Table 1 Overarching thematic issues
Issue | Brief Description |
|---|---|
Appropriateness of building AI | A central question that must be asked when exploring the ethical status of AI-focused projects is whether it is appropriate or necessary to build AI in the first place |
Transferability of AI systems | Whether and how AI systems can be transferred and function in new jurisdictional contexts or communities, and what new training processes might be required to ensure their benefit |
Accountability for AI decision-making and outcomes | How accountabilities are identified in the development and deployment of AI systems where many actors are involved and often located in different jurisdictions. What guidelines apply for accountabilities in partnership with commercial entities |
Individual Consent | Conventional notions of consent have been compromised by the secondary use of ever-larger datasets to develop AI technologies. When and how data from publics are used in such projects requires new models of considering consent, which is a central issue from a research ethics perspective |
