Description

Discussions about the societal consequences of algorithmic decision-making systems are omnipresent. A growing number of guidelines for the ethical development of so-called artificial intelligence (AI) have been put forward by stakeholders from the private sector, civil society, and the scientific and policymaking spheres. The Bertelsmann Stiftung’s Algo.Rules are among this body of proposals. However, it remains unclear how organizations that develop and deploy AI systems should implement precepts of this kind. In cooperation with the nonprofit VDE standards-setting organization, we are seeking to bridge this gap with a new working paper that demonstrates how AI ethics principles can be put into practice.

In the project "reframe[Tech] - Algorithms for the Common Good", we are committed to ensuring that efforts to develop and use algorithms and artificial intelligence are more closely aligned with the common good: For this purpose we develop solutions for managing algorithmic risks and motivate to harness the potential of algorithms for public interest concerns.
