La Fondazione Kavli istituisce due Centri Kavli per l’etica, la scienza e il pubblico per promuovere la partecipazione attiva del pubblico all’esplorazione dei risvolti etici delle scoperte scientifiche

I Centri presso l’Università della California a Berkeley e l’Università di Cambridge impartiranno formazione agli scienziati per renderli consapevoli dei risvolti etici e sociali delle scoperte scientifiche e dell’importanza della partecipazione attiva del pubblico a discussioni tempestive e intenzionali in proposito.

Scientific discoveries deepen our understanding of nature and ourselves, with the potential to transform our everyday lives, yet can raise ethical concerns or risks for society. Cutting-edge neuroscience, genetics, and artificial intelligence are a few examples that are driving the need to discuss: Who bears responsibility for broad ethical considerations of scientific discoveries? When is it optimal to consider implications and risks? How can the public be empowered to participate in these discussions? Two Kavli Centers for Ethics, Science, and the Public – at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Cambridge – are engaging the public to explore ethical and societal impacts born from scientific discovery.

Two Kavli Centers for Ethics, Science, and the Public – at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Cambridge – are engaging the public to explore ethical and societal impacts born from scientific discovery.

  • Artificial Intelligence expert, Stuart Russell, remarks on the power of science and the need to discuss the ethical dilemmas born from discoveries in science and technology and their impacts on society.

  • Internationally recognized social scientist and genetic counsellor, Anna Middleton, talks about the new Kavli Centers for Ethics, Science, and the Public and bringing the public together with scientists earlier in the scientific process to debate ethical implications of scientific research and innovation.

  • Kavli Foundation President and scientist, Cynthia Friend, shares her aspirations for the new Kavli Centers for Ethics, Science, and the Public: to see long-term change that affects how people do and think about their scientific research and that the public views of ethical considerations associated with science and technology are folded into and part of the way scientific research is done.

  • Brooke Smith of The Kavli Foundation raises the question: who is responsible for broad ethical decisions in scientific discoveries? She says a lot of people are responsible for it, including scientific institutions. And that helping the scientific community be more intentional and proactive in engaging the public early in such conversations is needed.

LOS ANGELES--()--Le scoperte scientifiche approfondiscono la nostra comprensione della natura e di noi stessi e possono trasformare la nostra vita quotidiana, ma possono anche dare adito a rischi e preoccupazioni d’ordine etico per la società.

La neuroscienza, la genetica e l’intelligenza artificiale all’avanguardia non sono che alcuni esempi che stanno rendendo necessario discutere le seguenti questioni: chi è responsabile degli ampi risvolti etici delle scoperte scientifiche?
