Method
Each of the seven principles is briefly described in the framework. Furthermore, the framework has also developed questions that you can follow so that you observe the principles sufficiently during the design of your AI.
The seven principles are:
1. Be clear about the benefits of your product or service.
2. Know and manage your risks
3. Be responsible with your data
4. Be reliable
5. Guarantee diversity, equality and inclusion
6. Be transparent and understandable in your communication
7. Keep your business plan in mind
These are not explicit ethical principles, but they can contribute to a more ethical AI system.
Result
This framework gives you a good starting point to create a thoughtful ethical AI system. To be precise, this is more a reflection on your product. It is possible to do this exercise several times and document it, so that you can demonstrate how different ethical principles have been taken into account.
