Ethics and Policy Core

项目摘要 宾夕法尼亚大学人工智能与技术合作实验室的目标是识别、开发、 评估，商业化和传播用于监测老年人和患有糖尿病的人的创新技术 阿尔茨海默病和阿尔茨海默病相关痴呆（AD/ADRD）在他们的家庭环境中， 人工智能（AI）方法和软件，用于分析由这些技术生成的数据， 改善临床护理。这将有助于美国老年人过上安全、社交和参与的生活。迄今为止 人工智能科学和监控技术的发展速度往往超过现有的道德和政策框架， 对老年人的独特伦理和政策影响，包括经历认知障碍的老年人 他们和他们的伴侣，在很大程度上被忽视了。因此，迫切需要 道德和政策咨询-与人工智能科学和监控技术进行对话， 也与衰老和AD/ADRD的科学-在整个研究阶段，以及在其翻译 可行的干预措施。为了满足这一需求，道德操守和政策核心将与以下机构密切合作： 其他PennAITech合作实验室核心，重点是四个关键问题：促进老年人的自主权 通过平衡有用性和侵入性的考虑，保护老年人， 由于认知和功能下降而造成的脆弱性;减少偏见和解决健康差距， 种族差异和城乡差异;以及保护老年人的数据隐私。为了 为了实现这一目标，道德和政策核心有三个目标：（1）提供指导和培训， PennAITech合作资助的道德和政策试点项目领导人，学员和行业领导人 在研究和开发健康老龄化的人工智能方法和技术时遇到的问题;（2） 研究使用人工智能方法和技术促进健康老龄化的道德和政策障碍， 不同利益相关者的观点，包括健康的老年人，AD/ADRD成人和护理伙伴; 和（3）通过传播指导方针和最佳方法， 与开发健康老龄化的人工智能方法和技术并将其转化为护理相关的实践 重点关注健康的老年人、AD/ADRD成人和护理伴侣。这种创新和影响力 核心将由艾米丽A领导。Largent，JD，PhD，RN，研究中的生物伦理和政策问题的权威， 涉及老年人和AD/ADRD患者的护理，并将聘请多学科团队， 专家来实现其总体目标。

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.
