• A. IEEE 7000-2021
• B. ISO/IEC 42001
• C. OECD AI Principles
• D. NIST RMF

Answer: (A)

Embedding human values in AI system design, including privacy, transparency, and fairness, is what IEEE 7000-2021 guides. This standard provides a structured, ethically driven design process that integrates values directly into the entire design lifecycle—from requirements and architecture to governance and ongoing evaluation. It emphasizes value modeling, stakeholder participation, transparency by design, and accountability, ensuring these considerations shape the system rather than being added later. Other options either address governance or policy at a high level, or focus on security risk management, without prescribing how to embed human values into the design itself. So IEEE 7000-2021 is the best fit for this concept.
