Leading AI researchers propose 'toolbox' for verifying ethics claims

Researchers from OpenAI, Google Brain, Intel, and 28 other leading organisations have published a paper which proposes a'toolbox' for verifying AI ethics claims. With concerns around AI spanning from dangerous indifference to innovation-halting scaremongering; it's clear there's a need for a system to achieve a healthy balance. "AI systems have been developed in ways that are inconsistent with the stated values of those developing them," the researchers wrote. "This has led to a rise in concern, research, and activism relating to the impacts of AI systems." The researchers note that significant work has gone into articulating ethical principles by many players involved with AI development, but the claims are meaningless without some way to verify them.
