The Boston Global Forum and the AI World Society (AIWS) are pleased to highlight “An Ethics Model for Innovation: The PiE Model” developed by Dr. Cansu Canca, founder of AI Ethics Lab. Presented through her lecture at the AI Ethics Course, the PiE Model provides a practical and structured framework for integrating ethics into the innovation process — from ideation to implementation.
This model aligns closely with the AIWS Standards and Model, particularly in promoting:
✅ Ethical by Design innovation
✅ Inclusive decision-making that balances innovation with societal impact
✅ Responsible AI development guided by human-centered values
The PiE Model emphasizes the importance of embedding ethics at every stage of innovation, ensuring that new technologies, especially in AI and digital assets, advance peace, democracy, transparency, and social good — core principles of the AIWS 7-Layer Model of AI Ethics.
We encourage policymakers, innovators, and scholars in the AIWS ecosystem to explore the PiE Model as a complementary tool in developing ethical, sustainable, and governance-aligned innovations.
