This article seeks to trace the implicit notion of responsibility in the bureaucratic steering of biofuel research in India—as a useful entry point to think further on framework of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in India. It concentrates on a specific aspect within the RRI framework in particular—public engagement and concerns for greater participation. By engaging with R&D in biofuel technologies in India, the techno-bureaucratic steering of its trajectories and the emphasis on public engagement within RRI frames, this article seeks to bring focus on how S&T governance in India could in principle be made more responsive to societal needs by motivating positive developments in line with public needs.

Recent years have seen growing enthusiasm for public engagement in priority-setting. But despite this widespread support, there remains uncertainty both about the precise benefits of public engagement in priority-setting and about how public engagement activities should be structured in order to realize those benefits. The authors aim to move beyond generalizations about the value of public engagement by presenting several distinct rationales for engaging the public in priority-setting. The authors illustrate how these rationales can be achieved in practice using the case study of directly observed therapy for tuberculosis. They then highlight a number of practical challenges involved in implementing engagement activities and offer advice for addressing them. The chapter pays particular attention to challenges that arise in low- and middle-income countries, where efforts to engage the public face unique structural barriers.

This paper explores the question of ethical governance for robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) systems. We outline a roadmap—which links a number of elements, including ethics, standards, regulation, responsible research and innovation, and public engagement—as a framework to guide ethical governance in robotics and AI. We argue that ethical governance is essential to building public trust in robotics and AI, and conclude by proposing five pillars of good ethical governance. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Governing artificial intelligence: ethical, legal, and technical opportunities and challenges’.

The “post-truth” age of “alternative facts” suggests both the urgent need for effective science communication and also its failure over the past thirty years. Two sessions at the Science in Public conference explored what could be done. Responsible Research and Innovation is presented as one possible way forward with the NUCLEUS project offered as an example. The result would be to transform “science communication” so that public engagement shares not only knowledge but the power that goes with it.
