To examine the global state of AI ethics, a team of researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of global guidelines for AI use. The researchers found that while most of the guidelines valued Privacy, Transparency, and Accountability, very few valued Truthfulness, Intellectual Property, or Children's Rights.
Additionally, most of the guidelines described ethical principles and values without proposing practical methods for implementing them, and without pushing for legally binding regulation.To examine the global state of AI ethics, a team of researchers from Brazil performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of global guidelines for AI use.
To determine whether a global consensus exists regarding the ethical development and use of AI, and to help guide such a consensus, the researchers conducted a systematic review of policy and ethical guidelines published between 2014 and 2022. From this, they identified 200 documents related to AI ethics and governance from 37 countries and six continents and written or translated into five different languages .
Most of the guidelines were"normative" -- describing ethical values that should be considered during AI development and use -- while only 2% recommended practical methods of implementing AI ethics, and only 4.5% proposed legally binding forms of AI regulation."It's mostly voluntary commitments that say, 'these are some principles that we hold important,' but they lack practical implementations and legal requirements," says Santos.
"Our research demonstrates and reinforces our call for the Global South to wake up and a plea for the Global North to be ready to listen and welcome us," says co-author Camila Galvão of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul."We must not forget that we live in a plural, unequal, and diverse world.
