Summary: Human centredness is one of the key principles promoted by the European Union (EU) institutions for the ethical, safe, durable and accessible regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies today and in the future. This project will enable an interdisciplinary collaboration to assess whether the principle of human person-centredness is embedded in the legal regulation of AI in the EU, to highlight the importance of human person-centredness, and to provide comprehensive ethical guidance to the developers of the AI legal framework, with a particular focus on the application of AI technologies to the field of research on clintons. Knowledge of law, bioethics and clinton research will contribute to the development of interdisciplinary solutions for the regulation of IoT and to ensure that the technical aspects of cyber security and the ethical aspects of human centricity are inseparable and complementary parts of the IoT legal framework. This project will offer practical regulatory solutions for applied IoT technologies and will enrich research on the ethics and law of IoT when IoT technologies are applied in medicine and Clintonian research.

Outcome: The following outputs of the research project are expected to be published: 3 conference papers presented at international conferences; 3 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals indexed by Scorpus or Web of Science (one accepted for publication; two submitted to the editors; at least one article in a journal ranked Q1-Q2 by Clarivate Analytics); 1 article in Science Popularisation (published) or 1 article in a peer-reviewed scientific journal (accepted for publication). The results of the project will show how European values are incorporated into today’s regulation of the IoT, informing researchers, legislators and the public how human-centred the IoT legal framework is and how to keep it so. It will highlight the importance of European values in the regulation of the IoT. It will engage Lithuanian researchers in the global academic debate on the regulation of IoT, enrich international research with examples of interdisciplinary cooperation, stimulate public interest in the regulation of IoT technologies and the importance of moral values in regulation. The results will also be useful for lawmaking.

The project is funded by the European Social Fund under the measure No 09.3.3-LMT-K-712 “Development of scientific competence of scientists, other researchers and students through practical scientific activities” under the activity “Promotion of post-doctoral internships”. Grant agreement with the Lithuanian Research Council (LMT).
