Abstract

There is an urgent need to develop tools to enable older adults to live healthy, independent lives for as long as possible. To address this need, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Artificial Intelligence and Technology Collaboratories (AITCs) for Aging Research were created to identify, develop, evaluate, commercialize, and disseminate innovative technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) methods to promote healthy aging and to support persons with Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). In 2023, AITC pilot grant applicants were required to answer questions about how, if at all, they would safeguard older adults' data privacy and confidentiality, advance health equity, address bias, and protect vulnerable participants. Our team analyzed applicants' answers to these ethics-focused questions using a constructivist grounded theory approach. In this article, we present what we learned and discuss modifications to our approach moving forward.

从一开始的伦理：将伦理考虑纳入人工智能技术合作实验室的试点项目。

迫切需要开发工具，使老年人能够尽可能长时间地过健康、独立的生活。为了满足这一需求，美国国家老龄化研究所（NIA）人工智能和老龄化研究技术合作实验室（AITC）成立，旨在识别、开发、评估、商业化和传播创新技术和人工智能（AI）方法，以促进健康老龄化，并为阿尔茨海默病和阿尔茨海默病相关痴呆（AD/ADRD）患者提供支持。2023年，AITC试点资助申请人被要求回答以下问题：如果有的话，他们将如何保护老年人的数据隐私和机密性，促进健康公平，解决偏见，并保护弱势参与者。我们的团队使用建构主义的理论方法分析了申请人对这些以伦理为重点的问题的回答。在本文中，我们将介绍我们所学到的知识，并讨论如何改进我们的方法。
