Abstract

Participation in research is supposed to be voluntary and informed. Yet it is difficult to ensure people are adequately informed about the potential uses of their biological materials when they donate samples for future research. We propose a novel consent framework which we call "demonstrated consent" that leverages blockchain technology and generative AI to address this problem. In a demonstrated consent model, each donated sample is associated with a unique non-fungible token (NFT) on a blockchain, which records in its metadata information about the planned and past uses of the sample in research, and is updated with each use of the sample. This information is accessible to a large language model (LLM) customized to present this information in an understandable and interactive manner. Thus, our model uses blockchain and generative AI technologies to track, make available, and explain information regarding planned and past uses of donated samples.

利用区块链和生成式人工智能实现生物银行的示范同意。
参与研究应该是自愿和知情的。然而,要确保人们在为未来研究捐赠样本时充分了解其生物材料的潜在用途却很困难。我们提出了一个新颖的同意框架,我们称之为 "展示同意",它利用区块链技术和生成式人工智能来解决这个问题。在 "证明同意 "模型中,每个捐赠样本都与区块链上唯一的不可篡改代币(NFT)相关联,该代币的元数据中记录了样本在研究中的计划用途和过去用途的信息,并随着样本的每次使用而更新。这些信息可通过定制的大型语言模型(LLM)获取,以可理解和交互的方式呈现这些信息。因此,我们的模型使用区块链和生成式人工智能技术来跟踪、提供和解释有关捐赠样本的计划用途和过去用途的信息。
