Description du projet
Promouvoir un avenir conforme aux droits de l’homme et aux valeurs sociétales
Les technologies de pointe telles que l’intelligence artificielle, les robots et l’édition de gènes humains sont de plus en plus répandues, et les implications éthiques de ces avancées ne peuvent être négligées. Le projet SIENNA, financé par l’UE, réunira 13 partenaires qui se pencheront sur les défis éthiques et en matière de droits de l’homme posés par la génomique, l’amélioration humaine, l’intelligence artificielle et la robotique. En effet, si ces avancées promettent des bienfaits incroyables, elles sont aussi une source d’inquiétude majeure lorsqu’il s’agit de problématiques telles que l’autonomie personnelle et la vie privée, ainsi que l’égalité et la responsabilité. SIENNA vise à démêler cet écheveau éthique par le biais d’enquête auprès des citoyens et d’entretiens avec des experts, ainsi qu’en organisant des ateliers et en élaborant différents cadres. Ce faisant, le projet ouvrira la voie à une recherche et une innovation responsables.
Objectif
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.
