- Abstract
Today the problems of social and humanitarian risks of the development of NBIC technologies (N — nanotechnology, B — biotechnology, I — information technology, C — cognitive science) are widely discussed in the philosophical and scientific community. NBIC convergence is the supposed scientific basis of the VI technological structure, consisting in combining and mutually reinforcing the achievements of nano-, bio-, info- and cognitive technologies in order to solve the problems facing humanity. The article discusses the risks associated with these technologies. They are closely related to such problems as interdisciplinary examination and selection of optimal projects for the development of the techno-anthroposphere at the initial stage of the sixth technological structure, as well as the foresight methodology, the risks of making decisions in conditions of instability and working with BigData. In the context of bioethics, ethical evaluation of biomedicine is being studied. A broader sociotechnological examination and the development of ethical and value systems for forming the future are also needed. On this basis, global bioethics and humanitarian evaluation have been developed. The authors reveal the main aspects of humanitarian evaluation, its capabilities in determining risks and managing them.
