From Innovation to Responsibility. A Companion for Integrated Technology Ethics and Assessment

From Innovation to Responsibility: A companion for integrated technology ethics and assessment provides a systematic toolset for responsible technology development. It supports researchers, developers, and their organisations in the early and structured exploration of emerging technologies and artefact practices, bringing ethical reflection into research, design, and engineering processes from the outset. The publication offers a shared space for interdisciplinary reflection in which stakeholder perspectives, values, dependencies, implications, and design options can be explored step by step. In doing so, it helps teams identify ethically relevant questions, critically evaluate emerging technologies in their socio-technical and environmental contexts, and develop responsible design options that can inform further research and innovation. The companion is intended for both educational and practitioner-oriented settings and invites users to adapt the tools to their own context and to engage in responsible technology development as an iterative and collaborative process.
