Study Notes

The Problem of Principle Proliferation

The proliferation of ethical principles for AI may lead to redundancy, confusion, or a "market for principles" where stakeholders choose the most appealing ones.
This problem can be solved by analyzing the convergence of different sets of ethical principles for AI.

Overview of AI

AI is a research area that lacks a clear definition and comprises several techno-scientific branches.
AI has been defined in many ways, and its branches are summarized in the AI Knowledge Map (AIKM).

Ethical Principles for AI

There are several high-profile sets of ethical principles for AI, including those from the European Commission's European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE), the Montreal Declaration, and the UK House of Lords Artificial Intelligence Committee.
These sets of principles have a high degree of overlap, and an overarching framework consisting of five core principles for ethical AI can be identified.

Beneficence

The principle of beneficence emphasizes the importance of promoting the well-being of people and the planet with AI.
This principle is prominent in several sets of ethical principles for AI, including the EGE, the UK House of Lords, and the Partnership on AI.

Non-Maleficence

The principle of non-maleficence cautions against the negative consequences of overusing or misusing AI technologies.
This principle is concerned with preventing infringements on personal privacy, security, and "capability caution".

Global Perspectives on AI Ethics

Ethics is not the preserve of a single continent or culture, and every company, government agency, and academic institution designing, developing, or deploying AI has an obligation to do so in line with an ethical framework.
Laws, rules, standards, and best practices to constrain or control AI should also engage with a unified framework of ethical principles.
