In the contemporary era, technology has evolved beyond being merely a tool at the service of humanity; it has become a force with the potential to fundamentally alter nature, society, and the destiny of mankind. Characteristics such as relentless expansion, boundless power, and long-term, often unpredictable consequences have transformed technology into a unique yet perilous phenomenon. Alongside the countless opportunities that technology has provided for human progress, it has also introduced threats such as environmental degradation, social instability, and the endangerment of future generations. In response to these transformations, Hans Jonas proposed the "Principle of Responsibility," emphasizing that humanity can no longer make decisions without considering their technological ramifications. According to Jonas, ethical responsibility entails a conscious commitment to a future that is more vulnerable than ever. The unprecedented expansion of technology forces humanity to look beyond immediate and individual interests, holding us accountable for the global and long-lasting effects of our actions. From this perspective, the relationship between technology and ethical responsibility is an inseparable and fundamental one. It is a connection that, in its essence, underscores that the survival of humanity and the Earth depends on a deeper understanding of the consequences of technological actions and a commitment to principles that prioritize the preservation of life, nature, and core human values.
