Launch of the "Ethical AI" initiative for ethical, responsible and trustworthy AI - Actu IA

In order to provide committed actors with a practical tool to design, develop and manage artificial intelligence systems that respect fundamental human rights, Numeum, together with its partners, is launching the Ethical AI project. This initiative is based on three major actions: a manifesto to formalize the commitment of the players, a practical guide to rely on a methodology and tools, and a community of members who will have the opportunity to exchange ideas to progress. At the end of 2020, six collective intelligence sessions were conducted and brought together 360 participants (coders, developers, data scientists, data architects, data engineers, AI product managers, testers, DPOs or lawyers, etc.). They all participated in workshops to dissect the main theoretical principles of ethical AI and to imagine ways to apply them in practice to the various components of the technology (algorithm, data, etc.). These six exchanges resulted in a Practical Guide that proposes a useful method for operationalizing the major ethical principles during the design, development and deployment of AI solutions. It is this guide that is the anchor of the Ethical AI initiative.
