Exploring the Assessment List for Trustworthy AI in the Context of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in critical applications. Thus, the need for dependable AI systems is rapidly growing. In 2018, the European Commission appointed experts to a High-Level Expert Group on AI (AI-HLEG). AI-HLEG defined Trustworthy AI as 1) lawful, 2) ethical, and 3) robust and specified seven corresponding key requirements. To help development organizations, AI-HLEG recently published the Assessment List for Trustworthy AI (ALTAI). We present an illustrative case study from applying ALTAI to an ongoing development project of an Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) that relies on Machine Learning (ML). Our experience shows that ALTAI is largely applicable to ADAS development, but specific parts related to human agency and transparency can be disregarded. Moreover, bigger questions related to societal and environmental impact cannot be tackled by an ADAS supplier in isolation. We present how we plan to develop the ADAS to ensure ALTAI-compliance. Finally, we provide three recommendations for the next revision of ALTAI, i.e., life-cycle variants, domainspecific adaptations, and removed redundancy.

AI Ethics in Smart Healthcare

“…We consider these seven ethical challenges as the most pressing of the concerns created by the use of AI in healthcare. Some of these challenges also have been raised with the growing use of AI in other application areas, particularly the automotive [18] and robotics [19] domains.…”

Ergo, SMIRK is Safe: A Safety Case for a Machine Learning Component in a Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Brake System

“…Obviously a vital quality characteristic for a PAEB ADAS that primarily impacts the data requirements specified in the Data Management Specification. We have elaborated on SMIRK fairness in a previous study (Borg et al, 2021b). [High priority]…”

“…The ML model test cases provide results for both 1) the entire verification data set and 2) eight slices of the data set that are deemed particularly important. The selection of slices was motivated by either an analysis of the available technology or ethical considerations, especially from the perspective of AI fairness (Borg et al, 2021b). Consequently, we measure the performance for the following slices of data.…”

Abordagem Socialmente Responsável ao Desenvolvimento de Software: um estudo exploratório

“…Com relação às ferramentas, o checklist se destaca como forma de avaliação com base em listas e requisitos legais. Nessa perspectiva, tem-se o trabalho de Borg et al (2021), que faz uma análise crítica da lista de avaliação de inteligência artificial confiável, proposta pela União Europeia, e de Vakkuri et al (2020), que propõem a utilização de anotações em cartões para cada decisão ética tomada durante o processo de desenvolvimento relacionando essa decisão com um requisito.…”
