👉 Accountability engineering is a discipline focused on designing systems that ensure transparency, traceability, and responsibility in their operations. It involves creating mechanisms to track decisions, actions, and outcomes within complex systems, enabling stakeholders to understand and verify how decisions are made and results are achieved. This approach integrates principles from software engineering, ethics, and governance to ensure that systems operate fairly, safely, and in alignment with predefined norms and regulations. By embedding accountability into the design process, engineers can mitigate risks, enhance trust, and facilitate corrective actions when issues arise, ultimately fostering more reliable and responsible technological solutions.
