Segun Fatumo, Professor and Chair of Genomic Diversity at
Queen Mary University of London, shares thoughts from his guest presentation at our recent Parliamentary and Scientific Committee event exploring how embedding ethics across the innovation lifecycle can strengthen the UK’s science ecosystem.
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCOB), working in partnership with the Ada Lovelace Institute has published a report warning of the risks to population health and people’s privacy if the NHS was to roll out AI-powered genomic health prediction (AIGHP) technology too soon.
Through mapping existing ethical guidance available to those working in UK-based genomic research and healthcare, we have identified gaps in guidance that need addressing in a coordinated way.
