On December 2nd, at the AI4People Advancing Ethical AI Governance Summit, we presented the AI4People’s Playbook: Implementing a Proportional Approach to Ethical AI Requirements.
This publication represents an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to promote the responsible development and deployment of AI systems across sectors.
The aim of the Playbook is to promote a balanced and pragmatic approach to core ethical principles, one that goes “beyond regulatory compliance”. By offering actionable recommendations, highlighting existing resources, and showcasing real-world use cases and activities, the guidance emphasizes that adopting an ethical perspective is the most effective way to prevent costly mistakes.
The AI4People Playbook breaks down AI ethics into actionable steps, and it includes instructions and practical material to support capacity-building activities, empowering you to put principles into practice effectively. While many resources support responsible AI, from the AI Office’s GPAI Code of Practice to various global standards and simplified guides, this playbook stands out for its clear, straightforward message: AI ethics goes beyond compliance, and can be applied proportionally, regardless of how your AI system is classified.
This Playbook is designed for a broad range of audiences involved in developing or interacting with AI systems. Whether you are new to AI ethics or an experienced professional looking for practical guidance, this playbook intends to provide valuable information, hands-on activities, and a curated list of resources to support you.
This playbook is intended as a beta version, and a living document. It will continue to evolve with the growing capabilities of AI, input from users, stakeholders, and interested parties.
We look forward to continuing this work collaboratively and refining the Playbook together with the wider community: please share your thoughts with us at info@ai4people.org.
