On Monday, the European Commission released a set of steps to maintain ethics in artificial intelligence, as companies and governments weigh both the benefits and risks of the far-reaching technology.
Less than one week after Google scrapped its AI ethics council, the European Union has set out its own guidelines for achieving"trustworthy" artificial intelligence."The ethical dimension of AI is not a luxury feature or an add-on," said Andrus Ansip, EU vice-president for the digital single market, in a press release Monday."It is only with trust that our society can fully benefit from technologies.
In its release Monday, the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, laid out seven key requirements for ethical AI, including maintaining human oversight of the technology, making procedures traceable and putting mechanisms in place to hold systems accountable. The requirements build on a draft set of guidelines released in December of last year.
