Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based systems and their increasingly common use have made it a ubiquitous technology; Machine Learning algorithms are present in streaming services, social networks, and in the health sector. However, implementing this emerging technology carries significant social and ethical risks and implications. Without ethical development of such systems, there is the potential for this technology to undermine people’s autonomy, privacy, and equity, even affecting human rights. Considering the approaches necessary for ethical development and effective governance of AI, such as ethical principles, guidelines, and technical tools, the question arises regarding the limitations of implementing these measures by the highly technical personnel involved in the process. In this context, we propose the creation of a typology that distinguishes the different stages of the AI life-cycle, the high-level ethical principles that should govern their implementation, and the tools with the potential to foster compliance with these principles, encompassing both technical and conceptual resources. In addition, this typology will include relevant information such as developmental level, related tasks, sectors, and language. Our research is based on a systematic review in which we identified 352 resources and tools. We expect this contribution to be valuable in promoting ethical AI development for developers and leaders who manage these initiatives. The complete typology and the comprehensive list of resources are available for consultation at https://ricardo-ob.github.io/tools4responsibleai .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
