“…Segundo Meacham (2017), na verdade, cada ser humano carrega consigo elementos de suma importância que irão contribuir ou não para sua adaptação aos meios de trabalho, oferecidos por cada organização (aspectos culturais, sociais e tecnológicos). E, para que os aspectos antropotecnológicos de cada profissão ou trabalho possam ser observados, necessita que haja uma visão considerável sobre tais elementos, e como cada um reage a estímulos no exercício de sua função.…”

Anthropotechnology studies the adaptation of the individual to the production process, emphasizing the complexity of the relationship between man, machine and technology, relating it to the well-being of the human being. This work aims to study how the anthropotechnological aspects are inserted in the Mutual Assistance Plan (PAM), compared to the North American Disaster Mutual Assistance (DMA), which works similar to the Brazilian project. WFP is a non-profit institution that seeks to establish and maintain interpersonal relationships and member interaction with federal, state, and municipal authorities responsible for responding to emergencies. The present study has as specific objectives: to identify the characteristics of anthropotechnology and the transfer of knowledge and technology (TCT), to describe the origin of the MAP, to establish a comparison between the MAP and the MAP and to look for the anthropotechnological evidences in the MAP. To reach these objectives, an exploratory bibliographical research was carried out, which adopted the strategy of systematic literature review. For the field research, data were collected from the PAM of Brazil and the State of Paraná, aiming to observe its origin, its evolutionary process and its main results. In the final field research, the case of PAM, in Ponta Grossa - PR, was studied in more detail. And the results show that anthropotechnology is linked to all the activities of WFP, be it in the industrial work environment, the training offered to employees, in interpersonal relationships, in the transfer of knowledge and technology in the actions of WFP, with partner companies and other participants.

“…The broadening and greater inclusivity of these descriptive and normative debates to consider a broad range of cognitive artefacts as enhancement technologies have been motivated by developments in what can broadly be referred to as 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, enactive) approaches to cognition (see, for example, [ 8 , 9 ]). Subsequently, this has furthered the encounter between the debates in the area of cognitive enhancement and those in 4E cognition (see, for example, [ 10 ]). In short, if some or all cognitive artefacts are considered forms of enhancement technology, then the form of cognition at issue falls within the domain of 4E approaches.…”

The Over-Extended Mind? Pink Noise and the Ethics of Interaction-Dominant Systems

There is a growing recognition within cognitive enhancement and neuroethics debates of the need for greater emphasis on cognitive artefacts. This paper aims to contribute to this broadening and expansion of the cognitive-enhancement and neuroethics debates by focusing on a particular form of relation or coupling between humans and cognitive artefacts: interaction-dominance. We argue that interaction-dominance as an emergent property of some human-cognitive artefact relations has important implications for understanding the attribution and distribution of causal and other forms of responsibility as well as agency relating to the actions of human-cognitive artefact couplings. Interaction-dominance is both indicated and constituted by the phenomenon of “pink noise”. Understanding the role of noise in this regard will establish a necessary theoretical groundwork for approaching the ethical and political dimensions of relations between human cognition and digital cognitive artefacts. We argue that pink noise in this context plays a salient role in the practical, ethical, and political evaluation of coupling relations between humans and cognitive artefacts, and subsequently in the responsible innovation of cognitive artefacts and human-artefact interfaces.
