How can accountable AI, data and related digital systems support or even improve the quality of life? How about the quality of life for persons such as post-cure cancer patients? Why does (EU Horizon) project ASCAPE focus on that? Are patient comfortable enough to share their personal data? How to cater for that? How, when and on what to inform them? Who makes the decisions? Who is accountable for the AI, including input provenance, algorithms, throughput, output and related impact? This, also looking at the ecosystem needed, such as technology providers, data providers/processors, physician, medical specialist, hospital, pharmaceutical or other? What next in or beyond project ASCAPE?

How about ethics? What has changed since then? Why is accountability in this Digital Age nowadays so important? And, who raised the issue to take in accountability? To what extent is technology neutral? Where technology is designed for use as has become a need to have, does that change whether technology can be seem as neutral or not? What types and levels of accountability does each stakeholder have? How to make accountability part of the design phase, and not a mere afterthought? What should be the role engineers and engineering managers? Where digital ecosystems are global, how to facilitate that, and who could cater for that? Who to invite at the table? How to leave nobody behind? These and other key topics are addressed in this Dialogue with Prof. Gong Ke, Immediate Past President, World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO).
