IEEE 7000-series — ethics, transparency & privacy
Standards for ethics, transparency, and privacy by design.
The IEEE 7000 series embeds ethical and human values into system design. It includes IEEE 7000 (a process for value-based system design) and companion standards on transparency of autonomous systems (7001), data privacy (7002), algorithmic bias (7003), and more — turning ethical principles into engineering practice.
Who it applies to
Engineering and product teams that want to build ethics, transparency, and privacy into AI by design.
Key obligations
- Apply value-based design processes (IEEE 7000)
- Address transparency of autonomous systems (7001)
- Engineer data-privacy protections (7002)
- Consider and mitigate algorithmic bias (7003)
How Maetra maps agents to IEEE 7000
Maetra evidences transparency, privacy, and bias-mitigation controls per agent and records the design and oversight decisions behind them. (Licensed standard — activated on demand.)
In practice, Maetra:
- Scans and fingerprints each agent. Discover reads the agent’s code — its tools, data access and sensitivity, actions, model, and environment — into an evidence-backed profile tied to the exact file and commit.
- Decides what applies. That profile determines whether IEEE 7000 is in scope for the agent and which of its requirements apply.
- Auto-detects controls and surfaces gaps. Controls your code already satisfies are detected automatically from the scan; the rest become a clear list of gaps, each tied to the requirement and the evidence it still needs.
- Proves it and keeps it current. Close gaps with linked evidence or generated documents — reused across every framework the same control supports — and Maetra re-checks on each rescan and flags evidence that has gone stale.
