POLICY THINK TANK
Policy support
Co-design approach
Recommendations avoiding AI bias, Explainable Artificial Intelligence, improving algorithmic/AI transparency and accountability etc.
Link up with EU policy
Involve stakeholders for complex ethical and policy issues Drafting of ethical codes and guidelines
Societal outreach
Make AI developments visible for society, and promote ethical and socially responsible deployment, focusing on both positive and negative points
Public outreach efforts, Public awareness raising and empowerment
Following up on media representation of AI: mapping change in different (mis)representations of AI
Thought leadership
Societal and ethical aspects of AI Attract thought international leaders Programme of work related to societal and ethical aspects
Legal challenges of AI
Baseline principles, constraints and touchstone cases Systematic inventory of the issues to adjust current laws Identify systemic changes requiring legislative shifts New public policy models to regulate such systems Certification of adaptive and non-deterministic systems liability allocation amongst the actors
Openness of AI systems, e.g. source code, data, safety Adherence to the European standards of privacy and data
Policy and society validation/certification
test environment/regulatory sandbox for Human AI data mapping, bias detection, ethical issues, ‘AI exam’
acceptance and behavioural tests, co-working with AI
