Similarly, a code could bring clarity to research. The Minister suggested last week that those objecting to the Government’s broadening of “scientific research” did not understand the role of research. I dispute that, and I look forward to her letter that says whether or not making a product more addictive to children could be reasonably said to be scientific, given that it involves A/B testing of children at scale. The code suggested by this amendment would clarify the distinction between research and product development in edtech by outlining when research ethics should apply in delineating institutional responsibilities when engaging in collaborative projects.
