Firmly grasp the "steering wheel" of science and technology for the good and run out of the "acceleration" of innovation and development

2022-03-22

The development of science and technology has brought new opportunities for human development. The improvement of science and technology is the internal demand for the development of a community with a shared future. Recently, the general office of the CPC Central Committee and the general office of the State Council issued the opinions on strengthening the governance of science and Technology Ethics (hereinafter referred to as the opinions). The publication of the opinions not only sets an ethical bottom line for scientific research, technological development and other scientific and technological activities, but also injects inexhaustible kinetic energy into promoting science and technology to the good and benefit mankind. Technology creates a better life. In recent years, a new round of scientific and technological revolution has advanced by leaps and bounds, changing with each passing day. While profoundly affecting and changing the way of production and life, it also promotes the continuous progress of the times and the rapid development of society. Whether it is the scientific and technological support of the front line of epidemic prevention and control, or the live broadcast of helping farmers in the battlefield of poverty alleviation, whether the "scientific and technological flavor" of the Winter Olympic venue or the "black technology" in medical treatment, the cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements are amazing, which makes us deeply realize the beauty of science and technology for daily life and the promoting effect of science and technology for social development. However, technology can also be a source of risk. Under the scour of the tide of global science and technology, the problems brought by the development of science and technology, such as rule conflict, social risks, ethical challenges and so on, came into being. From stealing users' personal information to algorithmic discrimination and algorithmic control, from concerns about scientific and technological disasters to ethical disputes over Biotechnology... Under the social background of increasing challenges to scientific and technological ethics, the release of the opinions not only meets the practical needs of China's scientific and technological innovation development to advance into a "no man's land", but also resolves scientific and technological ethical risks, and constantly promotes science and technology to be good and benefit mankind A powerful move to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. The opinions not only positively responded to the outstanding pain points of China's current scientific and technological ethics governance system, such as imperfect mechanism, imperfect system and unbalanced field development, but also provided strong guidance for strengthening scientific and technological ethics governance. To promote the improvement of science and technology, we must adhere to foresight and systematicness, and unite governance forces with social consensus. Improving the governance system of collaborative governance is fundamental. The government should strengthen the formulation, review and supervision of norms, universities, scientific research institutions, medical and health institutions, enterprises and other units should fulfill their main responsibilities, scientific and technological social organizations should promote industry self-discipline, and scientific and technological personnel should consciously abide by the requirements of scientific and technological ethics. Strengthening system guarantee, review and supervision is the key. While strengthening the theoretical research of science and technology ethics and improving relevant norms, standards and regulatory systems, we should delimit the red line of science and technology ethics, dynamically monitor and warn the risks of science and technology ethics, and seriously investigate and deal with the violations of science and technology ethics. Education and publicity is the foundation. Colleges and universities are encouraged to set up courses related to science and technology ethics education, incorporate science and technology ethics training into the induction training of scientific and technological personnel, guide and shape the cultural concept of science and technology for the good with diversified education popularization and publicity, and promote the public to enhance the awareness of science and technology ethics and treat science and technology ethics issues rationally. Only by promoting scientific and technological innovation and preventing risks can we truly realize the good of science and technology, better promote economic and social development and better benefit mankind. It is a social consensus that science and technology should be good. The detailed implementation of the opinions will help us firmly grasp the "steering wheel" of science and technology for the good, effectively prevent and control the ethical risks of science and technology, promote the "acceleration" of scientific and technological innovation, and bring more scientific and technological benefits to human society.
