P7000 Addressing Ethical Concerns during System Design

Der Vortrag findet teils in deutscher und teils in englischer Sprache statt.

ABSTRACT
IEEE P7000 is the first global standard of engineering design that integrates human-centric value implications and consequences with system requirements. P7000 design processes enable long-term sustainability of value-enhanced autonomous intelligent systems (AI/S). The model is relevant to individuals and organizations who follow socio-technical best practices in the design of AI/S and have a commitment towards the betterment of humanity.
The model is two phased with four stages. Phase 1 investigates the environment within which the AI/S would operate. Integral is the elicitation of the ethical expectations of stakeholders. Stakeholder values are then translated within the development phase into system requirements where the design has built in the ethical values of stakeholders along with mitigation of potential harmful outcomes that could compromise the wellbeing of individuals and society.
P7000 is a model that aligns with existing engineering processes and supports requirements for ethical AI/S certification through CertifAIEd.
Receiving the CertifAIEd mark affirms an organization’s commitment to upholding human values, dignity, and well-being, and to respecting, protecting and preserving fundamental human rights.
