The advent of intelligent wearable (external devices, such as watches and clothing) and insideable (implanted devices, such as identification chips or chips that control technological devices) human-capacity enhancing technologies has opened an ethical debate about their development and use in society. Based on data from an international sample of 1563 digital natives, a model is proposed and tested (1) that introduces ethical judgment and its five dimensions (“moral equity”, “relativism”, “utilitarianism”, “egoism” and “contractualism”) to explain intention to use intelligent capacity-enhancing technological devices; (2) that helps to explain the technological leap involved in moving from wearing technologies to incorporating them into the human body, through the moderating role that technology type has in the relationship between ethical judgment and intention to use. The results showed that: (1) Ethical judgment is key for the acceptance of wearables and insideables, and has greater explanatory capacity for insideables than for wearables; (2) “Egoism” has the highest explanatory power for intention to use insideables and “utilitarianism” is the most important dimension for intention to use wearables. Finally, a series of operational implications are proposed to guide the development and commercialisation of devices, while taking into account the ethical judgment of the users.

智能可穿戴设备（例如手表和衣服等外部设备）和可穿戴设备（例如识别芯片或控制技术设备的芯片等植入设备）的人类能力增强技术的出现，引发了关于其在社会上的发展和使用的道德争论。基于来自1563个数字原住民的国际样本的数据，提出并测试了一个模型（1），该模型引入了道德判断及其五个维度（“道德平等”，“相对主义”，“功利主义”，“利己主义”和“契约主义”） ）说明使用智能容量增强技术设备的意图；（2）有助于解释从穿戴技术过渡到将其纳入人体所涉及的技术飞跃，通过技术类型在道德判断和使用意图之间的关系中起的调节作用。结果表明：（1）伦理判断是接受可穿戴设备和内装设备的关键，并且对可穿戴设备和可穿戴设备的解释能力要大于可穿戴设备；（2）“利己主义”对于打算使用可穿戴设备具有最高的解释力，而“功利主义”是意图使用可穿戴设备的最重要方面。最后，在考虑到用户的道德判断的同时，提出了一系列的操作含义，以指导设备的开发和商业化。（2）“利己主义”对于打算使用可穿戴设备具有最高的解释力，而“功利主义”是意图使用可穿戴设备的最重要方面。最后，在考虑到用户的道德判断的同时，提出了一系列的操作含义，以指导设备的开发和商业化。（2）“利己主义”对于打算使用可穿戴设备具有最高的解释力，而“功利主义”是意图使用可穿戴设备的最重要方面。最后，在考虑到用户的道德判断的同时，提出了一系列的操作含义，以指导设备的开发和商业化。
