EGE holds joint meeting with the Council of Europe’s Bioethics Committee

On 26 October 2017 the EGE met in Strasbourg to continue its reflections on the ethical implications of the future of work, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics.

The plenary session was also the occasion of a historic joint meeting of the EGE and the Council of Europe’s DH-BIO Group, jointly convened by the European Commission and the Council of Europe. The meeting followed the Council of Europe’s international conference on the 20th anniversary of the Oviedo Convention and provided an opportunity for joint reflection between the two groups on the evolution of ethics and the challenges posed by new scientific and technological developments such as gene editing.
