ELSI Research Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab conducts ELSI research, considering the ethical, legal, and social issues of new technologies in advance.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing frameworks to use the power of AI and data safely
The lab studies the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise when new science and technology are introduced into society.
The lab aims to research and develop "social technology" for addressing ELSI in parallel with the research and development of the science and technology itself.
At the Social Technology Research Division of the D3 Center, the lab works on personal data and AI technologies. At the ELSI team of the Human Metaverse Disease Research Hub (PRIMe), it works on biodigital twins.
Researchers with different specialties, nationalities, and backgrounds come together and carry out research that crosses disciplinary boundaries.
Key terms
- ELSI
- An acronym for ethical, legal, and social issues. It covers all issues other than technical ones that may arise when new science and technology are implemented in society.
- Social technology
- Technology for addressing ELSI. It is researched and developed in parallel with the research and development of the science and technology concerned.
- Citizen panel
- A panel established by the ELSI team of PRIMe. The team carries out dialogue with the panel members.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to anticipate and address in advance the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise in the research, development, and social implementation of new science and technology. For personal data and AI technologies, it examines systems, mechanisms, and evaluation methods. For biodigital twins, it examines ways of addressing ELSI.

Focusing on the use of personal data and on AI technologies, the lab identifies ELSI that arise from data acquisition through to the social implementation of technologies and services. It studies systems, mechanisms, and evaluation methods for addressing them in advance.
*Illustrative imageELSI of Biodigital Twins
Within the Human Metaverse Disease Research Hub (PRIMe), the lab anticipates in advance the ELSI that may arise in the research process and social implementation of biodigital twin technology, and examines ways of addressing them. It places importance on discussing these issues with people who stand in the position of future users, and has established a citizen panel to carry out dialogue.
