Ethical landscape of disruptive technology – from design to implementation

On the 15th of November 2022, our associated partner IT Professionalism Europe (ITPE in short) organised a global online conference from 10:00-11:30 CET on “Ethical landscape of disruptive technology – from design to implementation“. The Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance was introduced to all participants.

About the event

What should a company know today about ethical practices related to digital innovation? How much should workflows change to implement a more ethical decision-making process? And what should be the impact on the IT Professionals driving this development?

Addressing these questions is becoming more important as technology determines the way we communicate and how we work together. For IT professionals, the task will be to manage the development of these technologies while upholding shared values and common standards.

The ethical aspect of IT is essential to discuss how professionals will help drive digital technology, not only through their technical expertise but also their ability to detect issues that could threaten a human-centric approach.

During this webinar, Chair of the IFIP Technical Committee on ICT and Society, David Kreps, will present IFIP’s Code of Ethics and speak about the challenges disruptive technology poses to our society. Enterprise Solutions Architect, Developer and Researcher, Stefan Kunkel will talk about a new ethical standard framework that can serve as an application guide for establishing codes of ethics in companies and help manage the potential opportunities and risks of disruptive technologies.

We will also hear from Valeria Muggianu, Senior Project Manager at DIGITALEUROPE, about the EU-funded project ARISA (Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance) which has been initiated to develop new job profiles in AI.
