic that awakens emotions, challenges and opportunities, forcing us to rethink our actions and decisions. In this article, we will explore different perspectives and dimensions of Critical technical practice, analyzing its evolution, its impact and possible implications for the future.
Critical technical practice is a critical theory based approach towards technological design proposed by Phil Agre[1] where critical and cultural theories are brought to bear in the work of designers and engineers. One of the goals of critical technical practice is to increase awareness and critical reflection on the hidden assumptions, ideologies and values underlying technology design. It was developed by Agre in response to a perceived lack in Artificial intelligence research in the late 20th century, and continues to influence critical AI in 2021.[2]
