Descripción del proyecto
Fomentar un futuro acorde con los derechos humanos y los valores sociales
Tecnologías avanzadas como la inteligencia artificial, los robots y la edición de genes humanos son cada vez más frecuentes, y no pueden pasarse por alto las implicaciones éticas de tales avances. El proyecto SIENNA, financiado con fondos europeos, reúne a trece socios para explorar los acuciantes retos éticos y de derechos humanos que plantean la genómica humana,el perfeccionamiento humano, la inteligencia artificial y la robótica. Aunque estos avances prometen beneficios increíbles, también son fuente de gran preocupación por cuestiones como la autonomía personal y la privacidad, y la igualdad y la responsabilidad. El proyecto SIENNA se propone desenredar esta maraña ética, encuestando a ciudadanos, entrevistando a expertos, organizando talleres y elaborando marcos. De este modo, allana el camino a la investigación y la innovación responsables.
Objetivo
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.
