Stakeholder-informed ethics for new technologies with high socio-economic and human rights impact

Descrizione del progetto

Promuovere un futuro in linea con i diritti umani e i valori della società

Tecnologie avanzate come l'intelligenza artificiale, i robot e l'editing dei geni umani stanno diventando sempre più diffuse, per cui non è possibile trascurare le implicazioni etiche derivate da tali progressi. Il progetto SIENNA, finanziato dall'UE, riunisce 13 partner per esplorare le pressanti sfide nei campi dell’etica e dei diritti umani poste dalla genomica umana, dal potenziamento umano, dall'intelligenza artificiale e dalla robotica. Se da un lato questi sviluppi promettono incredibili benefici, dall'altro sono anche fonte di notevoli preoccupazioni per quanto riguarda questioni come l'autonomia personale e la privacy, l'uguaglianza e la responsabilità. SIENNA si propone di districarsi in questa rete etica effettuando indagini con i cittadini, conducendo interviste con esperti, organizzando workshop e creando quadri di riferimento. In questo modo, il progetto apre la strada a una ricerca e a un'innovazione responsabili.

Obiettivo

SIENNA is a three and a half year project with 11 core partners and 2 associate partners, focussing on ethical and human rights challenges posed by human genomics, human enhancement and human-machine interaction technologies such as robots and smart devices. While these technologies offer significant benefits to individuals and society, they also present significant ethical challenges, e.g. in relation to human autonomy, equality, personal liberty, privacy, and accountability. In collaboration with a variety of stakeholders, SIENNA will identify and assess the ethical and socio-economic issues, public opinions, legal regulation and human rights implications of each technology. It will produce a framework for each of the three technologies that will form the basis for the development of research ethics protocols, professional ethical codes, and better ethical and legal frameworks. Before developing their recommendations, the partners will gather ethical views of experts and citizens towards the three technologies in four ways: (1) a major survey of citizens in 11 countries within and outside the EU; (2) panels of citizens in five countries; (3) interviews with experts and stakeholders; (4) workshops with stakeholders including scientists, ethicists, research ethics committees, professional organisations, civil society organisations, industry and policy makers. SIENNA will boost the EU’s leadership in developing ethical standards and support its vision of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) as a means to foster the design of inclusive research and innovation. The project will improve knowledge of the ethical, human rights and socio-economic impacts of the three technologies, while supporting ethical and responsible decision making by research ethics committees, scientific researchers and policy makers in the three areas. SIENNA will also create added value by generalising its methods for use in other emerging technological domains.
