What do we do?
We inform about new technologies and new inventions.
For example about
- self-driving cars.
These are cars without a driver.
- robots that help people with care.
- new medicines.
- computer programs for blind people.
We consider: What are the consequences of a new technology?
We ask people who have already tried out a new technology.
For example, a robot for nursing:
-
What is good about a care robot?
-
What is bad?
-
Did the care robot help?
-
Or has the care robot done harm?
We call this: technology assessment.
Who do we inform?
We inform the Members of the German Bundestag.
The Members of Parliament
- talk about new laws.
- pass new laws that apply to the whole of Germany.
- vote on what the government wants to spend money on.
Therefore it's important for the Members of Parliament:
- They must be well informed about new technology.
- They must know what consequences a new technology can have for people.
All people should be informed about new technology.
That is why we also put the information on our web·site.
