Ethical AI Certification
A formal recognition that an AI system adheres to established ethical standards and guidelines.
Definition
Involves independent assessment against a code of ethics—fairness, transparency, privacy, accountability—and issuance of a certification mark. Certification bodies may audit code, data, governance processes, and model outputs, with periodic re-evaluation. Certified AI systems gain market trust and help organizations demonstrate compliance with ethical commitments.
Real-World Example
A recruitment-platform vendor obtains an Ethical AI Certification from a recognized body: auditors review its bias-mitigation processes, data-privacy controls, and explainability measures. The certification badge on the vendor’s website boosts sales to compliance-conscious HR departments.
