Delft Digital Ethics Centre

Individuals and societies can greatly benefit from the use of data, AI and IT systems that are accountable, explainable, fair, safe, inclusive, and trustworthy. But how can we bridge the gap between abstract ethical discussions on these values and concrete digital innovations? The TU Delft Digital Ethics Centre believes that it is crucial to translate ethical values in design requirements that can be used by engineers, decision and policy makers and regulators. For two decades TU Delft has pioneered a design approach to ethics of technology and we firmly believe that it is the way to achieve responsible digital technologies both effectively and demonstrably. As such, we work with engineers and external partners on the central and urgent applications of digital technology and computer science. Those applied projects are supported by research on philosophical and methodological foundations and on epistemic and moral values.
