Abstract

Today many interactive online platforms are equipped with immersive and attention-grabbing elements to increase user engagement and persuade more online presence, interaction and transactions. Excessive and obsessive use of technology combined with harm can be seen as a behavioral addiction. While technology companies started to introduce tools to mitigate addictive behavior, their principles, design process and success are questionable. Given the potential conflict between the revenue model and such tools, our work aims to define ethical requirements categories that act as a reference point for analysts and designers. We base our discussion on online gambling, which provides a clear example of addictive technology. Reno Model I–V was examined to discover main guidelines for enabling conscious online activity. As a result, we identified three main ethical goals: 1) creating an environment that supports informed choice, 2) monitoring player data to identify risk factors, and 3) introducing measures to tackle problematic online behaviour. We then refined these upper level goals into more concrete functionalities and metrics.

致瘾技术的伦理要求:以网络赌博为例
如今,许多互动在线平台都配备了沉浸式和吸引注意力的元素,以增加用户参与度,并说服更多的在线存在、互动和交易。过度和强迫性地使用科技产品加上伤害可以被视为一种行为成瘾。虽然科技公司开始引入工具来缓解上瘾行为,但它们的原理、设计过程和成功与否都值得怀疑。考虑到收入模型和这些工具之间的潜在冲突,我们的工作旨在定义道德需求类别,作为分析师和设计师的参考点。我们的讨论以在线赌博为基础,这是令人上瘾的技术的一个明显例子。研究了雷诺模型I-V,以发现实现有意识在线活动的主要指导方针。因此,我们确定了三个主要的道德目标:1)创造一个支持知情选择的环境,2)监控玩家数据以识别风险因素,3)引入解决有问题的在线行为的措施。然后,我们将这些上层目标细化为更具体的功能和指标。
