1. Institutional Profile

The Ethics in Science and Technology Rapid-response Center (ESTRC) is the world’s first rapid-response organization dedicated to addressing emergencies in technology ethics. It provides immediate assessment, intervention, and solutions during crises such as AI malfunctions, gene editing misuse, and data breaches to ensure the safe development of technology.

2. Core Business

ESTRC focuses on three key areas: crisis early warning, rapid response, and ethical restoration.

Business Sector	Core Functions
Ethical Crisis Early Warning	Real-time scanning of potential ethical risks in global technology applications via AI ethics monitoring systems
Rapid Response Intervention	Deployment of multinational expert teams to crisis sites within 72 hours (e.g., investigation of fatal autonomous vehicle accidents, halting unauthorized gene editing)
Ethical Ecosystem Restoration	Post-crisis ethical reconstruction plans (e.g., algorithm resets, psychological interventions for affected groups, industry standard revisions)

3. Technology Ethics Emergency Response Framework

Five-Phase Response Mechanism:

Phase	Key Actions	Responsible Team	Timeframe
1. Monitoring & Identification	– Trigger “Technology Ethics Radar” early warning system – Conduct preliminary risk assessment (using ETHICS-SCORE scoring model)	Early Warning Monitoring Department	Real-time response
2. Crisis Classification	– Convene emergency expert joint meeting – Determine response level (Red/Orange/Yellow) and action plan	Crisis Assessment Committee	Within 2 hours
3. Rapid Intervention	– Dispatch rapid response team – Implement emergency measures (e.g., technical isolation, legal suspension)	Rapid Response Team + Legal Support Unit	Deployment within 24 hours
4. Impact Control	– Activate public communication mechanism – Coordinate joint actions with multinational agencies	Public Communication Department + International Cooperation Department	Full coverage within 48 hours
5. Systemic Restoration	– Publish “Ethical Restoration White Paper” – Promote technology standard iterations and industry regulation updates	Ethical Restoration Research Institute	Completion within 90 days
