Define Value Based Engineering.
Structured technology approach that combines ethical and technical aspects into system and technology design
Explain how VBE differs from traditional engineering.
Traditional engineering focuses on functionality efficiency and cost while VBE includes moral and social considerations.
List the main ethical frameworks used in VBE.
Utilitarianism virtue ethics and duty ethics.
Define a value conflict.
A tension between desirable goals such as privacy versus efficiency.
Define value ontology.
A hierarchy describing how values exist from subjective to universal and guide human behavior.
Explain traceable value translation.
The process of mapping ethical values to concrete technical requirements and design decisions.
Define responsible AI.
Artificial intelligence that is transparent fair accountable and respects human autonomy and privacy.
Explain moral imagination.
The ability to foresee and evaluate the ethical consequences of technical decisions.
Define ethical blindness.
Failure to recognize moral issues due to focus on efficiency rules or performance targets.
List common ethical risks of AI.
Bias discrimination lack of transparency privacy loss and overreliance on algorithms.
Explain the principle of human oversight in AI systems.
Humans remain in control of critical decisions ensuring accountability and autonomy.
Define value elicitation.
Identifying and prioritizing stakeholder and societal values early in system design.
Explain the goal of IEEE 7000 in VBE.
To provide a standard process for integrating ethical concerns into system design.
Define moral autonomy in technology.
The ability of humans to make independent ethical choices without undue influence from AI systems.
Explain why ethics is essential in technology development.
Because technology affects human well being rights and trust requiring moral responsibility throughout the lifecycle.
Define context and concept exploration in VBE.
The first stage where the system context goals and stakeholders are analyzed to identify ethical relevance.
Define value exploration.
The phase where moral and stakeholder values are identified discussed and prioritized for the system design.
Define aligned value design.
The process of developing technical features and system architecture that embody and balance the prioritized values.
Define value validation.
The evaluation and testing phase that checks whether the system upholds the intended ethical values in real use.
Explain how VBE ensures continuous ethical reflection.
By iterating through context exploration value analysis design and validation throughout the lifecycle.
