L’approche ethics-by-design est proposée depuis peu aux développeurs de techniques pour s’assurer que leurs produits se conforment à un certain nombre de valeurs. Cette approche présente l’intérêt d’anticiper les retombées des nouvelles techniques et de proposer des étapes précises pour leur évaluation et leur conception, conformément à des normes éthiques. L’application de cette approche soulève des questions sur la nature des biotechnologies en tant qu’objets destinés à circuler dans la société. La réflexion bioéthique pourrait donc partiellement s’inspirer de cette approche.
Abstract
Ethics-by-design has been developed recently as an approach prompting developers of new technologies to take into consideration ethical issues at the stage of the design process. This approach is guided by the need to anticipate effectively ethical issues that will likely arise with emerging technologies: Embedding ethical considerations at the design stage is a strategy to mitigate early the potential pitfalls of fast-developing tools. At the European level, several guidelines and methodologies have already been proposed, especially in the field of artificial intelligence. This synthesis is a primer on ethics-by-design that sketches a discussion of its roots and principles. Beyond artificial intelligence, it raises also the issue of the extension of ethics-by-design to biotechnologies.
