The Alan Turing Institute has recently released a groundbreaking notebook titled ‘AI Ethics and Governance in Practice’, which delves into the essential aspects crucial for the future development of artificial intelligence systems. This comprehensive guide offers insights on how to integrate ethical principles and security measures into the design, development, and implementation of algorithmic systems in the public sector.
The notebook begins by defining artificial intelligence systems and introducing key concepts in the field. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the socio-technical aspects of AI projects and highlights the need for responsible research and innovation throughout the project lifecycle.
One of the key frameworks introduced in the notebook is the CARE and Act framework, which aims to guide AI/ML projects by focusing on values, purposes, and interests. Additionally, the Process-Based Governance (PBG) Framework provides a structured approach to integrating ethical values and principles into AI projects at every stage.
The notebook also outlines the SUM Values, SSAFE-D Principles, and the PBG Framework as essential components of ethical AI governance. These frameworks aim to ensure that AI projects are respectful, transparent, and accountable, with a focus on mitigating bias, promoting fairness, and protecting public confidence.
Overall, the ‘AI Ethics and Governance in Practice’ notebook offers practical tools and guidance for implementing ethical values and principles in AI projects. It serves as a valuable resource for AI project teams looking to build, purchase, or use AI technologies in an ethical, safe, and responsible manner.
