This book presents cutting edge research on the new ethical challenges posed by biomedical Big Data technologies and practices.

The internet and new technologies present equally new ethical dilemmas: Should we use automated decision-making systems that are incompressible to the people they effect? How should our personal data be handled after our deaths? To what degree can firms and states use our data to make inferences about our activities and wants?
Our researchers work at the forefront of internet ethics. Our projects tackle both theoretical questions – like the possibility of explaining complex ‘black-box’ algorithms – and more practical ones – like the content of a new European ethical code for post-humous medical data donation.

This book presents cutting edge research on the new ethical challenges posed by biomedical Big Data technologies and practices.
This project will evaluate the effectiveness of accountability tools addressing explainability, bias, and fairness in AI. A ‘trustworthiness auditing meta-toolkit’ will be developed and validated via case studies in healthcare and open science.
This project transforms the concept of counterfactual explanations into a practically useful tool for explaining automated black-box decisions.
This project uses legal and ethical analysis to establish the requirements for applying a ‘right to reasonable inferences’ in Europe to protect against privacy-invasive and discriminatory automated decision-making in advertising and financial service

Rather than looking to decentralization of technology alone, we should instead ask what configurations of technology mirror real-world arrangements of decision-making authority that have led to meaningful checks and balances.
