AUTOMATING SOCIETY REPORT 2020
By AlgorithmWatchRECOMMENDATIONS
Germany
In light of the findings detailed in the 2020 edition of the Automating Society report, we recommend the following set of policy interventions to policymakers in the EU parliament and Member States’ parliaments, the EU Commission, national governments, researchers, civil society organizations (advocacy organizations, foundations, labor unions, etc.), and the private sector (companies and business associations). The recommendations aim to better ensure that ADM systems currently being deployed and those about to be implemented throughout Europe are effectively consistent with human rights and democracy.The EqualAI Framework

The Ethics of AI Ethics – An Evaluation of Guidelines
RESEARCH
Current advances in research, development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) systems have yielded a far-reaching discourse on AI ethics. In consequence, a number of ethics guidelines have been released in recent years. These guidelines comprise normative principles and recommendations aimed to harness the “disruptive” potentials of new AI technologies...

Standards for AI Governance: International Standards to Enable Global Coordination in AI Research & Development
By Future of Humanity Institute – University of OxfordSTANDARDS
UK
Standards are an institution for coordination. Standards ensure that products made around the world are interoperable. They ensure that management processes for cybersecurity, quality assurance, environmental sustainability, and more are consistent no matter where they happen. Standards provide the institutional infrastructure needed to develop new technologies, and they provide safety procedures to do so in a controlled manner. Standards can do all of this, too, in the research and development of artificial intelligence (AI)...
From What to How: An initial review of publicly available AI Ethics Tools, Methods and Research to translate principles into practices
RESEARCH
The debate about the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence dates from the 1960s. However, in recent years symbolic AI has been complemented and sometimes replaced by Neural Networks and Machine Learning techniques. This has vastly increased its potential utility and impact on society, with the consequence that the ethical debate has gone mainstream. Such debate has primarily focused on principles - the what of AI ethics - rather than on practices, the how. Awareness of the potential issues is increasing at a fast rate, but the AI community's ability to take action to mitigate the associated risks is still at its infancy. Therefore, our intention in presenting this research is to contribute to closing the gap between principles and practices by constructing a typology that may help practically-minded developers apply ethics at each stage of the pipeline, and to signal to researchers where further work is needed. The focus is exclusively on Machine Learning, but it is hoped that the results of this research may be easily applicable to other branches of AI. The article outlines the research method for creating this typology, the initial findings, and provides a summary of future research needs...
Decision Point in AI Governance
By Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity – UC BerkeleyRESEARCH
USA
This paper provides an overview of efforts already under way to resolve the translational gap between principles and practice, ranging from tools and frameworks to standards and initiatives that can be applied at different stages of the AI development pipeline. The paper presents a typology and catalog of 35 recent efforts to implement AI principles, and explores three case studies in depth. Selected for their scope, scale, and novelty, these case studies can serve as a guide for other AI stakeholders — whether companies, communities, or national governments — facing decisions about how to operationalize AI principles...
