How to prevent the abuse of face recognition? Automatic driving who pays if there is an accident? Some breakthrough technologies and applications are often accompanied by ethical disputes. After the establishment of the national science and technology ethics committee, China's science and technology ethics governance has issued landmark documents. 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), which made specific arrangements from the aspects of overall requirements, clarifying the principles of science and technology ethics, improving the governance system of science and technology ethics, strengthening the guarantee of science and technology ethics governance system, strengthening the review and supervision of science and technology ethics, and deepening the education and publicity of science and technology ethics. The opinions put forward governance requirements - ethics first, according to law and regulations, agile governance, based on national conditions, openness and cooperation, and clarified the principles of science and technology ethics, including promoting human well-being, respecting the right to life, adhering to fairness and justice, reasonably controlling risks and maintaining openness and transparency. Scientific and technological activities should encourage reasonable participation of stakeholders and the public, and establish a disclosure mechanism for scientific and technological activities involving major and sensitive ethical issues. Strengthen the research on the legislation of science and technology ethics in key fields The 23rd Meeting of the Central Committee for comprehensively deepening reform held in December last year pointed out that since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee has established a national science and technology ethics committee, improved the governance system and mechanism, and promoted positive progress in science and technology ethics governance. We should adhere to the unity of promoting innovation and preventing risks, the combination of institutional norms and self-discipline, strengthen the bottom line thinking and risk awareness, run the requirements of scientific and technological ethics through the whole process of scientific research, technological development and other scientific and technological activities, cover all fields of scientific and technological innovation, strengthen monitoring, early warning and forward-looking research, and respond to regulations in time to ensure that the risks of scientific and technological activities are controllable. We should avoid generalizing scientific and technological ethics and strive to realize the benign interaction between high-quality development of scientific and technological innovation and high-level security. The opinions pointed out that we should formulate and improve the norms and standards of science and technology ethics, establish the review and supervision system of science and technology ethics, improve the legalization level of science and technology ethics governance, and strengthen the theoretical research of science and technology ethics. For example, during the 14th Five Year Plan period, we will focus on strengthening the research on the legislation of science and technology ethics in the fields of life sciences, medicine and artificial intelligence, and timely promote the upgrading of important science and technology ethics into national laws and regulations. Taking artificial intelligence as an example, although AI technology is far from reaching the level of film and television works such as blade runner and Western world, AI technology brings convenience, but there are also various new risks. How to coordinate the relationship between the development of artificial intelligence and ethical governance is particularly urgent. Xue LAN, Dean of Su Shimin College of Tsinghua University and director of the national new generation artificial intelligence governance professional committee, once said in an exclusive interview with the first financial reporter that if the governance of artificial intelligence fails to keep up, it may not only bring various risks to the society, but also restrict the development of AI itself to some extent. He told reporters that the biggest challenge facing AI governance at present is that we do not have a relatively mature system to regulate its potential risks, which is different from the past. Because we have been using relatively mature technologies before, China can learn from the experience of other countries in governing these technologies. The difference now is that under the background of the fourth industrial revolution, China's artificial intelligence technology is in the development period like other countries, so everyone has no ready-made regulation system. In this way, while developing science and technology, we are also developing our regulatory system at the same time. "This may be the biggest challenge facing the development of artificial intelligence." Xue Lan said that in the field of science and technology, many technologies are like two sides of a coin. While bringing positive effects, there will also be risks, and artificial intelligence may only be a prominent field. Ethical responsibility of scientific researchers The opinions mentioned that it is necessary to improve the government's science and technology ethics management system, compact the responsibility of innovation subjects, give full play to the role of scientific and technological social groups, and guide scientific and technological personnel to consciously abide by the requirements of science and technology ethics. For example, scientific and technological personnel should take the initiative to learn the knowledge of scientific and technological ethics, enhance the awareness of scientific and technological ethics, consciously practice the principles of scientific and technological ethics, adhere to the bottom line of scientific and technological ethics, and actively report and resolutely resist any behavior that violates the requirements of scientific and technological ethics. The person in charge of scientific and technological projects (Topics) shall carry out research in strict accordance with the scope of scientific and technological ethics review and approval, strengthen the ethical management of team members and the whole process of project (Topics) research, and the release, dissemination and application of research results involving scientific and Technological Ethics sensitive issues shall comply with relevant regulations, be rigorous and prudent. Just recently, the Ministry of science and technology announced the investigation and handling results of more than 50 integrity cases of medical research in educational and medical institutions, and many people were disqualified from applying for science and technology plan projects for life. A double first-class college teacher who has applied for many scientific research projects told China business that at present, there are more and more deregulation policies from the central government to the local government, but there are still some gaps in the actual operation process, because there are indeed problems in the style and integrity of some scientific researchers, and the trust mechanism needs to be gradually established. After this mechanism is established, there may be fewer application processes and links, They will also have more time to invest in scientific research. (Xinhua News Agency)
