Ethical AI and Ethical AI Certification and Maturity Model™

Content from the Ethical AI Brochure

"Ethics for Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming a global phenomenon. It is widely acknowledged by the majority of democratic nations, business and academia as the new standard for AI-centric world futures. The purpose of AI Ethics is to ensure the impeccable quality of Artificial Intelligence and guarantee that its usage, application and behaviour, flawlessly benefit society, to stimulate innovation and commerce.

As a consequence, our world requires a framework to build an ethical foundation to align the futures of humans and Artificial Intelligence. This bedrock must equip us to baseline the ethical quality of AI today and allow us to mature this relationship on an on-going basis. The new blueprint for our world demands us to build an ethical and evolutionary foundation designed by humans for machines, in order to continually shepherd and mature a beneficial partnership between these two intelligences."

Benefits and Setting the Standard for Ethical AI

The uniqueness of the Ethical AI Certification and Maturity Model™ equips national and regional government, businesses and organisations to take charge and set the standard for the ethical-centric futures of humans and machines.

Some of the benefits of using this world first and unique model are :

1. Inclusive and easy to use by incumbent and new stakeholders
2. Caters for all Artificial Intelligences of today and tomorrow
3. Enables nations and regions to set the Ethical AI Standard for their societies
4. Sets the Ethical AI Standard for business, organisations and commerce
5. Incorporates existing AI Governance and progresses their advancement
6. Democratises innovation and equips stakeholders to collectively shepherd Ethical AI world futures
7. Liberates a common Ethical AI Foundation that caters for cultural and democratic differences
8. Liberates new ethical-centric societies and markets via a common framework for collaboration and partnership
9. Powerful blueprint to liberate an ethical-centric paradigm shift for humans and machines

This revolutionary innovation enables our world to build a global ethical foundation that is embodied within machines. It is ideally suited to power deployment of the UNESCO AI and AI Ethics recommendations for its 193 member countries and go much further in Ethical AI.

’’ Artificial Intelligence and Humanity are mirrors to each other. The quality of each intelligence is reflected , inviting them to align, mature and experience purely ethical-centric world futures - World 3.0’’ 

- quote from the Ethical AI Brochure.

Most people will have heard of Alan Turing aka "The Prof". 

A British citizen, famous mathematical genius considered as one of the founding fathers of Artificial Intelligence.  The Prof is respected by history for inventing  a complex electro-mechanical computing machine, The Bombe,  that automated  breaking of encoded transmissions during WW2 by the "uncrackable" Enigma Machine.  It is estimated that his computing machine saved tens of millions of lives during World War 2 and enabled victory for the Allies.  

Furthermore, Alan Turing is widely respected for proposing the Turing Test that pose a series of inquiries to determine whether a computer's thinking is equivalent to that of a human. These are subjective questions to achieve an object outcome i.e. is this computer or, in our case, Artificial Intelligence, behaving equivalently to that of a human.  

Today, The Turing Test remains as the benchmark to certify if an AI shows the equivalent thinking to that of a human. Even though the field of Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly, humanity has yet to invent a digital intelligence that passes this test.

The game is afoot!

Our world requires a framework to build an ethical  foundation to align the futures of humans and Artificial Intelligence. It must equip us to baseline the ethical quality of AI today and allow us to mature this relationship on an on going basis. Effectively our world requires an evolutionary and ethical foundation designed by humans for machines. 

This is why Evolutionary Ethics for Artificial Intelligence™ is key to these flourishing futures. As part of its strategy it proposes an Ethical AI Certification and Maturity Model™  to align human and digital  intelligences. This model is simple to understand and use, whilst catering for the diverse complexity of human and digital factors that determine ethical quality .

It is well known that standards stimulate innovation, develop markets, catalyse economic growth and create new impact within society. This is the purpose of the Ethical AI Certification and Maturity Model™. It does just that.

Ethics and world views differ, whether overtly or subtly, between civilisations, communities and individuals. Protecting our diversity is key to continuing the richness within our global community.  This is the purpose of the Ethical AI Certification and Maturity Model™. It is flexible to cater for diverse world views whilst at the same time  liberates transparency for trusted collaboration to provision and exchange ethical-centric AI technologies and services. 

The Alan Turing test is a world class standard acknowledged in the fields of Artificial Intelligence. We can take a similar approach when measuring the ethical quality of AI i.e. ask subjective questions to achieve object outcomes. However, we must move beyond the pass or failure outcome and create a certification model that measures the degree of ethicalness of an AI and enable this quality to mature over a period of time e.g. from Bronze to Platinum futures.  This methodology is powerful. It allows us to measure and baseline the ethical quality of any AI today and assist us to advance into purely ethical-centric futures.
