In today's
world, people are enjoying unprecedented technological development dividends,
and they are also facing unprecedented technological ethics risks. How to
manage the ethical issues in the development of science and technology, and
prevent the abuse of science and technology, evil of science and technology,
and academic misconduct? It is urgent to improve the scientific and technological
ethics governance system, including improving the academic research mechanism
of scientific and technological ethics governance, improving the scientific and
technological ethics supervision system, and establishing a self-discipline
mechanism for scientific and technological personnel.
Improve the academic research mechanism of scientific and technological ethics governance
Improving
the academic research mechanism of scientific and technological ethics
governance is an important basis for improving the scientific and technological
ethics governance system. Researchers of science and technology ethics need to
combine the current situation of high-tech development, pay attention not only
to the basic theoretical research of science and technology ethics governance,
but also to its application research, and to speed up the construction of a
disciplinary system, academic system and discourse system with its own
characteristics.
Strengthen
the construction of scientific and technological ethics research teams. my
country's scientific and technological ethics research belongs to an applied
branch of ethics research. At present, there are few researchers and the
strength is relatively scattered. Some researchers can only make post-event
evaluations of science and technology ethics, and it is difficult to provide
effective solutions for science and technology ethics governance. In this
regard, it is urgent to improve the funding and incentive mechanism for
scientific and technological ethics research, organically combine incentives
and constraints, and create a good academic and social atmosphere for
scientific and technological ethics researchers to boldly innovate and launch
high-quality research results. Continuously improve the talent introduction
mechanism, attract more ethic workers to participate in scientific and
technological ethics research, and strive to build a scientific and
technological ethics research team that not only understands technology but
also has ethical literacy.
Improve the
multidisciplinary research collaboration mechanism. Science and technology
ethics research covers natural science, engineering technology and other
fields, involving philosophy, law, sociology and other majors. With the rapid
development of high-tech, scientific and technological ethics research is
increasingly showing an interdisciplinary trend. This requires improving the
multidisciplinary research collaboration mechanism, strengthening the exchange,
dialogue and cooperation between scientific and technological ethics
researchers and experts and scholars from other disciplines, brainstorming and
pooling their efforts, providing theoretical support for my country's
scientific and technological ethics governance decision-making, and providing
consultation for practical scientific and technological ethics problem solving.
suggestion.
Improve the
international cooperative research mechanism. Research on scientific and
technological ethics governance involves a series of major practical issues
such as intellectual property protection, scientific and technological social
responsibility, and scientific research behavior norms. To improve the academic
research mechanism of science and technology ethics governance in my country,
it is necessary to improve the international cooperative research mechanism,
strengthen international exchanges, dialogue and cooperation, and learn from
the advanced experience of international science and technology ethics
governance;
Improve the technology ethics supervision system
Improving
the scientific and technological ethics supervision system is an important
guarantee for the effective implementation of scientific and technological
ethics governance. At present, it is necessary to accelerate the construction
of a sound and effective scientific and technological ethics supervision system
covering the whole society, in order to strengthen ethical supervision, refine
relevant laws and regulations and ethical review rules, and regulate various
scientific research activities.
Establish a
guiding mechanism for scientific and technological activities to do good deeds.
In today's society, scientific and technological activities have become a
wide-ranging social activity, involving natural science, engineering technology
and many other fields. Scientific and technological activities in these fields
may have ethical issues, which may bring risks or harm to society. To
effectively prevent and control risks or hazards, it is necessary to
continuously strengthen the supervision of science and technology ethics,
establish a guiding mechanism for science and technology activities to do good
deeds, provide scientific and technological activities with value guidance that
is conducive to promoting social progress and human development, and promote
scientific and technological personnel to establish correct ethics and
technology. view, and strengthen the responsibility and responsibility to the
society.
Establish a
scientific and technological ethics standard system. In order to carry out
scientific research activities in a proper and orderly manner, and to prevent
the use of science and technology for evil, it is necessary to establish a
scientific and technological ethics norm system, including a scientific and
technological ethics rules system and a supervision system to ensure its
implementation. Generally speaking, scientific and technological activities
mainly include topics such as topic selection, planning, research, and
experiments. It is the basic task of scientific and technological ethics
governance to effectively regulate each link on the basis of scientific and
technological ethics norms. To improve the scientific and technological ethics
supervision system, it is necessary to track and supervise the whole process of
scientific research activities in accordance with the scientific and
technological ethics norms, to discover and correct various scientific and
technological ethics problems, to punish academic misconduct, and to guard
against impetuousness. For example, "deep forgery" based on
technologies such as face recognition and voice recognition cannot be
prevented, and legal norms for technological development must be strengthened.
Improve
scientific and technological ethics supervision procedures. To improve the
scientific and technological ethics supervision system, it is necessary to
improve both the supervision rules and the supervision procedures, so that
there is no dead angle in the supervision field and the supervision process is
organically connected. To effectively manage scientific and technological
misconduct and control scientific and technological risks within a socially
acceptable range, it is necessary to continuously improve the scientific and
technological ethics supervision system and rule system, strengthen the
horizontal connection of regulatory agencies, and expand the coverage of
supervision. At the same time, improve the scientific and technological ethics
supervision procedures, and make the supervision process rational and
well-founded through open and transparent rules-making, trial and approval, and
monitoring procedures. Adhere to ethics first, establish "adaptive
governance" based on the principle of prevention, and continuously improve
the assessment and supervision of scientific and technological ethical risks.
Form a
synergy of scientific and technological ethics supervision. In order to improve
the scientific and technological ethics supervision system, it is urgent to
realize the institutionalization of scientific and technological ethics
governance and the responsibility of supervisory subjects, so as to promote
each subject to perform their own duties, cooperate closely, and coordinately
promote scientific and technological ethics governance. Ethical governance of
science and technology is a kind of social governance, which not only needs to
increase the intensity of government supervision, but also needs to give full
play to the role of relevant social organizations. Give full play to the
planning, guidance and supervision functions of the National Science and
Technology Ethics Committee, promote the establishment of science and
technology ethics committees by scientific research units and related
enterprises, and focus on giving full play to the role of associations at all
levels and various professional societies or associations in science and
technology, so as to form a joint force in the supervision of science and
technology ethics .
Establish a self-discipline mechanism for scientific and technological personnel
To prevent
the misuse of technology and other possible risks or harms, it is urgent to
establish a self-discipline mechanism for scientific and technological
personnel.
Increase
self-discipline. Guiding scientific and technological personnel to strengthen
moral cultivation, improve moral quality, and promote the internalization of
scientific and technological ethics in the heart and the externalization of
science and technology ethics is an important focus of scientific and
technological ethics governance. Moral quality includes correct moral view,
good moral character, noble moral emotion and proper moral behavior. Only by
becoming virtuous people first can scientific and technological personnel
become virtuous scientific and technological personnel; only by continuously
enhancing their self-discipline awareness can they "do not violate the
rules" in scientific and technological activities. If there is a lack of
self-discipline, scientific and technological personnel may violate the law or
even violate the law without supervision. With self-discipline, scientific and
technological personnel can consciously abide by scientific and technological
ethics and scientific research norms, sit on the "cold bench", endure
loneliness, withstand temptation, and keep the bottom line, and truly unify
life, work, and knowledge. Therefore, scientific and technological ethics
governance needs to be organically combined with moral education, and efforts
should be made to improve the consciousness of scientific and technological
personnel's moral cultivation.
Establish a
correct view of science and technology. Values are an important factor in
determining what kind of person a person becomes, and the scientific and
technological views of scientific and technological personnel are an important
embodiment of their values. The premise of scientific and technological
personnel possessing due moral quality is to establish a scientific and
technological concept that reflects social moral norms and moral ideals. The
correct concept of science and technology can be understood as the
"dao" of scientific and technological personnel, and the moral
quality can be regarded as "virtue". Under the guidance of the
correct concept of science and technology, while feeling honored and proud of
their profession, scientists and technicians need to respect and cherish their
profession, consciously integrate scientific and technological ethics into
their work, and be enthusiastic about starting a business.
Create a
good atmosphere. The establishment of the self-discipline mechanism of
scientific and technological personnel mainly depends on the scientific and
technological personnel as the main body of scientific and technological
activities, and cannot do without the role of scientific and technological
units and related organizations. All kinds of scientific and technological
societies and associations need to strengthen the education and training of
scientific and technological personnel on the correct scientific and
technological concept, scientific and technological ethics and moral quality,
and make them standardized and institutionalized. All relevant units and
organizations need to improve the incentive mechanism, take the moral quality
and scientific and technological ethics performance of scientific and
technological personnel as an important condition for applying for scientific
research projects, talent projects, and award projects, and create a good
atmosphere in the scientific and technological circles to promote good and
suppress evil, and eliminate evil for good. , encourage and support scientific
and technological personnel to pursue the unity of truth and value, the unity
of regularity and purpose in scientific and technological activities, and
firmly hold the bottom line of scientific and technological ethics.
