Safe and Ethical AI (SEA) Platform Network · Linking Artificial Intelligence Principles (LAIP)

· We will make AI systems fair

1. Data ingested should, where possible, be representative of the affected population 2. Algorithms should avoid non operational bias 3. Steps should be taken to mitigate and disclose the biases inherent in datasets 4. Significant decisions should be provably fair

· We will make AI systems accountable

1. Accountability for the outcomes of an AI system lies not with the system itself but is apportioned between those who design, develop and deploy it 2. Developers should make efforts to mitigate the risks inherent in the systems they design 3. AI systems should have built in appeals procedures whereby users can challenge significant decisions 4. AI systems should be developed by diverse teams which include experts in the area in which the system will be deployed

· We will make AI systems as explainable as technically possible

1. Decisions and methodologies of AI systems which have a significant effect on individuals should be explainable to them, to the extent permitted by available technology 2. It should be possible to ascertain the key factors leading to any specific decision that could have a significant effect on an individual 3. In the above situation we will provide channels through which people can request such explanations

· We will make AI systems transparent

1. Developers should build systems whose failures can be traced and diagnosed 2. People should be told when significant decisions about them are being made by AI 3. Within the limits of privacy and the preservation of intellectual property, those who deploy AI systems should be transparent about the data and algorithms they use

· AI systems will be safe, secure and controllable by humans

1. Safety and security of the people, be they operators, end users or other parties, will be of paramount concern in the design of any AI system 2. AI systems should be verifiably secure and controllable throughout their operational lifetime, to the extent permitted by technology 3. The continued security and privacy of users should be considered when decommissioning AI systems 4. AI systems that may directly impact people’s lives in a significant way should receive commensurate care in their designs, and; 5. Such systems should be able to be overridden or their decisions reversed by designated people

· Proportionality and Do No Harm

25. It should be recognized that AI technologies do not necessarily, per se, ensure human and environmental and ecosystem flourishing. Furthermore, none of the processes related to the AI system life cycle shall exceed what is necessary to achieve legitimate aims or objectives and should be appropriate to the context. In the event of possible occurrence of any harm to human beings, human rights and fundamental freedoms, communities and society at large or the environment and ecosystems, the implementation of procedures for risk assessment and the adoption of measures in order to preclude the occurrence of such harm should be ensured. 26. The choice to use AI systems and which AI method to use should be justified in the following ways: (a) the AI method chosen should be appropriate and proportional to achieve a given legitimate aim; (b) the AI method chosen should not infringe upon the foundational values captured in this document, in particular, its use must not violate or abuse human rights; and (c) the AI method should be appropriate to the context and should be based on rigorous scientific foundations. In scenarios where decisions are understood to have an impact that is irreversible or difficult to reverse or may involve life and death decisions, final human determination should apply. In particular, AI systems should not be used for social scoring or mass surveillance purposes.
