Remembering Dr. Pravin Kumar Kushwaha | Watch An Audio-Visual Tribute
Condolence Message
Dr. Kushwaha joined the Centre for Studies in Science Policy, JNU in 2005 as an MPhil student and completed his PhD in 2015 on "Vulnerability and the Paradigm Shift: Debating India's Disaster Management Framework". He was a bright student and very much dedicated to his research work. He participated in many conferences, seminars and workshops in India and abroad. Dr. Pravin was a well-read person in the area of technology, sustainability and urbanisation. His views and opinions received appreciation from his peers.
After completing his PhD, he joined JNU Trans disciplinary Research Cluster (JNU-TRCSS) as a post-doctoral researcher and was continuing as South Asia Sustainability Studies Hub and Knowledge Network (SASH&KN) Administrator. He was actively involved in the implementation of STEPS International Social Science Council (ISSC) project and the ongoing DST project in Gurgaon. His work for TRCSS too was highly appreciated and duly acknowledged by the academic community and his colleagues in Gurgaon Water Forum GWF and STEPS Centre Consortia spread over six continents.
It is an irreparable loss to the JNU community, particularly the research fraternity on Science Policy and Sustainability Studies. We pray to the God Almighty to give strength to his wife Dr Shweta Anand, his son Master Harsh and other family members to bear this loss.

New Book "Artificial Intelligence for a Better Future: An Ecosystem Perspective on the Ethics of AI and Emerging Digital Technologies"
New Book
Artificial Intelligence for a Better Future: An Ecosystem Perspective on the Ethics of AI and Emerging Digital Technologies. by Bernd Carsten Stahl, Springer, 2021, ISBN: 9783030699789.
About the Book: This open access book proposes a novel approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics. AI offers many advantages: better and faster medical diagnoses, improved business processes and efficiency, and the automation of boring work. But undesirable and ethically problematic consequences are possible too: biases and discrimination, breaches of privacy and security, and societal distortions such as unemployment, economic exploitation and weakened democratic processes. There is even a prospect, ultimately, of super-intelligent machines replacing humans. The key question, then, is: how can we benefit from AI while addressing its ethical problems? This book presents an innovative answer to the question by presenting a different perspective on AI and its ethical consequences. Instead of looking at individual AI techniques, applications or ethical issues, we can understand AI as a system of ecosystems, consisting of numerous interdependent technologies, applications and stakeholders. Developing this idea, the book explores how AI ecosystems can be shaped to foster human flourishing. Drawing on rich empirical insights and detailed conceptual analysis, it suggests practical measures to ensure that AI is used to make the world a better place.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Ethics of Technology, Computer Ethics, Information Ethics, Responsible Research and Innovation, Innovation Ecosystem, Engineering Ethics, Corporate Social Responsibility, Open Access

UNESCO welcomes move to lift the patent on the vaccines and pushes for open science
UNESCO Press Release 2021 No. 42
UNESCO welcomes move to lift the patent on the vaccines and pushes for Open Science
Paris, 7 May -"The decision of the United States and many other countries to call for the lifting of patent protection for coronavirus vaccines could save millions of lives and serve as a blueprint for the future of scientific cooperation. COVID-19 does not respect borders. No country will be safe until the people of every country have access to the vaccine," said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay.
This growing momentum comes in response to the joint appeal made by UNESCO, the WHO and the UNHCR to open up science and boost scientific cooperation in October 2020. Early in the pandemic last spring, UNESCO mobilized over 122 countries to promote Open Science and reinforced international cooperation.
The pandemic triggered strong support for Open Science among Member States for this agenda. Chinese scientists sequenced the genome of the new coronavirus on 11 January 2020 and posted it online, enabling German scientists to develop a screening test, which was then shared by the World Health Organization with governments everywhere.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the world has embarked on a new era of scientific research, forcing all countries to construct the shared rules and common norms we need to work more effectively in these changing times.
The recent announcements of countries in favor of lifting patents show the growing support for open scientific cooperation. They also coincide with the five-day meeting of UNESCO Member States to define a global standard-setting framework on Open Science, which aims to develop new models for the circulation of scientific knowledge and its benefits, including global commons.
The outcomes of the meeting will lead to a Global Recommendation on Open Science to be adopted by UNESCO's 193 Member States at the Organization's General Conference in November 2021. This Recommendation aims to be a driver for shared global access to data, publications, patents, software, educational resources and technological innovations and to reengage all of society in science.
