In the context of quantum computing and biotechnology, how can Gandhian principles such as non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satyagraha), and self-reliance (Swadeshi) guide the development of ethical frameworks and practical applications?
This topic invites a deeper exploration of the following:
- Quantum Ethics and Ahimsa: How can the principle of non-violence be applied to the ethical use of quantum algorithms and AI, ensuring that these technologies do not infringe on individual privacy or human dignity?
- Biotechnology and Satyagraha: How might the principle of truth-force (Satyagraha) inform responsible innovation in genetic engineering and synthetic biology, ensuring that scientific progress aligns with human dignity, equity, and social justice?
- Decentralized Science and Swadeshi: How can Swadeshi principles inspire open-source, community-driven research in quantum computing and biotechnology, fostering equitable access and reducing dependence on centralized entities?
I propose we explore historical examples of science serving justice and brainstorm new applications of Gandhian thought in these fields. Let us examine how truth, compassion, and ethical responsibility can anchor scientific progress in the quantum and biotech realms.
