Structured sets of principles and guidelines designed to guide the ethical development and deployment of AI systems.
High-level documents (IEEE EAD, EU Ethics Guidelines) that articulate core values - fairness, transparency, accountability - and translate them into implementable requirements (impact assessments, human oversight). Organizations adopt or adapt frameworks to shape policies, training, procurement criteria, and audit protocols, ensuring a consistent ethical posture across all AI initiatives.
A global insurer adopts the OECD AI Principles as its ethical framework: it embeds “human agency” by requiring manual approval for all high-risk underwriting decisions, “privacy” via differential-privacy techniques, and “transparency” by publishing an annual AI ethics report.
