The policy conference on Radio-frequency identification (RFID) and responsible innovation held in Paris on 14 March 2014 certainly constituted a first step towards the elaboration of a “positive compromise”, as put in the conference report now available in English here, as part of the Observatory for Responsible Innovation’s on-line journal. From the introduction:
“This is not about steering fears and fostering preoccupations. The question at stake is the definition of a novel compromise between the economic potentials and the respect of the essential pillars of social life, civil liberties, health and environmental protection. The key is the reflexive intervention of society in a domain that is far from being purely technical.” (p. 11)
