Doteveryone Ethical Tech Initiatives Directory ________________________________
There’s a lot of good work being done in ethical and responsible tech today, so we’re making this directory to help more people find out about the growing number of initiatives and their impact.
This directory focuses on initiatives which help make more tech responsible/ethical, rather than individually ethical products or services. So: standards, training courses, advocacy, guidelines, campaigns, regulations, networks, tools, etc.
There also needs to be a way for people to find what’s right for them, and have the confidence to know they’ve found it. Lots of people are coming up with pledges and principles, but they vary widely. Some are top-down, some are grassroots-led; some are old, some are new. Some are personal (these tend to be oaths), some are for organisations or teams or are general principles. Some have significant uptake, and some do not. Some include lawfulness, and some don’t (or think lawfulness is implicit). Some are European and some are American. In short, there are a lot.
If there’s something missing from this list, we want to know about it. Add a comment with a link to it or get in touch with Doteveryone to tell us more.

It’s worth noting that a lot of good practice in security, reliability and safety in tech is so aligned with ethical/ trustworthy/ responsible that it’s ending up in here, even when it’s not overtly about ethics. So that’s a thing. That’s fine :)

Accenture Data Ethics Initiative
Published in 2016 (with research starting in late 2013), this is among the world’s leading thoughts on the role of data ethics in digital societies. Of particular note, you’ll find documents on 12 Universal Principles of Data Ethics, one on Data Sharing Best Practices and Governance Models, another focusing on Informed Consent and Avoiding Harm, and for those managing development teams using PMI (Project Management Institute) best practices or ITIL’s Service Delivery Lifecycle, this document describes how to integrate discussions of data ethics into these existing frameworks. One interesting note about this initiative is that all of their thought leadership is published under creative commons with attribution license. (contact steven.c.tiell@accenture.com or any of the authors listed on the back pages for more info)

Council for BigData, Ethics, and Society- Started in 2014 to provide critical social and cultural perspectives on big data initiatives. The Council brings together researchers from diverse disciplines — from anthropology and philosophy to economics and law — to address issues such as security, privacy, equality, and access in order to help guard against the repetition of known mistakes and inadequate preparation. Through public commentary, events, white papers, and direct engagement with data analytics projects, the Council will develop frameworks to help researchers, practitioners, and the public understand the social, ethical, legal, and policy issues that underpin the big data phenomenon. #algorithms #BigData

ISO “electronic discovery” ISO/IEC 27050-1:2016 Electronic discovery is the process of discovering pertinent Electronically Stored Information (ESI) or data by one or more parties involved in an investigation or litigation, or similar proceeding. ISO/IEC 27050:2016 provides an overview of electronic discovery. In addition, it defines related terms and describes the concepts, including, but not limited to, identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analysis, and production of ESI. ..ISO/IEC 27050-1:2016 is relevant to both non-technical and technical personnel involved in some or all of the electronic discovery activities, and it is not intended to contradict or supersede local jurisdictional laws and regulations, so exercise care to ensure compliance with the prevailing jurisdictional requirements. #standard #data

Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice: software engineers have significant opportunities to do good or cause harm, to enable others to do good or cause harm, or to influence others to do good or cause harm. To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial and respected profession. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers shall adhere to the following #Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.
Scrum alliance code of ethics: This #Code of Ethics establishes the expectations that we have of ourselves and our fellow practitioners in the global Scrum community, and establishes an organization-wide understanding of appropriate behavior.
Statistics code of practice: The UK Statistics Authority has a statutory objective of promoting and safeguarding the production and publication of official statistics that ‘serve the public good’.
