Introducing the Principled Artificial Intelligence Project

Alongside the rapid development of artificial intelligence, we've seen a proliferation of AI "principles," or guidelines for how AI should be built and used. Governments, companies, advocacy groups, and multi-stakeholder initiatives have all advanced perspectives. This project emerged from our curiosity about these principles. Were they wildly divergent, or was there enough commonality to suggest the emergence of sectoral norms? Some were framed as ethical in nature; others drew from human rights law.
