Ethics Regulations for Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning(ML) is becoming increasingly important for mobility. That is why Continental has now developed a code of ethics for AI/ML. It applies to all Continental locations worldwide and serves as a guide for all collaboration partners of the company. "Artificial intelligence can and must only be programmed and used in accordance with clear ethical principles," explains Dirk Abendroth, chief technology officer of Continental Automotive. "Smart algorithms play a huge role in the automotive industry, such as in the case of autonomous driving. As a technology company, we are responsible for ensuring that all our product developments and internal processes are in keeping with ethical standards. This is why AI-based decision-making must always be nondiscriminatory."
