Value-Based Engineering With IEEE 7000.

In recent years, there has been a steady increase in awareness of the need to design technology more ethically. The crashes of two Boeing 737 MAX airplanes as well as the Volkswagen scandal have contributed to the questioning of ethical practices in classic engineering departments. Several studies revealed the potential bias and manipulability of software systems, including critical judicial systems and social networks. The lack of artificial intelligence (AI) transparency became subject to a stream of criticism. To the positive surprise of long-term scholars in the social issues of technology, the IT industry woke up to the need for a more forward-looking, responsible, and ethical planning of IT systems.
