On the Ethical Acceptability of Responsible Innovation Transparency Practices
The inconsistency between acceptance and ethical acceptability of responsible innovation transparency practices,prompts us to examine the is-sues of monitoring,trust,and respect from the perspective of ethical norms.According to the utilitarian ethical principle,non-transparent innovative practices must result in significantly greater harm than short-term benefits when considering overall outcomes.By the principle of deontology,non-transparent innovative practices are driven by deception and a lack of respect for individual autonomy.As a practical exploration of responsibility ethics in the context of modern technological civilization,responsible innovation transparency practice should have corresponding ethical limits,to differentiate it from data"gazing"and monitoring,which only treat people as a means.And responsible innovation transparency practice should create a free environment that can guarantee he informed consent,autonomy of action,mutual trust and respect of innovation actors,bringing greater benefits to society.
