  • Exclusive: On the Frontier of Science and Technology Ethics
    WU Heqi, SUN Yuanjun
    Science & Technology Review. 2023, 41(7): 28-36. https://doi.org/10.3981/j.issn.1000-7857.2023.07.003
    To address scientific misconduct China has established a governance mechanism based on legislation, normative documents and departmental rules. However, the current governance mechanism of scientific research misconduct still has problems in the whole cycle (before, during and after the event), which are specifically reflected in scientific research data management, investigation and processing modes, disciplinary measures, etc. This paper combs the beneficial experience of foreign countries in these respects, analyzes the causes of China's scientific research misconduct and the problems in the governance mechanism, provides a reference for adjusting China's scientific research misconduct governance mechanism, and points out that we should focus on establishing a diversified scientific research evaluation mechanism, improving scientific research data management mechanism, establishing an independent regulatory department to deal with scientific research misconduct, and refining the punishment for scientific research misconduct.

    The emerging technology management system is an important way to reduce negative effects of the technology. Many countries have made achievements in the research of technology governance strategy and practice in terms of of responsible innovation. However, the underlying logic behind technical governance remains unclear. This paper uses case analysis method to study the nanotechnology governance strategies and practice pathways in the United States, European Union and China. The results show that government plays a leading role in the emerging technology governance. National demand is the main driving force of governance objectives and strategies. "Balancing" the relationship between stakeholders is the main tool of governance in emerging technologies. Collaborative governance is the action orientation of emerging technology governance. The government is in the center of the emerging technology governance network structure. The governance structure evolves from "vertical" to "network" and the governance concept turns from adaptive governance to forward-looking governance.

    Based on "meaningful human control", which is the core concept of artificial intelligence ethics, the ethical difficulties in the algorithm design stage for autonomous driving are summarized in the article. The feasibility of "meaningful human control" applied to autonomous vehicles is analyzed. On this basis, using the two conditions of "tracking" and "tracing", a "meaningful human control" framework is constructed around "accountability and transparency" and "value-sensitive design", which may provide systematic methodology guidance for algorithm design of autonomous vehicles.

    Aiming at the four kinds of problems of negative externalities of information science and technology privacy ethical risks in the blank of legislative protection caused by deanonymization, poor management, invalidation of informed consent and group privacy infringement, this paper puts forward and demonstrates the view that "the respective integration of information scientific and technological objects and information scientific and technological subjects' cognitive capacity limitations and onesided values are the two causes of negative externalities of information science and technology privacy ethical risks". Then, based on the analysis of the causes, it puts forward three institutional safeguards that can be governed from the source, namely, the personal information protection fund system, the collective management system of personal information, and the privacy protection design and its institutional safeguards.

    Based on the internal operation logic of artificial intelligence embedded in digital publishing, this paper summarizes the technical risks such as the subject dilemma under the reconstruction of human-computer relationship, copyright crisis under fuzzy data boundary, and cultural attribute withdrawal under algorithm recommendation. It also analyzes ethical dilemmas such as responsibility identification, responsibility evaluation and responsibility assumption encountered in the practice of intelligent publishing. On this basis, suggestions are put forward on strengthening ethical responsibility of the value subject, promoting the improvement of responsibility ethics evaluation mechanism, and promoting the construction of responsibility ethics community.

    The significance of building a Chinese characteristic high-level science and technology ethics governance system should be deeply understood. In this paper, we analyze the advantages for professional social organizations, scientific and technological talents, and non-governmental international exchanges for science and technology societies to participate in science and technology ethics governance. We sort out the role of science and technology societies in the construction of science and technology ethics governance system in terms of value guidance, system standardization, strengthening supervision, cultivating ethical ecology, and enhancing international voice. At the same time, we put forward suggestions on comprehensively improving the ability of scientific and technological societies to participate in scientific and technological ethical governance.
