Abstract
This paper presents an approach which aims to build on earlier approaches to the ethical study of emerging technologies. The ethics of emerging technologies is a growing field, as the range and potential impact of technologies is ever expanding in our increasingly technological world. The ethics of emerging technologies and their study is first reviewed by examining a number of key ethical frameworks (including ATE, eIA, Future Studies and ATE+). However, these approaches lack some elements, which the paper looks to strengthen by integrating policy and empirical elements. The resulting approach is the TechEthos Anticipatory ethics Matrix (TEAeM) framework. This framework provides a methodological foundation for the study of ethical issues, especially for emerging technologies. In this way the TEAeM framework contributes to the field of emerging technologies ethics analysis.
