The chapter undertakes a comparison of different approaches to the ethical assessment of novel technologies by looking at two recent research projects. ETICA was a FP7 sister project to PHM-Ethics, responsible for identification and ethical evaluation of information and communication technologies emerging in the next 10-15 years. The aims, methods, outcomes and recommendations of ETICA are compared to those of PHM-Ethics, with identification of linkages and similar findings. A relationship is identified between the two projects, in which the assessment methodologies developed in the projects are shown to operate at separate, but complementary levels. ETICA sought to reform EU ethics governance for emerging ICTs. The outcomes of PHM-Ethics are analyzed within the policy recommendations of ETICA, which demonstrate how the PHM-Ethics toolbox can contribute to ethics governance reform and context-sensitive ethical assessment of the sort called for by ETICA.
本章通过审视两个近期的研究项目，对新技术伦理评估的不同方法进行了比较。ETICA是与PHM - Ethics相关的第七框架计划姊妹项目，负责对未来10 - 15年内出现的信息通信技术进行识别和伦理评估。将ETICA的目标、方法、成果和建议与PHM - Ethics的进行比较，找出两者之间的联系和相似的研究结果。确定了两个项目之间的关系，其中项目中开发的评估方法在不同但互补的层面上发挥作用。ETICA试图改革欧盟针对新兴信息通信技术的伦理治理。在ETICA的政策建议范围内分析了PHM - Ethics的成果，这些成果展示了PHM - Ethics工具箱如何能够促进伦理治理改革以及ETICA所要求的那种情境敏感型伦理评估。
