"The primary goal of this handbook is to help companies developing, procuring, or leveraging advanced technologies understand the ethical risks that such technologies introduce, and help them implement the infrastructure necessary to mitigate those risks throughout the product and service life cycle. The ITEC Handbook offers a structured methodology to guide enterprises on their journey of transformation from leadership discernment and commitment, to operationalizing ethical and humane use principles, into a new mindset and culture of technology ownership and accountability, where everyone thinks through the consequences of the technology and feels accountability for its impacts on humanity and the planet. It also describes how to define, implement, and manage an ethical-values-focused Responsible Technology Management System (RTMS) aligning the enterprise and stakeholders for social, technical, and business success for the common good of humanity and the environment."
