Artificial Intelligence (AI): social concerns, ethical proposals and political guidance - White Paper (Executive Summary)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is present in the most wide-ranging areas
of knowledge and human activity, in particular in the fields of medicine,
health and in the life sciences, where it has been introduced at an accelerated
pace and in an ever-wider scope of activities, medical specialties, and
clinical procedures.
The National Council of Ethics for Life Sciences (CNECV) aims to examine and deliberate on the ethical problems raised by scientific progress and technological advances. Furthermore, it seeks to contribute to the qualification of public policies and to raise awareness of society in general on these matters. Aware of the importance of an independent, robust, and innovative ethical analysis of the implications of AI on the health sector, the CNECV has set up a Working Group dedicated to this topic. The initiatives carried out by this expert group included debates, hearings, and reports, thus culminating in the issue of the White Paper Artificial Intelligence (AI): Social Concerns, Ethical Proposals, and Political Guidance.
