Artificial intelligence international principles
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, democracy, human rights, accountabilityAbstract
This article outlines and analyses international principles for the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI), based on an analysis of international legislation on the subject from the Organisation for the Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Council of Europe. The discussion focuses on six main points: human development, human rights and democracy, transparency, safety, accountability and cooperation. Initially, it is emphasized that artificial intelligence only makes sense to exist if it contributes to reducing economic inequalities and respects the rule of law, our recognized rights and the regime of popular decision. The article explores the fundamental importance of transparency and explainability for those affected by AI, especially those who interact with it voluntarily or who act in a legal relationship. The robustness, integrity and safety of AI are addressed from the perspective of the system’s need for reliability in the face of the challenges presented by the sociotechnical context. Finally, it establishes the importance of means of holding wrongdoers accountable and the broad coope-
ration of public and private entities to achieve all these objectives. In short, the document discusses the relevance already recognized on the international arena of ethical and legal principles for the use of AI, so that technology can be a tool for promoting the common good and not a threat to individuals.
