Technology Not as an End But a Means to Ethical Outcomes

Viewing technology solely as an end in itself leads to innovation that lacks direction and purpose. Instead, if technology is seen as a means to achieve ethically sound outcomes—such as improving human well-being, preserving the environment, and promoting justice—it becomes a powerful tool for positive change. This shift in perspective ensures that technological innovation serves humanity’s highest aspirations, rather than its worst instincts.
