[EN] In this article we offer a theoretical proposal to analyse the barriers affecting the activities and participation of people with disabilities in social environments, based on the concept of social appropriation. Our approach to this concept involves two phases of evaluation by the communities or groups of users in these environments. The purpose of these evaluations is to reveal the existence of potential barriers. When they exist, these barriers can affect the activities done by the community in the environment as well as the mediator elements that support the performance of such activities. Throughout the paper we will consider the conditions leading to the concept of social appropriation and the indicators that allow it to be expressed quantitatively. We will also study the relationship between social appropriation and the forms of community and user innovation that result from paying attention to eliminating barriers in these social environments. Additionally, we will provide some examples of cases showing the potential for practical application of the proposed analysis on barriers.

[EN] The movement, named “Inclusive Education, Yes, Special Too” (Educación Inclusiva Sí, Especial También) originated in the publicly-subsidized private schools dedicat-ed to special education. This article aims to analyze the discourse framework of this movement and to confront it with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), joined by Spain in 2008. Therefore, using Critical Discourse Analysis, we analyze the arguments and ideas expressed by their followers in the media, unions’ publications, online audiovisual material and posts on Twitter. Our fndings show a discourse based on a misinterpretation of recent law projects and the concept of ‘educative inclusion’ of the United Nations and also the association of ordinary schools with competitiveness, hostility towards functional diversity and psychological discomfort. Consequently, the outcome of this paper indicates that there is a common discourse shared by this movement and the pro-inclusive move-ment based on the lack of inclusion in Spanish ordinary schools., [ES] El debate sobre la escolarización de la infancia con discapacidad resurge en España con una intensidad inédita a fnales de 2018. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el marco interpretativo del discurso del movimiento “Plataforma Educación Inclusiva Sí, Especial TAMBIÉN”, que se pone en contraste con los planteamientos pro-inclusión recogidos en la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, aprobada por la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas en 2006 y ratifcada por España en 2008. Para ello, se analizan los argumentos e ideas de quienes se alinean con esta plataforma, expresados en artículos publicados en me-dios, notas de prensa, vídeos y mensajes difundidos en Twitter entre diciembre de 2018 y abril de 2019. El método de análisis e interpretación de los resultados es el Análisis Crítico del Discurso. Los resultados muestran un discurso basado en la malinterpretación de las propuestas legislativas recientes, en una caricaturización de la idea de inclusión educativa impulsada por Naciones Unidas y en la asociación entre escuela ordinaria y competitividad, hostilidad hacia la diversidad funcional y malestar infantil. Se observa un espacio discursivo común entre este discurso y el de quienes defienden la inclusión educativa, basado en la crítica a la falta de inclusión actual en los centros ordinarios españoles

There is a growing debate on how to regulate and make responsible use of digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). In an increasingly globalized scenario, power relations and inequalities between different countries and regions need to be addressed. While developed countries are leading the building of an ethical governance architecture for AI, in the so-called global south (e.g., countries with a post-colonial history, also called non-developing countries), their situation of vulnerability and dependence on northern domination leads them to import digital technology, capital and modes of organization from these developed countries. This imbalance, in the absence of an ethical reflection, can have a significantly negative impact on their already excluded, oppressed and discriminated populations. In this paper, we want to explore to what extent countries from the global south that import digital technology from developed countries may be affected if we do not take into account the need for multi-level and ethical global governance of AI from a human rights/democratic perspective. In particular, we want to address two problems that may arise: (a) Lack of governance capacity in southern populations resulting from their dependence from northern leadership on technological innovations and regulations, and (b) material and workforce extractivism inflicted by the northern countries on southern ones.

We want to explore the idea that for our naturally evolved social cognition to be applied to artificial agents (e.g. social robots) a particular configuration of the physical characteristics of the robot (e.g. physical embodiment) is needed. For example, key social features or a topography of elements similar to a human face where the eyes are essential.

Developments in AI and robotics in recent years have opened new possibilities for the introduction of these technological devices in areas such as care, education, and entertainment, with important implications for children. The rise of interactive robotics in these fields requires that technological designs involve the impact that such interaction may have on children, considering the special needs for the protection of dignity and the growth of autonomy that characterises this stage of life. In this paper we argue that this valuing perspective on childhood introduces the requirement that robotic designs and their uses must normatively conform to the human rights of children.

In recent years, technological change has been very significant, including the field of assistive technologies for disability, aimed at promoting the autonomy of people with disabilities. This technological change (in which we mainly consider interactive robotics devices incorporating artificial intelligence tools) may bring with it an equally notable change in the exercise of personal autonomy, putting at risk the regulatory protection that underpins it. We refer to the repercussions that emerging technologies may have on privacy, data integrity and data protection. In this paper we will address these issues, taking as a reference the normative framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

[EN] In this article we introduce the proposal that the concept of functional diversity be considered a relevant category necessarily applicable as an analytical perspective in the social sphere. To this end, we offer arguments in favour of the importance and value of functional diversity as such a category so that it will be seen as a perspective for comprehensive analysis of a broad spectrum of dimensions of human experience and social life. We will situate the idea of functional diversity in six different and interrelated dimensions of human experience, which we call: body dimension, relational, political, ethical, social, and cultural dimension, relating to the corresponding dimensions in the social sphere. The idea of functional diversity will be shown as an essential element in each one of these dimensions, which range from the body to culture. At the same time, our analysis of the idea of functional diversity will involve a deconstructive examination of ableism.

[EN] In this work we propose a study of technical condition, understood as the instrumental subsidiary capacity of the human being to alter their world environment, from themselves and for themselves, by introducing the notions of “functioning relationship” and “appropriation” of technical elements within this relationship. The functioning relationship expresses the intertwining between the body and the environment through the network of functionings that are realisable in this environment. Realisation of functionings can be influenced by the presence of barriers or facilitators. Appropriation of technical elements takes into consideration this influence and expresses the significant presence of such elements in the functioning relationship through the effectiveness of their technical action on effective realisation of the functionings. We will pay attention to a broad notion of prosthesis and its restricted expression in the difference between the processes known as “incorporation” and “extension”, linked to the use of external tools. We will show the possibility of considering these two processes jointly in the notion of appropriation, referring to each technical element, prosthesis, and tool within the structure of the functioning relationship. As an implicit process in this relationship we consider, based on appropriation of technical elements, the process of transference of their technical action to the environment and modification of this environment upon integrating these elements and their actions into it as transformations of its material culture.

To assess—from a qualitative perspective—the perceptions and attitudes of Spanish rehabilitation professionals (e.g. rehabilitation doctors, speech therapists, physical therapists) about Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology. A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study was carried out by means of interviews and analysis of textual content with mixed generation of categories and segmentation into frequency of topics. We present the results of three in-depth interviews that were conducted with Spanish speaking individuals who had previously completed a survey as part of a larger, 3-country/language, survey on BCI perceptions. 11 out of 15 of these Spanish respondents (survey) either strongly or somewhat accept the use of BCI in rehabilitation therapy. However, the results of our three in-depth interviews show how, due to a strong inertia of attitudes and perceptions about BCI technology, most professionals feel reluctant to use BCI technology in their daily practice (interview).

[EN] In this article we will put forward the proposal that the concept of functional diversity can be considered as a relevant analytical category necessarily applicable as a perspective of analysis to the social sphere. To this end, we will situate the idea of functional diversity in six different and interrelated dimensions of human experience, which we call: body dimension, relational, political, ethical, social and cultural dimension, in relation to the corresponding dimensions of the social sphere. The idea of functional diversity will appear as a fundamental element in each of these six dimensions, extending from the body to culture. We consider this breadth in the scope of the idea’s presence to be essential as an argument in favour of its conceptual importance. This approach to the idea of functional diversity will involve, at the same time, a deconstructive examination of the discourse of ableism, which we consider to be opposed to the discourse emanating from the anti-ableist perspective of functional diversity. If, as such a category, functional diversity manages to embrace such a wide spectrum of dimensions of human experience and social life, the possibility of beginning to include it in an epistemic-political sense as a necessary analytical perspective in the social sphere acquires value, perhaps as relevant in the future as the gender perspective is at present., [ES] : En este artículo plantearemos la propuesta de que el concepto de diversidad funcional pueda llegar a considerarse como una categoría analítica relevante aplicable necesariamente como perspectiva de análisis al ámbito de lo social. Para ello, situaremos la idea de diversidad funcional en seis dimensiones distintas e interrelacionadas de la experiencia humana, que denominamos: dimensión corporal, relacional, política, ética, social y dimensión cultural, en relación con las dimensiones correspondientes del ámbito de la sociedad. La idea de diversidad funcional aparecerá como un elemento fundamental en cada una de esas seis dimensiones, que se extienden desde el cuerpo hasta la cultura. Consideramos que esta amplitud en el ámbito de presencia de la idea es esencial como argumento a favor de su importancia conceptual. Este planteamiento acerca de la idea de diversidad funcional implicará, a la vez, un examen deconstructivo del discurso del capacitismo, que consideramos opuesto al discurso que emana de la perspectiva anticapacitista de la diversidad funcional. Si como tal categoría, la diversidad funcional logra abarcar tal amplio espectro de dimensiones de la experiencia humana y de la vida social, adquiere valor la posibilidad de comenzar a incluirla en sentido epistémico-político como una perspectiva analítica necesaria en el ámbito social, quizá tan relevante en el futuro como lo es actualmente la perspectiva de género.

La crisis de salud pública provocada por la pandemia causada por la covid-19 se ha convertido en una crisis de derechos humanos que ha afectado injustamente a personas con diversidad funcional y a personas ancianas. En este trabajo consideramos que en el subsuelo de esta última crisis encontramos la intersección entre el prejuicio capacitista y el prejuicio edadista. En una primera parte, después de definir el capacitismo, realizamos una crítica normativa de la exclusión ex ante de la asistencia sanitaria de estos grupos sociales. Defendemos el punto de vista del universalismo igualitario subyacente en la idea de dignidad, fundamento de los derechos humanos y de una bioética centrada en ellos. Finalmente, abordamos el proceder inclusivo frente a la pandemia, tanto desde el punto de vista de la justicia de la práctica sanitaria como desde el punto de vista, más amplio, de la justicia social.

Lo que voy a presentar en esta comunicación es un estudio particular acerca de la diversidad funcional, que pretende ser, a la vez, un estudio deconstructivo del capacitismo. Veremos cómo la idea de diversidad funcional aparece de manera transversal en seis dimensiones distintas de la experiencia humana, que he denominado: dimensión corporal, relacional, política, ética, social y dimensión cultural, y recíprocamente veremos también cómo estas seis dimensiones se proyectan en la idea de diversidad funcional, de manera que tendremos una especie de realimentación entre la transversalidad del concepto de diversidad funcional sobre estas seis dimensiones y la proyección de las mismas en el concepto. A lo largo de la comunicación iremos viendo, entonces, cómo la idea de diversidad funcional aparece en cada una de esas seis dimensiones distintas, que van de lo micro a lo macro, desde el cuerpo hasta la cultura, y esta amplitud en el dominio de la idea me parece relevante como argumento a favor de la potencia e importancia conceptual de la diversidad funcional. Al final de la exposición, regresaremos a la noción de partida, las epistemologías de la diversidad funcional, para plantear la propuesta de considerar la diversidad funcional como una categoría analítica transversal necesaria para analizar, de una manera conjunta, los ámbitos individual y social de la experiencia humana.

[EN] The idea of functional diversity was originated in 2005 within the Independent Living Movement in Spain. This vision of disability is different from traditional medical-rehabilitative and social models, and among its objectives is the fight against ‘ableism’. Technologies 4.0 are characterised by their versatility in design and digital production, which allow individualisation of technological developments in fields such as biomedicine and biomechanics. The manufacture of devices tailored to the particular needs of each user causes these technologies to extend basic assumptions in the social model. From the traditional paradigm of ‘design for all’ (or universal design), the aim now is to ensure individualised design as a result of the technological and industrial appropriation. This model will continue to be social if it allows each person’s functioning to expand, not from medical rehabilitation or ‘normality’ but rather from technological autonomy in functioning ecosystems.

Como discurso, el capacitismo se basa en valores, representaciones y prácticas sociales que privilegian un modo de funcionamiento estándar, asumido como patrón de normalidad y norma reguladora sobre cuerpos y entornos. Pero, el capacitismo no discrimina únicamente a las personas con discapacidad, como suele creerse, sino a todas las personas o grupos sociales cuyo funcionamiento no corresponda con los patrones normativos que impone sobre las características de los entornos. A través de sus requerimientos de accesibilidad a los entornos, las personas con discapacidad contribuyen a suprimir barreras, mejorando su relación de funcionamiento en ellos. Las acciones derivadas de tales requerimientos pueden considerarse como innovaciones sociales ciudadanas que favorecen una mayor apropiación social de los entornos, a la vez que fomentan que la diversidad de funcionamientos sea apreciada como un valor enriquecedor de la sociedad. Se propone la noción de “ecosistemas de funcionamientos”, como entornos en los que se favorece activamente, se promueve y se respeta la diversidad funcional, en tanto discurso para la comprensión de la discapacidad opuesto al capacitismo. Cuanto mayor sea el conjunto de funcionamientos que puedan integrarse en un entorno, más incluyente será como ecosistema de funcionamientos y, como resultado, permitirá que un número mayor de personas puedan participar y desarrollar en él sus actividades. Entornos así ofrecerán una mayor libertad de elección y favorecerán la igualdad de oportunidades.

Technological change has been notable in recent decades, including the field of assistive technologies aimed at promoting the autonomy of the elderly and disabled people. Personal autonomy is possible thanks to ethical-juridical protection through reciprocally recognized human rights (civil and political, economic, social and cultural, third generation). The current technological change could produce an alteration in the exercise of personal autonomy, putting at risk its normative protection, since some of these rights currently require technological mediations to be able to be carried out. Nowadays, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) governs as the international normative framework that defines and protects the autonomy of people with disabilities, mostly elderly, and includes important references to technological developments. New assistive technologies, that can be used to record physiological variables or to monitor habitual patterns of life, are suggested as devices that promote personal autonomy. Health monitoring could impact privacy, identity, integrity, and the protection of personal data. Therefore, it is necessary to broaden the ethical reflection from the CRPD to the relevant regulations on privacy and data protection (General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] and Draft Privacy Regulation ePrivacy) and the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) provided in Art. 35 GDPR, which is especially relevant for the realm of assistive technologies. In this contribution we show how technological change affects some aspects of personal autonomy, its normative protection, privacy, and care.

Important ethical-political ideas are analysed in this contribution: autonomy, dependency, vulnerability, functioning, care and disability, within the relevant discursive frameworks for development of an inclusive robotics. This development will have to take into account the regulatory framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and prospectively orient itself towards facilitating autonomy in the achievement of human functionings in inclusive environments, guaranteeing the conditions for good care. To this end, it will be important to also pay attention to theoretical frameworks such as the capability approach (Sen, Nussbaum) and ethical conceptions of care (Tronto, Kittay). Additionally, we feel another social group that should be considered regarding the consequences coming from the introduction of robotics is the group made up of children and adolescents. For the responsible integration of inclusive and interactive robotics, as a mediating factor in the socialisation process, it is necessary to maintain careful protections in regard to the inherent vulnerability of this group; this requires that the general regulatory obligations regarding protection, full development and wellbeing underlying the discourse in the Convention on the Rights of the Child be used as a reference in order to always safeguard the greater interests of the minor.

In this contribution, we analyse important questions related to the conceptual foundations of axiology, or the discipline concerned with the study of value, with regard to its repercussion in the field of inclusive robotics. We take a pluralistic position on the subject, with the goal of presenting a way for us to approach the complex system of values around which current scientific-technological practice takes place. Based on these considerations, we provide a set of ideas that can be useful as a bridge to move from the axiology of the technology towards the field of inclusive robotics within the paradigm of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI).

[EN] In this paper we consider the ethical-political basis of a new conception of human vulnerability in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), proposing its incorporation in the development of emerging robotic technology. We reflect on the notion of assistance. The CRPD suggests a new conception based on the social recognition of personal autonomy through a set of human rights, grounded on the value of respect for the diversity of human functionings. The capability approach (Martha Nussbaum) provides important theoretical support for this new conception. From this new perspective of justice, focused on inclusive human development, we argue that the role of healthcare robotics should be reoriented towards an inclusive robotics: one that, in addition to contributing to care, enables support for what people can do in different life stages, facilitating their inclusion in diverse social environments (education, work environment, etc.)., [ES] En este trabajo consideramos las bases ético-políticas de una nueva concepción acerca de la vulnerabilidad humana recogida en la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con discapacidad (CDPD), proponiendo su incorporación en los desarrollos de la tecnología emergente robótica. Reflexionamos sobre la noción de asistencia. En la CDPD se apunta una nueva concepción basada en el reconocimiento social de la autonomía personal mediante un conjunto de derechos humanos, sustentados en el valor de respeto a la diversidad de funcionamientos humanos. El enfoque de las capacidades (Martha Nussbaum) proporciona un importante apoyo teórico a esta nueva concepción. Desde esta nueva óptica de justicia, centrada en un desarrollo humano inclusivo, argumentamos que el papel de la robótica asistencial debe ser reorientado hacia una robótica inclusiva: aquella que, además de contribuir al cuidado, posibilita el apoyo a lo que las personas, en sus diferentes etapas vitales, son capaces de hacer, facilitando su inclusión en diversos entornos sociales (educación, entorno laboral, etc.)

The relationship of a community with a robotic device happens by means of a social discourse comprised of social values, practices and representations of this device. But the robot that connects with the user community also brings with it values, practices and representations coming from the communities responsible for its idea, design, development and manufacturing, marketing, commercialization and distribution. This artefactual discourse, brought to life in the device, is present in the environments where it is used and might come to modify the discourse in the community. As devices that mediate actions, robots not only transforms the practices carried out in an environment, but also its characteristic values.

[EN] The aim of this article is twofold: Firstly, we intend to describe the classical theory of intentional agency and to analyze how the neuro-technology of brain-machine interfaces (BCI) challenges the demands of that classical theory of agency and body consciousness. BCI neuro-technology works by implanting electrodes directly into the motor brain cortex that controls movement and detect neuronal signals associated with the intention to move, what is decoded by an algorithm on a computer in real time. Thus, someone could simply think about moving a leg or an arm and the tool (a prosthesis or exoskeleton) would receive the information to translate thought into action. This is yet feasible and its applications could involve rehabilitation of motor function and the possibility of enhancing human abilities. Both applications give rise to various several ethical implications but mainly to one that we call “the ethical problem of agency”. Secondly, we briefly explore the ethics of algorithms in the context of BCI neuro-technology and the way autonomy, responsibility, and informational privacy are understood. Finally, we advocate the need for an ethical framework of principles governing neuro-technology, such as the new neuro-rights., [ES] En este artículo, nos proponemos dos objetivos: el primero, describir la teoría clásica de la agencia intencional y cómo la neurotecnología de las interfaces cerebro-máquina desafía los requisitos de la teoría clásica de la agencia y de la consciencia corporal. La neurotecnología de las interfaces cerebro-máquina funciona implantando electrodos directamente en el área de la corteza motora del cerebro que controla el movimiento, y está diseñada para detectar las señales neuronales asociadas con la intención de moverse, que son después decodificadas por un algoritmo en un computador en tiempo real. Así, una persona podría pensar en mover su pierna o su brazo y la máquina recibiría la información de su pensamiento para traducir el pensamiento en acción, mediante prótesis internas o exoesqueletos. Esto es posible y sus aplicaciones se proyectan tanto sobre la rehabilitación de la funcionalidad motora, como sobre la posibilidad de mejoramiento (enhancement) de las capacidades humanas. Ambas aplicaciones dan lugar a numerosas implicaciones éticas, pero destacamos principalmente una, que denominamos: el problema ético de la agencia. El segundo objetivo del artículo es explorar brevemente la ética algorítmica en el contexto de las interfaces cerebro-máquina y cómo se entienden en este ámbito la autonomía, la responsabilidad y la privacidad informacional. Finalmente, abogamos por la necesidad de un marco ético de principios que regule la neurotecnología, y en tal sentido apelamos a los nuevos neuroderechos

In contrast to the hegemonic conceptual analysis from philosophy, we explore an alternative psychology based on perception and people’s use of the words robot, machine and technology. To do this, we use computing tools to analyse information from Wikipedia and Google’s search engine, which lets us envisage a digital paradigm in the understanding of robotics.

[EN] The conceptual materials that serve as a basis for our reflec-tions in this contribution are, on the one hand, a “discursive” approach to the relationship between users and technologies, in which we take into consideration the respective sets of values, representations and social practices that make up the discourse of the users and the artefactual discourse materialized in technological devices. On the other hand, the capability approach of Sen and Nussbaum, as a widely accepted and in-fluential ethical-political paradigm. With such materials, we will try to define the profiles to which a robotics of interaction with human beings that can be defined as an inclusive robotics, in relation to people with dis-abilities and children, should fit. The responsible introduction of inclusive robotics, as a mediating factor in functionings environments, requires that the general obligations of protection, full rights and well-being un-derlying the discourse and normative framework of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, be taken as a reference in order to ensure careful protection towards the vulnerability of these groups of people., [ES] Los materiales conceptuales que sirven de base a nuestras re-flexiones en este trabajo son, por un lado, un enfoque “discursivo” de la relación entre usuarios y tecnologías, en el que tomamos en considera-ción los respectivos conjuntos de valores, representaciones y prácticas sociales que configuran cada discurso, el de los usuarios y el discurso ar-tefactual materializado en los dispositivos tecnológicos. Por otro lado, el enfoque de capacidades de Sen y Nussbaum, en cuanto paradigma ético-político de amplia aceptación e influencia. Con tales materiales, trataremos de definir los perfiles de una robótica interactiva que pueda definirse como robótica inclusiva, en relación a las personas con discapaci-dad, personas mayores y niños. Su introducción responsable como factor de mediación en los entornos de funcionamientos requiere adoptar las obligaciones normativo-axiológicas subyacentes en la Convención sobre los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad, y en la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño, con el fin de garantizar la protección cuidadosa frente a la vulnerabilidad propia de estos grupos sociales.
