Towards Creating Infrastructures for Values and Ethics Work in the Production of Software Technologies

T0 review · 2 major / 5 minor · reviewed 2026-08-06 · deepseek-v4-flash

Pith's one-line read HCI should build infrastructures that support values and ethics work—redesigning organizational processes, communities, standards, and policy—rather than only designing tools for individual tech workers.

desk verdict A coherent, self-aware position paper that usefully reframes HCI values/ethics work toward infrastructure building; the transfer from infrastructure studies to actionable tactics is asserted, not yet demonstrated, but this deserves a serious referee. read the letter →

The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

HCI's standard way of addressing values and ethics in technology production has been to build tools that help individual designers and engineers make better product decisions. This paper argues that this tool-centered approach fails because the real obstacles are organizational and structural: tech workers often lack decision-making power, face incentives that work against ethical action, and are blocked by secrecy and hostile corporate processes. Drawing on infrastructure studies, the author proposes treating the social, organizational, and governance arrangements around technology production as an infrastructure that can be redesigned, and intervening across a wider landscape—organizational processes, communities of practice, standards, law, and policy—through multiple simultaneous modes of action. The goal is to create the conditions under which tech workers can successfully advocate for values and ethics, rather than to hand them a better checklist. If correct, this reorients values-in-design research from artifact design toward process and governance design.

What carries the argument

The carrying mechanism is the infrastructure lens, defined as the social, political, and technical arrangements that allow systems to function. The paper uses it in two ways: analytically, to conduct an 'infrastructural inversion' that foregrounds the processes and relationships normally in the background of design, and as a mode of action, treating those arrangements as redesignable. The mobilizing ideas include the relational question of when something is infrastructure, the inversion that brings background work into view, the repair-and-maintenance perspective that treats breakdown as a site for surfacing values, and the view of standards, law, and policy as infrastructure themselves. These ideas generate the paper's four tactics: designing values into organizational processes, building communities of practice, supporting the invisible labor of values and ethics advocates, and designing standards, policies, and tools that tactically engage existing systems.

What would settle it

Track values and ethics advocates in organizations that adopt the proposed infrastructural tactics—redesigned review processes, community-building activities, and standards engagement—and compare their ability to raise ethical concerns and change product decisions against advocates in organizations using only conventional tools; if several such comparisons show no difference, the central claim fails.

Watch

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central claim is that infrastructures—the sociotechnical arrangements that allow systems to function—should become both the analytic lens and the target of design for values and ethics in technology production. The author argues that HCI's dominant mode of action, designing tools and evaluating them with users, assumes an empowered individual worker who can make alternate design decisions; in practice workers face social power barriers, organizational incentives, and structural constraints. Treating the processes of technology production as infrastructure opens them up for redesign: privacy and security reviews, performance evaluations, financial investment practices, voluntary risk-management frameworks, and laws can all be shaped to create 'handholds' that support values and ethics advocates. The paper presents four infrastructural insights—infrastructures are dynamic processes, are social and experienced from multiple subject positions, require ongoing invisible work, and are embedded in standards, law, and policy—and derives a tactic from each. The concluding position is that supporting values and ethics work requires multiple, simultaneous modes of action across this broader landscape.

Load-bearing premise

The load-bearing premise is that concepts from infrastructure studies, developed to understand systems like the internet and undersea cables, transfer to the organizational processes of technology companies in ways that give HCI researchers actionable levers for change.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • If the central claim is correct, values and ethics research in HCI would expand beyond product-design tools to include the redesign of organizational processes such as privacy and security reviews, performance evaluations, and investment and disclosure practices.
  • Researchers and advocates would treat standards and policy as design surfaces, in particular by embedding 'handholds' in frameworks that legitimize the involvement of user-experience and human-computer-interaction expertise in technology governance.
  • Design activities would aim to build communities of practice and alliances among values and ethics advocates, not only to improve individual moral reasoning.
  • Tools would be designed to acknowledge the positionality, safety, and invisible labor of their users, sometimes by making ethics work less visible rather than more visible.
  • Change would be pursued through several modes of action at once—technical artifacts, organizational processes, communities, standards, and policy—because action in one area can open or close opportunities in others.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Beyond the paper, the infrastructural approach implies that the field's evaluation practices would need to shift: success would be measured by changes in organizational conditions and outcomes for advocates, rather than by tool usability in laboratory or classroom settings.
  • The same lens could be turned on the research community itself, since the barriers to studying corporate practice—nondisclosure agreements, corporate secrecy, and contracting practices—are infrastructure too and could become sites for collective workarounds and shared research infrastructure.
  • The paper's focus on U.S. corporate settings could be extended by testing whether the tactics transfer to public-sector organizations, academic laboratories, and non-U.S. contexts where legal protections and labor conditions differ.
  • A testable extension would be to develop metrics for 'conditions for advocacy'—such as whether concerns raised by advocates lead to changed decisions—and compare them across organizations adopting different combinations of the proposed tactics.

Referee Report

2 major / 5 minor

Summary. This paper is a conceptual/position paper arguing that HCI’s dominant approach to values and ethics—building tools to help individual tech workers—is insufficient because it ignores the broader organizational, economic, and governance processes that constrain advocacy. Drawing on infrastructure studies from STS and media studies, the paper proposes that HCI should work toward “infrastructures for values and ethics work,” and it develops four insights with associated tactics: designing values into organizational processes, building communities of practice, supporting invisible values/ethics work, and designing standards, law, and policy. The paper then discusses the need for multiple simultaneous modes of action, the challenges of hostile infrastructures and corporate secrecy, and the possibility of re-imagining infrastructures. The scope is explicitly the U.S. corporate technology production context, and the paper is framed as an agenda rather than an empirical evaluation.

Significance. If accepted, the paper would usefully reorient HCI values-in-design research from artifact-centric tool building toward a broader landscape of intervention—organizational processes, standards, policy, law, and communities—and it would connect a large body of recent practice-based research to infrastructure studies in a productive way. The paper’s strengths are its careful scoping, its explicit acknowledgment of access barriers and structural limits (Sections 4.2 and 4.3), and its transparent self-disclosure about the origins of its conceptual structure. It does not provide machine-checked proofs or empirical tests; its value is as a framework and research agenda that opens new questions and tactics.

major comments (2)
  1. [Section 3, esp. 3.1–3.4.1] The central claim that an infrastructural lens “opens up” organizational processes, standards, and policies “for (re)design” is supported by asserted affinities rather than by demonstration. The paper lists plausible tactics and existing exemplars, but no worked case shows that a values/ethics intervention at the infrastructural level changed who participates in decisions or improved advocacy conditions. The NIST AI RMF discussion in Section 3.4.1 illustrates this: the paper says “Presumably, HCI advocates were involved in the creation of this framework” but offers no evidence for that presumption or for any downstream effect on participation. As written, the paper’s strongest claim goes beyond what the evidence shows. I recommend either adding at least one detailed, documented case (for example, reconstructing how a standard or policy came to include UX expertise and what changed as a result) or explicitly repositioning the contribution as a research agenda with testable hypotheses.
  2. [Sections 4.2–4.3] The paper acknowledges that nondisclosure agreements, corporate secrecy, and contracting practices can block researchers from reaching the very sites that Section 3 proposes to redesign, and it concedes that the proposed interventions work within existing institutions of global capital. This is an honest limitation, but it is not integrated into the tactics themselves: Section 3.1’s process-design tactic and Section 3.2.1’s community-building tactic presuppose access that Section 4.2 says may be unavailable. Because the stated goal is to “help create the conditions for tech workers to successfully advocate,” the paper should specify which of the proposed tactics remain accessible despite these barriers (for example, standards-body participation, regulatory comment periods, public-sector analogues, or worker-led research) or should narrow the claim accordingly.
minor comments (5)
  1. [Section 1] In the vignette, “In the end, noting really changed” should read “nothing really changed.”
  2. [Section 3.1] The term “infrastucturing” is a typo for “infrastructuring.”
  3. [Section 3.4.1] The paper states that NIST released the AI Risk Management Framework in April 2024, but reference [98] is the NIST AI RMF 1.0, published in January 2023; the date should be corrected.
  4. [Section 4.2] “Threats posted by existing infrastructures” should read “threats posed by existing infrastructures.”
  5. [Footnote 4] The footnote discloses that the organization of Section 3 is similar to the author’s earlier “Infrastructural Speculations” [149]; the paper would benefit from a sentence explaining what is newly contributed beyond that earlier work, so that the present contribution is not read as a reorganization of prior material.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the paper's programmatic argument is self-contained and rests on external infrastructure-studies theory and independent empirical practice research.

full rationale

This is a conceptual/programmatic paper, not an empirical derivation with fitted parameters, so the fitted-input and prediction-reduction patterns do not apply. The central move—using infrastructure studies to expand sites and modes of action for values and ethics work—is grounded in external STS scholarship (Star and Ruhleder, Bowker et al., Jackson, Starosielski) and in externally conducted empirical studies of tech workers' values and ethics practice (Ali et al., Widder et al., Scheuerman and Brubaker, Madaio et al.). The paper's own prior work appears as definitional and illustrative sources: [144] supplies the term 'values work,' [149] is acknowledged in footnote 4 as a structural antecedent, and [146], [148], [150] provide examples. None of these self-citations carries a load-bearing premise such as a uniqueness theorem or a fitted parameter; the argument does not reduce to them. Section 3 explicitly frames each tactic as having 'affinities' with an infrastructural insight taken from external literature, and the proposal that organizational processes, standards, and policies can be (re)designed is a stated design orientation rather than an empirical prediction that would be forced by construction. The limitations conceded in Sections 4.2 and 4.3—nondisclosure agreements, corporate secrecy, and working 'within existing institutions of global capital'—are internal scope constraints, not circular derivations. No equation, definition, or citation chain makes the conclusion equivalent to its inputs. The skeptics' concern that the infrastructure-to-action transfer is asserted rather than demonstrated is a contribution-strength or evidence limitation, not a circularity.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 1 invented entities

No free parameters apply: the paper contains no quantitative fits. Five domain assumptions carry the argument, chiefly the transferability of infrastructure concepts to tech company organizational processes and the accessibility of the proposed modes of action. One programmatic category, 'infrastructures for values and ethics work', is introduced without a falsifiable handle.

assumptions (5)
  • domain assumption HCI's dominant tool-based approach to values and ethics is insufficient because organizational, social, and political constraints limit individual tech workers.
    Motivates the entire paper; supported by the Francine vignette and cited practice research (Ali et al. [2], Widder et al. [142], Madaio et al. [87]), but treated as established background rather than demonstrated in this paper.
  • domain assumption The infrastructure-studies concept of infrastructure transfers productively to the organizational processes of technology production and reveals actionable sites of intervention.
    This transfer is argued by analogy and affinity throughout Section 3; no independent test of the transfer is provided, making it load-bearing.
  • domain assumption HCI researchers and designers can effectively (re)design organizational processes, standards, policies, and laws to create conditions favorable to values and ethics work.
    Assumes the enumerated modes of action are accessible and efficacious. Section 4.3 concedes the interventions operate within existing institutions of global capital; Section 4.2 documents concrete access barriers such as nondisclosure agreements.
  • domain assumption The Francine vignette and the cited practice-based studies represent broader patterns in technology production.
    The vignette is a single anecdote; the paper says it is 'reflective of research' [2, 84, 88, 117, 142, 144], but representativeness is asserted rather than established.
  • domain assumption The US corporate business context is the appropriate primary scope for the analysis.
    Stated in footnotes 1 and 2, citing the global influence of US technology firms; this scope limits generalization to other sectors and countries, which the paper acknowledges.
invented entities (1)
  • Infrastructures for values and ethics work (proposed design category)
    purpose: The paper's central proposal: instead of designing artifacts for individuals, HCI should create or (re)design organizational processes, standards, policies, communities, and other background arrangements that shape the conditions of technology production.
    This is a programmatic category introduced by the paper. No falsifiable handle or success metric is provided: the tactics are illustrated with existing examples (NIST AI RMF, GDPR as a piggyback point, ethics games for ally building), but no infrastructure built under this program is evaluated. Whether it 'helps create the conditions for tech workers to successfully advocate' is not operationalized.

Recognizing how technical systems can embody social values or cause harms, human-computer interaction (HCI) research often approaches addressing values and ethics in design by creating tools to help tech workers integrate social values into the design of products. While useful, these approaches usually do not consider the politics embedded in the broader processes, organizations, social systems, and governance structures that affect the types of actions that tech workers can take to address values and ethics. This paper argues that creating infrastructures to support values and ethics work, rather than tools, is an approach that takes these broader processes into account and opens them up for (re)design. Drawing on prior research conceptualizing infrastructures from science \& technology studies and media studies, this paper outlines conceptual insights from infrastructures studies that open up new tactics for HCI researchers and designers seeking to support values and ethics in design.
