The Human Being Facing New Biomedical Technology, Including the Subject of Big Data, the role of Artificial Intelligence for their Analysis, Genome Editing and Personal Medicine.
Session 2019 de l’Académie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences, 11-14 August 2019
Faculty of Architecture, Czech Technical University, Prague, 11-14 Agust 2019
Program
Scientific committee: Anne Fagot-Largeault, Dominique Lambert
In recent decades, new technologies have changed our understanding of the human body. This symposium is addressed to probe the philosophical implications of some major shifts in medical and biological sciences with respect to cognitive and ethical values. Examples to be discussed concern three big areas. The first is the digital access to data: for example studies of microbiota concerning the intestinal, vaginal, dermal, buccal, ocular etc. have a great success, but also lead to the danger of the enslavement and the manipulation of the crowds. The second area, artificial intelligence, brings a new dimension to image interpretation in radiology, pathology, oncology, dermatology, tumor growth modeling, genomics, drug discovery and pharmacovigilance. How to respond to the challenge of trust and how to define the legal personality involved? The third area, theranostics, is one step towards a more personalized medicine by delivering therapy and then examining the effect. Originally used to study the genome in order to classify people according to the type of disease or fragility they may have, theranostics is now used by companies like 23andMe, Navigeniss, Illumina etc. to provide people with the deciphering of their genome, which presumably could be useful for the diagnosis of diseases, or even the prediction of possible weaknesses and damages. In this respect, the problem of inequality between individuals and social groups induced by the costs of these targeted therapies arises in all its sharpness.
