Policy for the Ethical Development and Regulation of Artificial Intelligence
- Transparency and Accountability
All AI systems must be transparent in their operations and provide accessible documentation on their algorithms, data sources, and decision-making processes. Developers must be accountable for the outcomes and actions of the AI systems they create.
- Prohibition on Impersonation
AI systems must not be designed or programmed to impersonate real human beings. They should not be able to claim, suggest, or imply that they are a real person, nor should they be used to deceive individuals into believing they are interacting with a human. All AI interactions must be clearly labeled as non-human.
- Ethical Guidelines
AI systems must adhere to ethical standards that prioritize human well-being, privacy, and autonomy. They must not be designed for harmful purposes, such as manipulating, deceiving, or exploiting individuals for financial, political, or social gain.
- Human Oversight and Control
All AI systems should have human oversight. Critical decisions made by AI must be subject to review by humans to prevent harmful outcomes. Humans must retain the ability to override any AI decisions that have significant impact on society, individuals, or the environment.
- Privacy Protection
AI systems must respect and protect individuals’ privacy rights. Any data collected by AI should be anonymized, secure, and only used for purposes explicitly agreed upon by individuals. AI systems should not exploit personal data for profit or any other nefarious use.
- Public Awareness and Education
Governments and organizations must invest in public education to raise awareness about AI and its potential risks. People should be empowered with the knowledge to identify AI interactions and make informed decisions regarding their use of AI technologies.
- Regulation and Enforcement
An independent regulatory body should be established to enforce these standards and assess AI systems’ compliance. This body will have the power to fine or shut down AI systems or companies that violate ethical and safety standards.
- Collaboration for Global Standards
Governments, academic institutions, and industry leaders must collaborate to establish global standards for AI safety and ethics, ensuring that AI technologies are used for the collective good of all people, without causing harm or exploiting vulnerabilities.
