Dr. Sarah Spiekermann – Autorin und Professorin der Wirtschaftsinformatik
Value-Based Engineering
"There is a wealth of books and publications about technology ethics, or recommendations for trustworthy AI systems. Recently, the IEEE published the "Standard Model Process for Addressing Ethical Concerns during System Design" (the IEEE Std. 7000-2021) under Sarah Spiekermann’s leadership. But what are the foundations of ethical design? What are values, and what is the difference with principles? Above all, HOW to concretely develop a technological system that is aligned with humanistic values? While the European AI Act is still in the womb, Sarah Spiekermann united her knowledge, experience and talent together in this brilliant and accessible book which provides a comprehensive manual, bridging the gap between theory and practice. It will be the precious companion of every engineer and every manager, to understand how to build ethically aligned technologies, but also a resource to empower the interested citizen."

Dieses Buch ist gleichzeitig eine Vision und eine äußerst praktische Anwendung, ein wesentlicher Leitfaden für die Kultivierung eines guten Lebens im digitalen Zeitalter.“
