IEEE Ethics for AI System Design Training

In an era where technology shapes our world, ethical considerations are paramount. The IEEE Ethics for AI System Design Training equips professionals and organizations to integrate ethical values along with functional values in designing and developing systems.

1. Foundations of Ethical Design: Understand the IEEE 7000 standard principles and their practical implications. Learn how to weave ethics into the fabric of system architecture.
2. Elicitation Techniques: Master the art of gathering ethical values. Explore methods to identify, prioritize, and incorporate these values seamlessly.
3. Integration Strategies: Dive into weaving ethical values into system design and development. Discover how to harmonize ethical and functional requirements, fostering trust and reliability.
4. Risk Mitigation: Systems developed through this process are inherently trustworthy. Reduce risks associated with unintended consequences or ethical oversights.

Upon completing the course, participants will undertake a proctored assessment to demonstrate their mastery of ethically aligned system design principles. Successful candidates will receive a digital certificate and badge, recognizing their achievement and enabling them to showcase their expertise across professional platforms.

The target audience for IEEE 7000 includes a broad range of professionals and organizations involved in the system design process. Here are some of the key groups:

• System Engineers and Designers: Individuals who are directly involved in the creation and development of systems, ensuring that ethical considerations are integrated into the engineering process.
• Management Teams: Leaders and managers including Project Managers, Business Analyst who oversee the development of systems and are responsible for incorporating ethical values into the design and operational strategies.
• Ethicists and Value Leads: Professionals who specialize in Data protection or ethics and are tasked with bridging the gap between engineering, management, and ethical values in a constructive way.
• Regulatory Bodies: Organizations that set standards and regulations for system design, particularly those that are concerned with ethical implications and societal impact.
• End Users and Customers: While not directly involved in the design process, the end users’ values and ethical concerns are central to the IEEE 7000 process, and their feedback and defining the requirements is crucial for value-based engineering.
• Academics and Researchers: Individuals in academia who study and contribute to the field of ethical system design, and who can use IEEE 7000 as a framework for teaching and research.
• Policy Makers: Government officials and policy makers who are interested in promoting ethical standards in technology development and can use IEEE 7000 to inform policy decisions.
• Industry Associations: Groups that represent the interests of specific industries and can advocate for the adoption of ethical standards like IEEE 7000 among their members.
• Technology Innovators: Companies and startups that aim to lead in innovation while ensuring that their products and services align with ethical standards and societal values.

Overall, IEEE 7000 is designed to be applicable across various industries and sectors, providing a universal framework for addressing ethical concerns in system design.

• Competitive Edge: Certified professionals gain a competitive advantage. Organizations with ethically aligned systems thrive in an increasingly conscientious marketplace.
• Business Expansion: Trust is the currency of success. By integrating ethical values, you position your organization for growth and resilience.
