From Ethics to Innovation: A Common Code
behavior, technologists in the algorithmic era need to
utilize methodologies that provide more rigorous due
diligence regarding the values of stakeholders and end
users than they may be using today. Examples of these
methodologies along these lines include Value Sensitive
Design and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI).
As the RRI Tools website notes, this means, "Involving
society in science and innovation 'very upstream'
in the processes of R&I to align its outcomes with the
values of society."
Konsantinos Karachalios opening The IEEE Global Initiative
international meeting at The Hague
initiate a strong wave of enlightenment at a
global level. IEEE is the ideal platform to bring
together global and local communities toward
a concerted action. At the same time, we - our
vast scientific and engineering communities
- are also the main target of such an action.
Basically, it is about educating ourselves, and
learning to anticipate and take into account
the most critical parameters when designing
algorithmic systems with ethical or social
implications.
The Ethical Standards for the Algorithmic
Future
Along with creating and evolving Ethically Aligned Design,
members of The IEEE Global Initiative are encouraged to
recommend Standardization Projects to IEEE-SA based
on their work. Currently, there are a series of Standards
in the IEEE P7000™ series as listed below:
*

By creating the IEEE P7000™ series of Standards based
on Ethically Aligned Design, the goal of The IEEE global
Initiative is to institutionalize the rigors of this "upstream
analysis" to further aid the scientists and engineers
involved in the creation of the intelligent, autonomous,
and other emerging technologies driving our human
future.
To provide an example of how this type of ethically
oriented work can function, below is a diagram created
by Professor D. Sarah Spiekermann, who chairs the
Institute for Management Information Systems at Vienna
University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna). She
is author of the book "Ethical IT Innovation: A Valuebased System Design Approach" which features a vast
repository of research demonstrating the business value
of prioritizing ethics at the front end of design.
While it may seem difficult to create an ethical focus for
The System Development Lifecycle of an organization,
it is possible to thoroughly evaluate values like privacy
(as show above). By considering how an end user
or stakeholder identifies with a certain value, and by

Concerns During System Design

IEEE P7002: Data Privacy Process
IEEE P7003: Algorithmic Bias Considerations
(Working Group to be announced soon)
As a pragmatic way of complementing existing Codes of
Ethics, The IEEE Global Initiative believes that prioritizing
applied ethical considerations at the front end of any
systems or product development process will redefine
innovation for the algorithmic era to encourage excellence
and integrity in all of the technology we design for a
positive and healthy human future. This means that along
