IEEE puts out a first draft guide for how tech can achieve ethical AI design
abstract character shattered into pieces
The document, called Ethically Aligned Design, includes a series of detailed recommendations based on the input of more than 100 “thought leaders” working in academia, science, government and corporate sectors, in the fields of AI, law and ethics, philosophy and policy.
The IEEE is hoping it will become a key reference work for AI/AS technologists as autonomous technologies find their way into more and more systems in the coming years. It’s also inviting feedback on the document from interested parties — there’s a Submission Guidelines on The IEEE Global Initiative’s website. It says all comment and input will be made publicly available, and should be sent no later than March 6, 2017.
The issue of AI ethics and accountability has been rising up the social and political agenda this year, fueled in part by high-profile algorithmic failures such as Facebook’s inability to filter out fake news.
The White House has also put out its own reports into AI and R&D. And this fall a U.K. parliamentary committee warned the government of the need to act pro-actively to ensure AI accountability.
