Our guiding principles
Autonomous operations - Responsibility in the digital world
In an increasingly digitalized world, autonomy, artificial intelligence and cyber security are essential. Our software enables autonomous processes in industrial environments and must meet the highest safety and ethical standards.
Our commitments:
- Ethical technology development
We are committed to the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI). Our systems must be secure and resistant to manipulation. To this end, they should support explainability and, in combination with PSI products, promote trust in their benefits and functionality. - Data protection & information security
For PSI, information forms the basis of our business as well as that of our customers and business partners. We therefore protect this information appropriately in compliance with the relevant laws and relevant international standards on information security. This protection includes confidentiality, integrity and availability within PSI, in our products and with business partners and other parties involved in our daily work. Information security is everyone‘s responsibility and requires the secure handling of information and technologies in compliance with the applicable PSI guidelines and standards. We protect personal data and company secrets from unauthorized access and misuse. - Reliability & transparency
Our aim is for our software to be reliable and to make decisions that can be understood by humans. - Innovative & modular solutions
