AI Impacting Ethics: Harnessing Toolkits for AI and Data Science

Jennifer Stirrup

Ethical toolkits guide executive decision-makers and developers to align AI strategies with ethical principles and corporate social responsibility. There is a need for ethical toolkits to guide AI practitioners, but how do you know where to start? Using Microsoft technology, the ‘show and tell’ session presents an overview of current ethical toolkits integrating ethical considerations into the AI development lifecycle. We will look at developer-oriented toolkits as well as broader, business-focused toolkits. These toolkits address essential aspects such as fairness, accountability, transparency, and privacy. The session compares developer-centric and business-focused ethical toolkits, highlighting their strengths and limitations. The session will also examine integrating both approaches to create a holistic ethical framework for AI.
