Institute For Ethics And Emerging TechnologiesThe Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies was founded in 2004 by philosopher Nick Bostrom and bioethicist James Hughes. The IEET is incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the United States. The IEETs Board of Directors currently come from Spain, Canada, the UK and the United States. By "promoting and publicizing the work of thinkers who examine the social implications of scientific and technological advance," the IEET seeks to contribute to the understanding of the impact of emerging technologies on individuals and societies. The institute also seeks involvement in the shaping of public policies that "distribute the benefits and reduce the risks of technological advancement." The Institute works closely with the World Transhumanist Association, an international membership-based nonprofit organization with similar goals, also founded and chaired by Dr. Bostrom, and which is also served by Dr. Hughes as its Executive Director.
