This Guide is initially inspired by the ECCOLA method conceived by Vakkuri et al. [1] - where we expanded and implemented the cards in a web-based system - and by the ethical principles in AI and its ethical issues identified by Ryan and Stahl [2].

The source code of the Guide is available at: https://github.com/josesiqueira/RE4AIEthicalGuide under the GNU GPLv3 license, i.e. it is a free software, so it is possible to modify functionalities, adapt the cards, and include more principles, according to the needs of the development team.
