The debate about the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence dates from 1960s (Samuel in Science, 132(3429):741-742, 1960. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.132.3429.741 ; Wiener Cybernetics: or control and communication animal machine, MIT Press, New York, 1961). However, recent years symbolic AI has been complemented sometimes replaced by (Deep) Neural Networks Machine Learning (ML) techniques. This vastly increased its potential utility impact on society, with consequence that gone...
Abstract The frequency of, and risk factors for, long COVID are unclear among community-based individuals with a history of COVID-19. To elucidate the burden possible causes in community, we coordinated analyses survey data from 6907 self-reported COVID-19 10 UK longitudinal study (LS) samples 1.1 million diagnostic codes electronic healthcare records (EHR) collected by spring 2021. Proportions presumed cases LS reporting any symptoms for 12+ weeks ranged 7.8% 17% (with 1.2 to 4.8%...
Abstract In July 2017, China’s State Council released the country’s strategy for developing artificial intelligence (AI), entitled ‘New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan’ (新一代人工智能发展规划). This outlined aims to become world leader in AI by 2030, monetise into a trillion-yuan (ca. 150 billion dollars) industry, and emerge as driving force defining ethical norms standards AI. Several reports have analysed specific aspects of policies or assessed technical capabilities. Instead,...

Abstract Research on the ethics of algorithms has grown substantially over past decade. Alongside exponential development and application machine learning algorithms, new ethical problems solutions relating to their ubiquitous use in society have been proposed. This article builds a review published 2016 (Mittelstadt et al. Big Data Soc 3(2), 2016). The goals are contribute debate identification analysis implications provide an updated epistemic normative concerns, offer actionable guidance...
As the range of potential uses for Artificial Intelligence (AI), in particular machine learning (ML), has increased, so awareness associated ethical issues. This increased led to realisation that existing legislation and regulation provides insufficient protection individuals, groups, society, environment from AI harms. In response this realisation, there been a proliferation principle-based ethics codes, guidelines frameworks. However, it become increasingly clear significant gap exists...
Background Long COVID describes new or persistent symptoms at least 4 weeks after onset of acute COVID-19. Clinical codes to describe this phenomenon were recently created. Aim To the use long-COVID codes, and variation by general practice, demographic variables, over time. Design setting Population-based cohort study in English primary care. Method Working on behalf NHS England, OpenSAFELY data used encompassing 96% population between 1 February 2020 25 May 2021. The proportion people with...
Abstract By mid-2019 there were more than 80 AI ethics guides available in the public domain. Despite this, 2020 saw numerous news stories break related to ethically questionable uses of AI. In part, this is because theory remains highly abstract, and limited practical applicability those actually responsible for designing algorithms systems. Our previous research sought start closing gap between ‘what’ ‘how’ through creation a searchable typology tools methods designed translate five most...
Background. Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) leads to frailty in older men. The decline testosterone over the life span may contribute this loss. We studied ability oral prevent loss men a 12-month period.

Abstract Background On December 8th 2020, NHS England administered the first COVID-19 vaccination as part of an ambitious programme during a global health emergency. Aims To describe trends and variation in vaccine coverage by key clinical demographic groups; to create framework for near-real-time monitoring subgroups. Methods Working on behalf we analysed 57.9 million patient records situ within infrastructure Electronic Health Record (EHR) software vendors EMIS TPP using OpenSAFELY. We...
This article highlights the limitations of tendency to frame health- and wellbeing-related digital tools (mHealth technologies) as empowering devices, especially they play an increasingly important role in National Health Service (NHS) UK. It argues that mHealth technologies should instead be framed companions. shift from empowerment companionship is advocated by showing conceptual, ethical, methodological issues challenging narrative empowerment, arguing such challenges, well risk medical...

Common mental health disorders are rising globally, creating a strain on public healthcare systems. This has led to renewed interest in the role that digital technologies may have for improving outcomes. One result of this is development and use artificial intelligence assessing, diagnosing, treating issues, which we refer as "digital psychiatry." article focuses increasing psychiatry outside clinical settings, following sectors: education, employment, financial services, social media,...
The European Union (EU) has, with increasing frequency, outlined an intention to strengthen its "digital sovereignty" as a basis for safeguarding values in the digital age.Yet, uncertainty remains how term should be defined, undermining efforts assess success of EU's sovereignty agenda.The task this paper is reduce by i) analysing has been discussed EU institutional actors and placing wider conceptual framework, ii) mapping specific policy areas measures that cite important strengthening...
In this article, we compare the artificial intelligence strategies of China and European Union, assessing key similarities differences regarding what high-level aims each governance strategy are, how development use AI is promoted in public private sectors, whom these policies are meant to benefit. We characterize China’s by its primary focus on fostering innovation a more recent emphasis “common prosperity,” EU’s promoting ethical outcomes through protecting fundamental rights. Building...
