IEEE standard review — Ethically aligned design: A vision for prioritizing human wellbeing with artificial intelligence and autonomous systems

Brave: what it means to be an AI Ethicist

“…Although the role of an AI Ethicist may be listed as an essential position within the corporate structure [3], it still remains unclear as to what this role exactly entails and who is meant to fill it. Therefore, the purpose of this piece is to offer a preliminary definition of an AI Ethicist, providing the baseline from which we can move forward in refining what is to become a fundamental profession in the coming decades of technological development.…”

“…First, it must be established that there is a clear difference between the field of AI Ethics and the profession of an AI Ethicist. The field of AI Ethics, generally speaking, encompasses a wide variety of profiles; from technologists and programmers, to evangelists and advocates, to policymakers and researchers, the common factor uniting this plethora of players being the intrinsic motivation to create responsible technology that pursues the human as the end beneficiary [3]. Think of AI Ethics as a puzzle, with each one of these profiles being a different piece, each one playing a vital role in contributing to the overall picture.…”

The Ethics of Digital Well-Being: A Thematic Review

“…Embedding ethics more closely into the design process of digital technologies is becoming more common (Brey 2015;Calvo and Peters 2013;Dorrestijn and Verbeek 2013;Ijsselsteijn et al 2006;Roeser 2012;Shahriari and Shahriari 2017;Vallor 2016). For example, privacy concerns in computer or systems engineering are considered when determining whether to process data client-side or server-side (Sinche et al 2017;Weiss et al 2016), how to meet the technical demand of data minimisation (Tollmar et al 2012), and whether to avoid using more privacy-invasive monitoring (e.g.…”

“…In turn, they can help people avoid the problem of outsourcing decision-making to autonomous systems (Vallor 2016). This problem is typically framed from a virtue ethics perspective (Shahriari and Shahriari 2017;Vallor 2016), and these authors emphasise the importance of conscious contemplation for the cultivation of human excellence. However, even if one chooses not to adopt a virtue ethics perspective, one can still appreciate why digital technologies that seek to present users with information designed to elicit greater deliberative (perhaps moral) faculties are worthwhile.…”

Ethical Issues and Related Considerations Involved with Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems

“…Finally, the fourth standard (P7003) is related to avoid and eliminate the negative bias in the algorithms based programs. Apart from these there are three more standards developed by the IEEE standards committee focused on the data of child, employer and personal data as listed below [23]: The last three standards P7004-P7006 are very important when it comes to the information of overall society, people, their habits, cultures, and privacy. It cannot be assumed that the AI systems will be safer at all times since they are trained at the initial stages.…”
