Abstract
In the wave of generative artificial intelligence, the leap in digital technology has not only opened a new chapter in human civilization but also posed higher demands on the ethical complexity and value diversity of social governance. As technology becomes deeply integrated into daily life, we need to comprehensively examine its essence. External regulation and critique are no longer sufficient to address technological development; guiding technology towards good through internal design has become key, highlighting the importance of technical governance as a new path for social governance. As an essential dimension of technical governance, Value-Sensitive Design (VSD) has garnered significant attention due to its ethical implications and cutting-edge practices. VSD considers various moral values in design, ensuring that technological development aligns with societal visions. By clarifying value orientations, VSD places human values at the core, iterating designs to ensure that technology aligns with social ethics. This paper explores the design and application of noise decibel detection lamps based on VSD, embodying the concept of “tranquility, harmony, and order,” playing an active role in enhancing well-being and optimizing governance, and providing valuable insights for technological innovation and social governance.
