Today, the re-care network is gathering at Tokyo University. Pretty exiting. We are discussing themes at the intersection of technology, health, resilience and crisis.

The surgical ethos needs to adapt to these "new players" in the operating theatre with difficult questions regarding responsibility (gaps), surgeons' role in technological innovation and changes in professional relationships ahead.
A graphical illustration of the ethical issues of robotic surgery including economic influences on the surgical process, harms and benefits, questions of responsibility and control, learning and training, translational and justice aspects as well as relational questions.

I second this motion. Also, while we're at it, can we have cool mission badges for each gang?

1/3 Feiertage in Sichtweite. Wir finalisieren gerade noch den ersten Entwurf unserer Leitlinien für den Einsatz sozialer Robotik in der Pflege für das Bundesgesundheitsministerium. Nächstes Jahr wird spannend!
Das auf dem Bild ist übrigens ein Navel. Er ist nicht nur außergewöhnlich niedlich.
Das Bild zeigt einen Navel-Roboter mit einem Lebkuchenherz auf der Brust und blauer Mütze auf dem Kopf vor einem weihnachtlichen Hintergrund. Die Aufschrift lautet "Frohe Festtage und ein gesundes neues Jahr. Herzliche Grüße vom Team Ethik und Digitalisierung. Ethics Lab FGW

Scanning through the additional notes of a paper to find the soulcrushing experience of academic writing.

We all feel your pain, my friend...
A note from a scientific paper reading This paper was developed after attending a conference, Applied Philosophy as Common Ground (Princeton, NJ, 2007); I thank those conference participants for their dialogue. I also thank six anonymous referees from this journal for their comments on an earlier draft and the journal’s editor for facilitating such extensive feedback.

2/2 With this work, we aim to map the ethical landscape of ethical issues in robot-assisted surgery. We identify at least seven tightly interconnected themes and discuss potential shifts in the light of cutting-edge and next-gen devices.

Graphic illustrating key ethical considerations in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). It highlights themes such as economic influence (e.g., incentives for use and industry cooperation), harms and benefits (e.g., patient outcomes and surgeon improvements), responsibility and control (e.g., retrospective and prospective responsibilities), learning and training (e.g., skill acquisition and credentialing), relational questions (e.g., deskilling and distancing), translational aspects (e.g., timing of innovations and research trustworthiness), and justice aspects (e.g., affordability and resource use). A central hub connects these interconnected domains.

This is the culprit. Our Pepper robot with an off-the-shelf care app used in many carehomes for companionship. In conversation mode the app uses #OpenAI's API with a specific role description.

Btw, our robot's name is Theodora. Really cute and fun to talk to.

Besides being a great philosopher, Sune might also have just set a new trend in academia. The AI generated thank-you-slide. Just put "thank you" in your favorite image-generating AI and throw on your slide whatever comes up!

In the second talk of today, Antonia Kempkens from University of Bremen presents her concept of a data trustee to mitigate incentives for data misuse and prevent violation of autonomy in healthcare. Really interesting talk
