Literature Reviews: On Ethics Education and Educational Resources

This page consolidates the extensive research performed in Work Package 2 and Work Package 3. It tracks the evolution of ethics from professional codes to modern AI governance and provides a directory of foundational secondary literature.

Key Analysis Pillars

• Historical Evolution: Ethics education in engineering dates back over a century, but the “concrete turn” began in the 1970s with the merger of engineering practice and philosophical inquiry.

• Institutional Mapping: We have mapped the global infrastructure of ethics—including major professional societies like the IEEE and ACM, and specialized institutes dedicated to the “Technological Condition.”

• The 2025 Structural Turn: Recent literature (2025) shifts focus toward Sustainable AI, addressing the energy constraints of digital technologies and the democratic deficits in how AI is governed.
