Ethics and Policy Core

项目总结 宾夕法尼亚大学人工智能与技术(PennAITech)合作实验室的目标是识别、开发、 评估、商业化和传播监测老年人和老年人的创新技术 阿尔茨海默病和阿尔茨海默病相关痴呆(AD/ADRD)的家庭环境和 用于分析由这些技术生成的数据的人工智能(AI)方法和软件 改善临床护理。这将帮助年迈的美国人过上安全、社交和积极的生活。到目前为止， 人工智能和监测技术的科学经常超过现有的伦理和政策框架， 独特的伦理和政策对老年人的影响，包括老年人经历认知 下降/损害及其护理伙伴，在很大程度上被忽视。因此，有一个迫切的需要 关于伦理和政策学术-在与人工智能科学和监测技术的对话中 还有衰老科学和AD/ADRD--在整个研究阶段以及在翻译过程中 变成可行的干预措施。为满足这一需要，道德和政策核心将与 PennAITech合作实验室的其他核心关注四个关键问题：促进老年人的自主性 通过平衡有用性和侵入性的考虑来保护老年人；根据 认知和功能衰退造成的脆弱性；减轻偏见和解决健康差距，例如 种族差异和城乡差异；以及保护老年人的数据隐私。为了 为此，道德和政策核心有三个目标：(1)提供指导和培训 PennAITech合作实验室资助的伦理和政策试点项目负责人、实习生和行业领袖 研究开发人工智能健康老龄化方法和技术遇到的问题；(2) 审查使用人工智能方法和技术实现健康老龄化的伦理和政策障碍 不同利益攸关方的观点，包括健康的老年人、患有AD/ADRD的成年人和护理伙伴； 以及(3)作为研究界的国家资源，传播指导方针和最佳 为健康老龄化开发人工智能方法和技术并将其转化为护理的实践 重点关注健康的老年人、患有AD/ADRD的成年人和护理伙伴。这一创新和有影响力的 CORE将由艾米丽·A·拉金特领导，JD，PhD，RN，研究和政策领域的生物伦理和政策问题权威 涉及老年人和AD/ADRD患者的护理，并将聘请一个多学科团队 专家们要达到它的首要目标。

PROJECT SUMMARY The goal of the Penn Artificial Intelligence and Technology (PennAITech) Collaboratory is to identify, develop, evaluate, commercialize, and disseminate innovative technology for monitoring aging adults and persons with Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer’s disease related dementias (AD/ADRD) in their home environment and the artificial intelligence (AI) methods and software for analyzing data generated by those technologies for improving clinical care. This will help aging Americans live safe, social, and engaged lives. To date, the science of AI and monitoring technologies has often outpaced existing ethical and policy frameworks, and the unique ethical and policy implications for older adults, including older adults experiencing cognitive decline/impairment and their care partners, have largely been overlooked. Therefore, there is a critical need for ethics and policy scholarship—in conversation both with the science of AI and monitoring technology and also with the science of aging and AD/ADRD—throughout the research phase, as well as during its translation into viable interventions. To address this need, the Ethics and Policy Core will work in close collaboration with the other PennAITech Collaboratory Cores with a focus on four key issues: promoting the autonomy of older adults by balancing considerations of usefulness and intrusiveness; protecting older adults in light of vulnerability due to cognitive and functional decline; mitigating bias and addressing health disparities, such as racial disparities and urban-rural disparities; and safeguarding the data privacy of older adults. In order to accomplish this, the Ethics and Policy Core has three aims: (1) to provide guidance and training to PennAITech Collaboratory-funded pilot project leaders, trainees, and industry leaders on ethical and policy issues encountered in researching and developing AI methods and technologies for healthy aging; (2) to examine the ethical and policy barriers to using AI methods and technologies for healthy aging from the perspective of diverse stakeholders, including healthy older adults, adults with AD/ADRD, and care partners; and (3) to serve as a national resource for the research community by disseminating guidelines and best practices related to developing AI methods and technologies for healthy aging and translating them into care with a focus on healthy older adults, adults with AD/ADRD, and care partners. This innovative and impactful Core will be led by Emily A. Largent, JD, PhD, RN, an authority on bioethical and policy issues in research and care involving older adults and persons living with AD/ADRD, and it will engage a multidisciplinary team of experts to reach its overarching goal.
