Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper we focus on artificial intelligence (AI) for governance, not governance for AI, and on just one aspect of
governance, namely ethics audit. Different kinds of ethical audit bots are possible, but who makes the choices and what
are the implications? In this paper, we do not provide ethical/philosophical solutions, but rather focus on the technical
aspects of what an AI-based solution for validating the ethical soundness of a target system would be like. We propose a
system that is able to conduct an ethical audit of a target system, given certain socio-technical conditions. To be more
specific, we propose the creation of a bot that is able to support organisations in ensuring that their software development
lifecycles contain processes that meet certain ethical standards. |
