Responsible AI, ethics, and the AI lifecycle: how to consider the human influence?

  • Continuing the digital revolution, AI is capable to transform our world. Thanks to its novelty, we can define how we, as a society, envision this fascinating technology to integrate with existing processes. The EU AI Act follows a risk-based approach, and we argue that addressing the human influence, which poses risks along the AI lifecycle is crucial to ensure the desired quality of the model’s transition from research to reality. Therefore, we propose a holistic approach that aims to continuously guide the involved stakeholders’ mindset, namely developers and domain experts, among others towards Responsible AI (RAI) lifecycle management. Focusing on the development view with regard to regulation, our proposed four pillars comprise the well-known concepts of Generalizability, Adaptability and Translationality. In addition, we introduce Transversality (Welsch in Vernunft: Die Zeitgenössische Vernunftkritik Und Das Konzept der Transversalen Vernunft, Suhrkamp, Frankfurt am Main, 1995),Continuing the digital revolution, AI is capable to transform our world.

Overall, we aim to provide an application-oriented summary of RAI. Our goal is to distill RAI-related principles into a concise set of concepts that emphasize implementation quality. Concluding, we introduce the ethical foundation’s transition to an applicable ethos for RAI projects as part of on-going research.show moreshow less
