Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Science and technology (S&T) ethics is the base for promoting the healthy development of S&T, and the governance of emerging technology ethics has become an important part of global S&T ethics governance. This study discusses the ethical governance of leading technologies of the new round of the scientific revolution, such as artificial intelligence, human gene editing and stem cell technology. We analyse the approaches taken by international organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, the World Health Organization and the International Society for Stem Cell Research, as well as the practices of the United States in the fields of emerging technologies. Based on this analysis, we propose relevant policy recommendations.
