PARAGON (Public Attitudes Research Assessing Games On Conflict)
What do we want the future of warfare to look like?
PARAGON is an interactive decision-making gameĀ on the use of emerging technology in future warfare. You must make decisions on what your country should do in a future war, and your decisions have consequences on the outcomes of the war.
PARAGON also serves as a public preference experiment, designed to reveal how people think about wartime decision-making and future technology.
Set against the backdrop of rapid technological innovation, PARAGON explores questions such as: how does the use of nanotechnology interplay with a military action that affects more civilians than soldiers?
Built on the custom Design Bioethics Laboratory's AWARE platform, PARAGON presents the moral and emotional struggles of wartime decision-making.
