Ethics by Design

EbD

A proactive approach to integrating ethical considerations into the design of technologies and systems from inception, rather than addressing them retroactively.

In Plain Language

Embedding ethical thinking into every step of technology development. Don't build first and ask ethical questions later; consider ethics from the very first design meeting.

Why This Matters

Ethics by design ensures that ethical considerations are not an afterthought. Your AI development methodology should include mandatory ethical review checkpoints at each stage of the AI lifecycle.
