WHAT YOU TAKE HOME
A method you can use on Monday
A structured way to work through an ethical dilemma in a project. Decisions get made deliberately, not by gut feeling or left to the individual engineer.
Two tools, tested on real cases
Two practical models for ethical reasoning, tried out in the room on the industry cases and ready for your own design reviews and decision gates.
Arguments that hold up
The three classic ways to justify a decision: by its consequences, by duties and rules, and by professional character. Use them to explain and defend your choices to management, customers and authorities.
The EU framework without the fluff
What the EU's principles for trustworthy AI actually ask of you, why they can never all be met at once, and how to avoid ethics washing.
Ahead of regulation
Regulation lags behind the technology. Learn to make responsible calls in the grey zone where the rules don't yet give answers.
Lessons from peers
Hear how other companies use AI in product development, and where they have run into trouble.
