Have you ever watched cloned dinosaurs (克隆恐龙) go wild in the Jurassic Park movies? It looks fun in movies, but would be terrible if it happened in the real world. We can do lots of things with today’s science and technology. But we also need to be careful about what we shouldn’t do. This is called ethics (伦理).
On March 20, China released its first guideline (指导意见) on ethics in science and technology. The hope is that progress in science – especially life sciences, medicine and AI – will not do harm to human society. Why should we care about ethics in science? Let’s look at three examples. Ethics and AI
In early March, an online video showed Ukraine’s President asked his people to stop fighting against Russia. Many people believed it was real, but it turned out to be a fake video. It was made with AI technology. Such videos are called “deepfakes”. If we don’t have limits (限制) on it, it will make the online world full of untruths (假消息).
Ethics and gene editing (基因编辑)
Imagine making a baby in a lab (实验室) with “perfect”genes (基因). It could be healthy, beautiful and smart. Would you make it?At first this sounds great! But many questions come with it. For example, if only rich people can use this technology, will there be more inequalities (不平
等)?
Ethics and personal data
Apps on our smartphones collect all kinds of data (数据) about our bodies and health. They include how much exercise we do, how much sleep we get, and what we eat. But these data, if not well protected, could cause ethical problems. For example, insurance (保险) companies could use the data to decide if customers deserve (值得) their help. In job markets, companies could also use these data to learn about your health status (情况). That may affect whether you get hired (雇佣).
