Quantifying water effluent violations and enforcement impacts using causal AI

AbstractIn the landscape of environmental governance, controlling water pollution through the regulation of point sources is vital as it preserves ecosystems, protects human health, ensures legal compliance, and fulfills global environmental responsibilities. Under the Clean Water Act, the integrated compliance information system monitors the compliance and enforcement status of facilities regulated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. This study assesses temporal and geographic trends for effluent violations within the United States and introduces a novel metric for quantifying violation trends at the facility level. Furthermore, we utilize a linear parametric approach for Conditional Average Treatment Effect (CATE) causal analysis to quantify the heterogeneous effects of EPA and state enforcement actions on effluent violation trends at facilities with NPDES permits. Our research reveals insights into national pollutant discharge trends, regional clustering of all pollutant violation types in Ohio ( Z‐score of 2.15), and priority pollutants in West Virginia ( Z‐score of 3.07). The trend metric identifies regulated facilities that struggle with severe and recurring violations. The causal model highlights variations in state compliance and enforcement effectiveness, underscoring the successful moderation of violation trends by states such as Montana and Maryland, among others.

Artificial Intelligence Ethics: A Dialogue between Technological Advances and Human Values

The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has already had a profound impact in various fields, ranging from healthcare and education to transport and finance. However, accompanying these technological advances are a series of complex and profound ethical issues. These issues involve not only data privacy and security, but also challenges of algorithmic bias, fairness, and transparency in decision-making. In addition, the ‘black box’ nature of AI systems blurs the attribution of responsibility and increases society's distrust of the technology. As AI is increasingly used in society, the question of how to find a balance between technological innovation and human values has become an urgent one. While technological advancement can certainly bring efficiency and convenience, the lack of ethical constraints may lead to privacy leakage, unfair decision-making and moral hazard. Therefore, it has become particularly important to establish a sound AI ethical framework to regulate the application of the technology, protect individual privacy, and ensure fairness and transparency. The establishment of an AI ethical framework is not only to regulate the application of the technology, but also to protect social justice and core human values. Through systematic ethical guidelines, moral considerations can be integrated into all stages of technology development and application, providing clear guidelines to help all parties use AI technology under the premise of legal compliance. At the same time, such an ethical framework can also help enhance public trust in AI and promote the healthy development of the technology in a wider range of fields. In conclusion, the rapid development of AI brings unprecedented opportunities and raises profound ethical challenges. We need to ensure the coordinated development of technological progress and social values by establishing a sound ethical framework, and promote AI to move forward in a more responsible, fairer and transparent direction.

Sharing sensitive data in life sciences: an overview of centralized and federated approaches.

Biomedical data are generated and collected from various sources, including medical imaging, laboratory tests and genome sequencing. Sharing these data for research can help address unmet health needs, contribute to scientific breakthroughs, accelerate the development of more effective treatments and inform public health policy. Due to the potential sensitivity of such data, however, privacy concerns have led to policies that restrict data sharing. In addition, sharing sensitive data requires a secure and robust infrastructure with appropriate storage solutions. Here, we examine and compare the centralized and federated data sharing models through the prism of five large-scale and real-world use cases of strategic significance within the European data sharing landscape: the French Health Data Hub, the BBMRI-ERIC Colorectal Cancer Cohort, the federated European Genome-phenome Archive, the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership/OHDSI network and the EBRAINS Medical Informatics Platform. Our analysis indicates that centralized models facilitate data linkage, harmonization and interoperability, while federated models facilitate scaling up and legal compliance, as the data typically reside on the data generator's premises, allowing for better control of how data are shared. This comparative study thus offers guidance on the selection of the most appropriate sharing strategy for sensitive datasets and provides key insights for informed decision-making in data sharing efforts.
