María Elizabeth de los Rios and José Sols publish the book Bioethics of Artificial Intelligence

This work delves into how the ethics of technology seeks to analyze the way in which technologies build or damage humanity, emphasizing the function of technology as a tool for human development and respect for human dignity.

At the School of Bioethics we congratulate Dr. María Elizabeth de los Rios Uriarte, research coordinator of this School, for her recent work entitled Bioethics of artificial intelligence, which was carried out in conjunction with Dr. José Sols Lucia.

This work is made up of six chapters that analyze artificial intelligence (AI) from the field of Bioethics. It begins with a reflection on how the ethics of technology seeks to analyze the way in which technologies build or damage humanity, emphasizing the role that technology has in serving human development and respect for human dignity.

Subsequently, the historical framework of AI is shown and how its progress has been from its rudimentary beginnings to today's complex systems. Next, the authors reflect on the fundamental role that robotics and artificial intelligence play in everyday life, as well as the concern that this phenomenon generates, thanks to its potential to become autonomous and escape human control.

The authors also highlight the importance of questioning the bioethical implications of the rapid advancement of this technology in fields such as medicine, specifically the problems related to the preservation of equity, the doctor-patient relationship, and technological dependency.

Finally, they extend various recommendations in which they emphasize the relevance of the different ethical frameworks and regulations that exist in relation to the use of AI, among which the Asimov Laws, the Asilomar Principles and the European AI Law stand out.

It is worth mentioning that María Elizabeth de los Rios has a doctorate in Philosophy, a master's degree in Bioethics and a degree in Philosophy. Additionally, she works as a professor, researcher and research coordinator at the School of Bioethics of the Universidad Anáhuac México.

For his part, Dr. José Sols Lucia has a doctorate in Theology and a degree in Contemporary History. He currently works as a professor of Ethics and Theology at the Universidad Iberoamericana.

The book Bioethics of artificial intelligence has been published by the San Pablo publishing house and by the Pontificia Universidad de Comillas in Madrid and is available in Spanish bookstores and soon in bookstores in Mexico City.
