DESCRIPTION:This symposium will bring together experts from a wide range of
  fields to discuss and examine the ethical\, legal\, and social issues of 
 electronic information and communication technology which is developing as
  a science that handles data derived from humans.\n\nWith the development 
 and diffusion of electronic information and communication technology in so
 ciety\, various human-derived data is becoming to be obtained by various m
 ethods besides conventional questionnaire surveys. For example\, we can ac
 quire and analyze traces of communication on the Internet such as social n
 etworking services (SNS)\, and with the development and spread of the Inte
 rnet of Things (IoT)\, also obtaine data on behavior\, and physical and ps
 ychological states directly from people.\n\nOn the other hand\, the broad 
 types of utilization of medical data in society are being promoted for the
  treatment and care of lifestyle-related diseases and diseases having a ge
 netic basis as well as for reduction of medical cost in whole society. If 
 such data will be utilized as learning data for so-called AI(Artificial In
 telligence)\, they are expected to served for doctors&#39; diagnostic support 
 and citizens&#39; self-medication.\n\nHowever\, it is well known that there ar
 e widespread legal\, ethical\, and social problems in the acquisition\, st
 orage\, and utilization of such human-derived data. Research on humans in 
 the field of medical biology is concerned about direct physical and mental
  invasion\, and its ethics and regulations have been steadily improved sin
 ce the Nuremberg Code. Also\, in research in the humanities and social sci
 ences such as psychology\, sociology\, history (oral history)\, and cultur
 al anthropology\, the problems of psychological and social harm due to imp
 roper handling of human-derived data have been disputed about and concerne
 d. It has also been known that legal measures such as the Personal Informa
 tion Protection Law and the Copyright Law cannot sufficiently protect the 
 research subjects and related parties. It has also been concerned that if 
 the research ethics of medical biology and psychology are strictly applied
 \, it may be difficult to carry out social science research.\n\nThis may s
 how that it is inappropriate to simply divert and apply regulations in fie
 lds with strict regulations and research ethics to other types of reserch 
 in the other fields which are differed in the sort and degree of harms and
  in the research methodology from the former fields\, and\, on the other h
 and\,that researches in the latter fields without consideration for ELSI m
 ight bring other types of harms or offences to subjects and have an unexpe
 cted adverse sffect on society which exceeds the benefits the same subject
 s or society might receive. Such research without consideration of ELSI ma
 y lose the trust of the research subjects and the public\, and as a result
 \, it may hinder the acquisition and securing of research resources from w
 ider society and make it impossible to carry out research. Thus\, consider
 ation of ELSI in research is also indispensable for realizing sound resear
 ch\, building and maintaining widespread public trust in the research fiel
 d\, and creating a sustainable and healthy research environment.\n\nIn lig
 ht of the above situation\, this symposium will consider the current ELSI 
 and education of wider range of human-subject research and research on dat
 a derived from humans in the field of electronic information and communica
 tion technology. In addition to the instructors in the &quot;Kokoro-e&quot; section 
 of the MDASH program (Approved Program for Mathematics\, Data sicence and 
 AI Smart Higher Education) of Open Univerisy of Japan(OUJ)\, we welcome re
 seachers in ethics and law related to the utilization of medical data and 
 Internet research ethics. We comprehensively consider and discuss wider ra
 nge of problems on this are with them.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Social Implicat

 hich is developing as a science that handles data derived from humans.&amp;nbs
 p\;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;With the development and diffusion of electronic information a
 nd communication technology in society\, various human-derived data is bec
 oming to be obtained by various methods besides conventional questionnaire
  surveys. For example\, we can acquire and analyze traces of communication
  on the Internet such as social networking services (SNS)\, and with the d
 evelopment and spread of the Internet of Things (IoT)\, also obtaine data 
 on behavior\, and physical and psychological states directly from people.&amp;
 nbsp\;&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;On the other hand\, the broad types of utilization of medic
 al data in society are being promoted for the treatment and care of lifest
 yle-related diseases and diseases having a genetic basis as well as for re
 duction of medical cost in whole society. If such data will be utilized as
  learning data for so-called AI(Artificial Intelligence)\, they are expect
 ed to served for doctors&#39; diagnostic support and citizens&#39; self-medication
 .&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;However\, it is well known that there are widespread legal\, eth
 ical\, and social problems in the acquisition\, storage\, and utilization 
 of such human-derived data. Research on humans in the field of medical bio
 logy is concerned about direct physical and mental invasion\, and its ethi
 cs and regulations have been steadily improved since the Nuremberg Code. A
 lso\, in research in the humanities and social sciences such as psychology
 \, sociology\, history (oral history)\, and cultural anthropology\, the pr
 oblems of psychological and social harm due to improper handling of human-
 derived data have been disputed about and concerned. It has also been know
 n that legal measures such as the Personal Information Protection Law and 
 the Copyright Law cannot sufficiently protect the research subjects and re
 lated parties. It has also been concerned that if the research ethics of m
 edical biology and psychology are strictly applied\, it may be difficult t
 o carry out social science research.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;This may show that it is inap
 propriate to simply divert and apply regulations in fields with strict reg
 ulations and research ethics to other types of reserch in the other fields
  which are differed in the sort and degree of harms and in the research me
 thodology from the former fields\, and\, on the other hand\,that researche
 s in the latter fields without consideration for ELSI might bring other ty
 pes of harms or offences to subjects and have an unexpected adverse sffect
  on society which exceeds the benefits the same subjects or society might 
 receive. Such research without consideration of ELSI may lose the trust of
  the research subjects and the public\, and as a result\, it may hinder th
 e acquisition and securing of research resources from wider society and ma
 ke it impossible to carry out research. Thus\, consideration of ELSI in re
 search is also indispensable for realizing sound research\, building and m
 aintaining widespread public trust in the research field\, and creating a 
 sustainable and healthy research environment.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;In light of the abov
 e situation\, this symposium will consider the current ELSI and education 
 of wider range of human-subject research and research on data derived from

 y. In addition to the instructors in the &quot;Kokoro-e&quot; section of the MDASH p

 hics and law related to the utilization of medical data and Internet resea
 rch ethics. We comprehensively consider and discuss wider range of problem
