A principle-based approach to AI: the case for European Union and Italy

Abstract

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more and more pervasive in our everyday life, new questions arise about its ethical and social impacts. Such issues concern all stakeholders involved in or committed to the design, implementation, deployment, and use of the technology. The present document addresses these preoccupations by introducing and discussing a set of practical obligations and recommendations for the development of applications and systems based on AI techniques. With this work we hope to contribute to spreading awareness on the many social challenges posed by AI and encouraging the establishment of good practices throughout the relevant social areas. As points of novelty, the paper elaborates on an integrated view that combines both human rights and ethical concepts to reap the benefits of the two approaches. Moreover, it proposes innovative recommendations, such as those on redress and governance, which add further insight to the debate. Finally, it incorporates a specific focus on the Italian Constitution, thus offering an example of how core legislations of Member States might contribute to further specify and enrich the EU normative framework on AI.

Artificial intelligence governance: Ethical considerations and implications for social responsibility

“…Essentially, it represents a regulatory framework that can support AI practitioners in their strategy formulation and in day‐to‐day operations (Erdélyi & Goldsmith, 2022; Mullins et al, 2021; Schneider et al, 2022). The rationale behind responsible AI governance is to ensure that automated systems including ML/DL technologies, are supporting individuals and organizations in achieving their long terms objectives, whist safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders (Corea et al, 2022; Hickok, 2022).…”

Artificial Intelligence Needs Data: Challenges Accessing Italian Databases to Train AI

“…There has been some reflection on a principle-based approach to AI for Italy (Corea et al 2023), the role that AI (specifically Chat GPT) can have in the healthcare (Vo et al 2023) and home care (Cingolani et al 2023) in Italy. There is limited empirical work on public attitudes towards on the use of AI in Italy generally.…”

Ethical Implications and Governance of Artificial Intelligence in Business Decisions: A Deep Dive into the Ethical Challenges and Governance Issues Surrounding the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Making Critical Business Decisions

“…In essence, it is a framework for regulations that AI practitioners can use to help them with strategy development and day-to-day operations(Erdélyi & Goldsmith, 2022;Mullins et al, 2021;Schneider et al, 2022). The idea of responsible AI governance is to guarantee that automated systems and technologies, assist individuals and organizations in attaining their long-term goals, in addition to safeguarding the best interest of all stakeholders(Corea et al, 2022;Hickok, 2022).Business leaders must adhere to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations to practice AI governance(Mäntymäki et al, 2022). Additionally, they must adhere to moral principles, values, and standards(Koniakou, 2023).…”
