Dr Silvia Salardi
Associate Professor of Philosophy of Law and Bioethics at the University of Milano-Bicocca
- Founder Member of SHADE
Biography
Silvia brings a legal-philosophical approach to the definition and analysis of legal categories involved in the impact of digitalization on environmental sustainability to the SHADE Centre. She undertakes ethical-legal reflection on the utility and implementation of the human rights/fundamental rights framework for the process of technological innovation. Silvia is currently investigating the impacts of artificial intelligence in medicine with a focus on neurotechnologies.
As part of SHADE, Silvia aims to explore how the current EU framework of fundamental rights can guide the reflection on environmental sustainability integrated in the bioethical reflection on digital health. The underpinning philosophical perspective of bioethics is anthropocentric whereas environmental sustainability is currently based on a protectionist approach. The fundamental rights framework and its juridical interpretation can contribute to finding a way to integrate such different approaches.

SHADE Research Hub
SHADE sits at the intersection of Sustainability, Health, AI, Digital technologies and the Environment. SHADE is guided by a fundamental question: How should the balance between AI/digital enabled health and planetary health be struck in different areas of the world, and what should be the guiding principles? To address this SHADE promotes interdisciplinary enquiry to understand and make visible sustainable practices situated in specific geographical and societal contexts. Undertaking both normative and solutions based research, SHADE draws on empirical, epistemic and ethical perspectives from philosophy, law, sociology and ethics, as well as from more quantitative approaches such as life cycle sustainability assessment.
