The ethical issues around AI are numerous and diverse.
These problems generated an especially large amount of attention from various groups, like policymakers, industry bodies, practitioners and the general public.
The most important de-jure or proto-de-jure and soft law outcomes of this attention are the following:
- EU ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ACT 21.4.2021 COM(2021) 206 (to be ratified in 2022?)
- IEEE 7000-2021 Standard Model Process for Addressing Ethical Concerns During System Design (accepted in spring of 2021)
- UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (adopted by members in November 2021)
- OECD Recommendation of the Council on Artificial Intelligence (2019)
Some of the more important supporting theoretical documents:
- IEEE Ethically Aligned Design principles (2019)
- EU White Paper on Artificial Intelligence COM(2020) 65 (2020)
- EU AI HLEG Ethics Guidelines for trustworthy AI (2019)
- Preparing for the future of artificial intelligence (A report to the white house) 2016
