Leaders seeking to win in the future.
Today we live in a digital, globalised world, and most of our business and personal relationships are conducted online. Thanks to social media and many other ways of online communication, data about citizens and their individual preferences and tastes is stored and can be retrieved online.
As data becomes ever more personalised and as digital technologies (such as Artificial Intelligence) become ever more prevalent, the need for a common standard on the ethical principles around data and its use has become extremely important. Without this, biases within technology and datasets will become more prominent and will increase the negative impact on citizens everywhere.
Our Vision
Shaping ethical and responsible digital ecosystems of the future.
The Ethical Technology Institute (ETI) is a not-for-profit professional association promoting the ethical and responsible usage of technology. We connect and inform Businesses across Europe and aim to be a bridgehead with Academia, Public Authorities, Government and Regulatory Bodies. Our aim is to offer practical guidance and a pragmatic approach to regulation so that businesses can advance technologies that adopt ethical frameworks and safeguard the individualised, equal and fair treatment of every citizen and consumer.
Maintaining a fair and equitable society and a strong business environment depends on emerging digital technologies being ethical and actually improving people’s lives. That is why our vision is to shape ethical and responsible digital ecosystems of the future, where technology and data are free of bias.
Our Services.
Effectively leveraging data and technologies (such as AI) is fast becoming a standard requirements for any businesses seeking to be successful. Yet, trustworthy data and responsible technologies are not standalone; they must be driven by a business’s overacting ethical standards.
For businesses and their leaders seeking to win in the future, operationalising trust and transparency will be key. That’s why more and more companies and organisations are turning to the Ethical Technology Institute – for inspiration, education, certification, self-regulation, advocacy and networking.
