Marcelo de Araujo, professor of philosophy of law at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (@profdraraujo<\/a>,<\/u>) said debates around COVID-19 vaccination show the prevalence of strong feelings about what could or should go inside our bodies, even for medical reasons. He stressed the importance of giving room to discuss concerns upfront.

\nKaspersky\u2019s research agrees concerns are common. A survey of nearly 14,500 people in 16 countries found most support human augmentation used for the good of humanity<\/a>, but almost all had concerns about cybersecurity (88 percent) and many worried only the wealthy would have access (69 percent.)<\/p>\nChekh of Motorica says his company already gets approached by people who want to remove a healthy limb and replace it with a prosthetic. \u201cIt\u2019s a big ethical question. Another example: A client\u2019s prosthetic arm was broken in an assault. Is the crime breaking someone\u2019s device or arm? The prosthesis is part of their body for our clients \u2013 it\u2019s not like a smartphone. We should address these ethical questions in the development process.\u201d<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Prioritize uses that reduce inequality<\/h2>\n
Tristan Vouga, co-founder and mechanics designer for powered exoskeleton creators TWIICE<\/a>, believes augmentation technologies can vastly improve access for people with disabilities. But,<\/p>\nAugmentation technology is only ethical if it\u2019s meant to reduce rather than increase inequality between people.<\/p>\nTristan Vouga, co-founder and mechanics designer, TWIICE powered exoskeleton creators <\/p><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n
To improve financial access to their powered exoskeletons, TWIICE lets customers hire the technology when they need it. They have also embedded considering of inequality and ethics in their process for choosing ideas to develop.<\/p>\n
Jorge Quevedo is co-founder of Robotics Lab<\/a>, which makes robots tailored for sectors like logistics and healthcare<\/a>. He believes while we should prioritize uses of augmentation that help people, such as medical and mobility, it may be unwise to restrict other uses, because advances for any use will benefit all uses. He says instead, government funding and private sector investment should steer towards inequality-reducing augmentation uses.<\/p>\n4.\u00a0 Consider security early in the process<\/h2>\n
The first step to better security is not thinking about security when the product is done and ready to ship, but instead, as early as possible in the development process. I said, \u201cWhen security isn\u2019t considered upfront, we see easily avoided mistakes. For example, many IoT devices lack a way to update, so there\u2019s no way to correct a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
I believe businesses must involve the right expertise to understand their security needs, and it needn\u2019t be a struggle. \u201cSecurity is a huge global community \u2013 you\u2019ll find someone near you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quevedo of Robotics Lab said with the speed augmentation technology is progressing, we shouldn\u2019t wait for the technologies to cause problems before we put security protocols in place.<\/p>\n
