Unlocking the power of data using algorithms and intelligent systems has the potential to help tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges. Most of us set out to launch AI projects because we want to make a positive impact in the world. However, regardless of our intent, if we are not careful in making the incremental design and deployment decisions, our well-intentioned technology can fail or have serious negative societal and ethical consequences. Thinking through what those consequences could be can give you the foresight you need to avoid such failures and maximize the benefits of the technology for everyone.
We designed Foresight in AI Ethics (FAIE) as a toolkit to help you build an ethics roadmap that is tailored to your particular project. The process highlighted in toolkit is born out of our work in providing AI ethics consulting in 2017. It is a systematic way you can follow to uncover what key ethics issues are relevant to your project and strategize how to better anticipate, manage, and act to mitigate the ethics issues. This toolkit can introduce AI ethics foresight early in the design and deployment process, rather than serve as an auditing or evaluation tool.
