The panel will be followed by a reception to continue the conversation.
As quantum technology advances rapidly, it is crucial to consider its ethical implications. While quantum applications hold the potential to transform industries, they also pose significant moral challenges. Quantum computers, for instance, could dismantle current encryption methods, jeopardizing data privacy and cybersecurity. Their ability to solve complex problems at unprecedented speeds might create unfair advantages in sectors like finance or defense, further deepening existing inequalities. By addressing these ethical concerns early, we can ensure that quantum technology develops in ways that uphold fairness, privacy, and security for all.
Join us for a discussion hosted by the Research Center on Values in Emerging Science and Technology and the Yale Quantum Institute, with co-sponsorship from QuantumCT, as we explore the insights that experts in quantum technology, ethics, and strategic initiatives can bring to the conversation on quantum ethics. Our goal is to begin formulating approaches to navigate this intricate issue.
The Research Center on Values in Emerging Science and Technology, focuses on issues located at the intersection of science and values as implemented in emerging technologies, such as issues regarding scientific values, computing technology, scientific technologies, scientific practices and human values. https://rcvest.southernct.edu/

An Hour with an Expert: Dr. Tina Rulli
Check out another fascinating installment of An Hour with An Expert hosted by the Research Center on Values in Emerging Science and Technology! SCSU Professor Dr. Sarah Roe (History) and Jen Ng (RC-VEST Intern) team up to ask today’s leading science and industry experts important contemporary questions. Dr. Rulli is an Associate Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of California, Davis. Her research focuses primarily on normative ethics, applied ethics, and bioethics, as much of her work considers the value of creating new lives. Dr. Rulli has researched and written on the value of new genetic technologies such as CRISPR and mitochondrial replacement therapies and has recently begun work on the use of racial categories in genomic science. Dr. Rulli has consistently published high quality work in some of the top journals in our field and continually leads the way in better understanding important areas at the intersection of science and humanities.
