Responsible Software Engineering: With Real-World Case Studies from Google

Today's software applications need more than a friendly interface and correct algorithms. They also need to be responsible: to be beneficial for society and not cause harm. In an era of AI chatbots, deep fake images and videos, social media bubbles, expanding privacy regulations, and a warming planet, it's more important than ever to practice responsible software engineering so your products earn your users' trust—and deserve it.

Responsible Software Engineering gathers the wisdom of over 100 Google employees to help you anticipate the effects of your software on the world and its inhabitants. It features expert advice and practical case studies so you can build better applications that are more ready for real-world situations:

  • Treating people more fairly, regardless of their beliefs, culture, skin tone, and other attributes
  • Operating more safely, to reduce the risk of physical, psychological, or financial harm
  • Better protecting people's privacy, particularly when collecting personal information
  • Incorporating wisdom from the social sciences, law, ethics, and other fields that many engineers may be unfamiliar with
  • Reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), to address the risks of climate change
