Theoretical Research on the Integration of multi-level Governance and Project Management of Engineering Ethics in the Development of Complex Systems

Abstract

This paper focuses on the integration of engineering ethics and project management in complex systems development and proposes a multi-level governance framework to address the ethical challenges brought about by current technological advancements. Due to the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, ethical issues in complex systems development have become increasingly prominent, and traditional project management methods have difficulty effectively addressing these challenges. This study systematically explores the governance mechanisms of engineering ethics at the micro individual, meso organization, and macro society levels through literature review and case analysis, and proposes the "Ethical Embedded Project Management" (EEPM) theoretical model. The model incorporates ethical considerations into the requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing and maintenance stages of the project life cycle to achieve the organic integration of ethical governance and technology development. The research shows that the multi-level ethical governance framework can effectively improve project management efficiency, reduce ethical risks and promote the harmonious development of technology and society. Based on this, this paper constructs an engineering ethics evaluation index system for complex system development and proposes corresponding ethical review processes and tools. The research results have important theoretical significance and practical value for guiding engineering practice, improving project management methodology and promoting responsible technological innovation, and provide new ideas and methods for solving ethical dilemmas in complex system development.
