Your journey starts today
Get started with the fundamentals of AI and ethical system design — practical, accessible, and guided by the ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000 standard.
Join our Training Program
AI and other technologies are transforming the way we live and work – bringing immense opportunities but also significant risks.
Our 1-day intro training for ethical AI gives you and your team a clear understanding of AI’s potential, the challenges it raises, and why ethics are essential for responsible innovation. Explore how Value-based Engineering (VBE), guided by the ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000 standard, offers practical tools to tackle these challenges – so you can build AI systems that are innovative, ethical, and aligned with societal values.
It is a highly practical, tested and certifiable approach to human-centered engineering. It makes organizations aware of the human and social challenges but also supreme innovation opportunities inherent in their IT systems. It is a successor of Value Sensitive Design and provides tangible substance to those who commit to Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR).
VBE provides a structured and transparent way to translate value principles into IT system requirements ensuring that product management and technical units collaborate towards stakeholder value, minimal risk and legal compliance.
