Implementing Artificial Intelligence Ethics in Trustworthy System Development - Making AI Ethics a Business Case

Software businesses struggle to implement AI ethics or ethical requirements in their development and engineering of AI. Current tools mainly focus on the technical level, with scarce resources identified for the different groups across software business organizations. This study focuses on developing a proposed solution, the ethical requirement stack, as a toolkit software businesses can leverage to implement ethical requirements. The tool aims to improve the understanding and visibility of AI ethics by serving as a go-to in interpreting AI ethics guidelines, thereby reducing the gap in transitioning AI ethics from principles to practice.
