The paper is devoted to investigating the main problems caused by the development of ethical regulation in various fields of professional activity. In the opinion of the author, the problem of ethical regulation is particularly acute in the field of science and innovation, which requires the development of such a direction as ethics of high technologies. The ethics development requires: to elaborate common approaches to ethical regulation, ethical responsibility, ethical expertise; to revise, systematise ethics legislation; to prepare scientifically justified ethics recommendations; to respond timely to ethical problems caused by the emergence and implementation of high technologies. In view of the scope of the tasks that need to be solved, the author believes it is necessary to start the elaboration and implementation of the Ethical Concept of the Russian Federation. This work can be carried out by the Presidential Council on Ethics created by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of the same name. According to the author, possible tasks of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation on Ethics, requiring independent discussion, could include: resolution of issues related to the resolution of individual ethical conflicts (e.g., in the field of high technology and other areas where ethical standards are still developing); appeal against holding individual categories of persons ethically responsible (highest ethical authority).
