What is an Ethical Value Requirement (EVR)?

A requirement derived from one specific pair of core value and value quality; a system counts as ethical only if it meets its EVRs.

Each core value / value quality combination is considered separately and translated into one or more EVRs.

Example: the value quality informed consent (part of the core value privacy) yields five EVRs:

1. understandable and honest information about the data processing,
2. complete information,
3. easily accessible information,
4. information about the processing that actually takes place,
5. an easy-to-use option to forbid any processing beyond what is strictly necessary.

A voice assistant is only considered ethical if it meets these EVRs.
