WHY ENGAGE WITH RESPONSIBLE AI Principles & standards


EU AI Ethics Guidelines
Ethics & Responsible AI

The Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence developed by the EU High-Level Expert Group on AI highlight that trustworthy AI should be lawful, ethical and robust. They put forward a set of seven key requirements that AI systems should meet in order to be deemed trustworthy, including among others diversity, non-discrimination, societal and environmental well-being, transparency and accountability. The Guidelines have been also reinforced by AI Policy and Investment Recommendations.



OECD principles on Artificial Intelligence
Principles & Responsible AI

The OECD’s member countries along with partner countries adopted the first ever set of intergovernmental policy guidelines on AI, agreeing to uphold international standards that aim to ensure AI systems are designed in a way that respects the rule of law, human rights, democratic values and diversity. They emphasize that AI should benefit people and the planet by driving inclusive growth, sustainable development and well-being.





CoE: Human Rights impacts of Algorithms
Human Rights & Responsible AI

Draft recommendation on the human rights impacts of algorithmic AI systems was released by the Council of Europe for public consultation in August 2019 and adopted in April 2020. The CoE's document explicitly refers to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as a guidance for due diligence process and Human Rights Impact Assessments. Furthermore, CoE established Ad Hoc Committee on AI to develop the first international legal instrument on the development, design and application of AI, based on human rights standards, democracy and the principles of the rule of law.



IEEE Global Initiative: ethically Aligned Design
IEEE standards & Responsible AI

Ethically Aligned Design (EAD) Document is created to educate a broader public and to inspire academics, engineers, policy makers and manufacturers of autonomous and intelligent systems to take action on prioritizing ethical considerations. The general principles for AI design, manufacturing and use include: human rights, wellbeing, data agency, effectiveness, transparency, accountability, awareness of misuse, competence. The unique IEEE P7000 Standards series address specific issues at the intersection of technology and ethics and aimed to empower innovation across borders and enable societal benefit. The Ethics Certification Program was launched by IEEE to develop metrics and methodology towards implementation of certification and marking processes addressing initially transparency, accountability and algorithmic bias.       


Sustainable Development Goals
SDGs & Responsible AI

Today, business success is measured by its positive impact on society and concrete contribution to solving most pressing global challenges. By pro-actively engaging with the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development and making business decisions in alignment with the SDGs, you gain an edge you need to succeed. As for inspiration and ideas for collaboration across borders, the annual AI for Good Global Summit is the leading UN platform for global and inclusive dialogue on how artificial intelligence could help accelerate progress towards the Global Goals.


Business and Human Rights
UNGPs & Responsible AI

In an era of rapid technological disruption and rising inequality, business has a unique opportunity to implement human-centered innovation by taking into account social, ethical and human rights implications of AI. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), authoritative global sustainability framework, offers a roadmap to navigate responsibility-related challenges and inspires creative solutions.



Collaborative Platforms and Social Learning
EU & global Networking 

In times when Europe finds its space among AI superpowers and most EU countries have articulated their ambitions related to artificial intelligence, it is of paramount importance to find your unique voice, track and join essential conversations, strategically engage in collective efforts and leave meaningful digital footprint. We live in an interconnected and interdependent world!
