    Study Notes

    Embedding Ethics by Design

    • To foster a culture of Ethics by Design, individuals can help embed ethical use principles into their company's day-to-day work.

    Consequence Scanning

    • Developed by UK-based think-tank Doteveryone, Consequence Scanning is a process that systematizes a company's approach to measuring the potential ethical impact of product decisions.
    • Consequence Scanning helps mitigate unintended consequences, which often fall under six main categories.
    • The process purposefully inserts productive friction into the product development process through checkpoints, where teams are nudged to pause and consider the impact of the products or features they're building.

    Running a Consequence Scanning Workshop

    • Consequence Scanning takes the form of a workshop, aimed at building "moral muscle memory" in the product development process.
    • The workshop helps ensure that values are lived and features are developed to identify and mitigate ethical risk for customers and end users.
    • A guide is available to help host a Consequence Scanning workshop, covering the framework, insights, and tweaks learned from applying it.

    Ethical Awareness and Social Change

    • Ethical awareness must be practiced to be maintained, and eventually, it will become second nature to question beliefs and assumptions about the impact of choices.
    • Business can be a powerful platform for social change, and incorporating ethical and humane use in technology is an important step towards that goal.
