- Abstract: This article gives a methodological overview of Value-based Engineering for
ethics by design. It discusses key challenges and measures involved in
eliciting, conceptualizing, prioritizing and respecting values in system
design. Thereby it draws from software engineering, value sensitive design,
design thinking and participatory design as well as from philosophical sources,
especially Material Ethics of Value. The article recognizes timely challenges
for Value-based Engineering, such as compatibility with agile forms of system
development, responsibility in hardly controllable ecosystems of interconnected
services, fearless integration of external stakeholders and the difficulty in
measuring the ethicality of a system. Finally, the Value-based Engineering
methodology presented here benefits from learnings collected in the IEEE P7000
standardization process as well as from a case study. P7000 has been set up by
IEEE to establish a process model, which addresses ethical considerations
throughout the various stages of system initiation, analysis and design.

It is unclear if an AI system's inputs will be independent of its outputs, and, therefore, if AI systems can be treated as traditional components.
This paper posits that engineering general intelligence requires new general systems precepts, termed the core and periphery.
