Airi is a partner of the Horizon Europe TechEthos project, addressing the ethics of technologies with high socio-economic impact.
New and emerging technologies are expected to generate opportunities and offer a wealth of socio-economic benefits, though also pose a number of potential ethical and legal challenges and societal consequences. How can we prioritise ethics and societal values in the design, development, and deployment of new and emerging technologies, particularly those with high socio-economic impact?
TechEthos made an in-depth horizon scan of current and future disruptive technologies and selected three exemplary tech families to develop guidance to support Ethics-by-design: climate engineering, neurotechnologies, and digital extended reality (XR).
The “Ethics-by-design” vision is to bring ethical and societal values into the design and development of technology from the very beginning of the process.
The project’s goal is to enhance ethical and legal frameworks and operational guidelines to support the research and innovation community in integrating ethics concerns and societal values into research protocols and technology design.
Thus, the project provides a unique, in-depth analysis of potential ethical, social and legal implications of a variety of applications related to the three families of technologies identified and beyond, and a guidance to address these implications and increase the impact of your technology developments.
