THEME
Science determines the welfare of society. However, in the face of modern globalization, scientific and technological development must be guided by ethical norms and principles in order to keep the world safe. The conference will focus on the ethical challenges posed by the modern technology and artificial intelligence (AT). The application of AT in medicine is based on cognitive psychology, neurology, genetics, philosophy, linguistics, mathematics, logic, communication, etc. According to scientific data, it is regulated by the laws of the country, which are formed taking into consideration the traditions of the people, religion, and cultural heritage. Interdisciplinarity and technological advances change attitudes towards medicine and health care, raise the questions on the boundaries of intervention in personal life. Also, they expose existential issues.
