The Aletheia Framework is a practical one-page toolkit that guides developers, executives and boards both prior to deploying an AI, and during its use. A second version has been dwveloped by Caroline Gorski and her team at R2 Data Labs, Rolls Royce to be applicable accross a wise range of secotors.
This is how they describe it:
“It asks them to consider 32 facets of social impact, governance and trust and transparency and to provide evidence which can then be used to engage with approvers, stakeholders or auditors.
A new module added in December 2021 is a tried and tested way to identify and help mitigate the risk of bias in training data and AIs. This complements the existing five-step continuous automated checking process, which, if comprehensively applied, tracks the decisions the AI is making to detect bias in service or malfunction and allow human intervention to control and correct it.”
I commented on the original version of The Aletheia Framework, and it deals with many of the same areas in education as it does for Rolls-Royce in manufacturing – ethics, impact, compliance, data protection. So, I saw an equivalence there and the Institute for AI Ethics in Eduction adapted The Aletheia Framework for its needs.
Here are the two videos I made with Rolls Royce to mark the new version:
First on why practical ethics matters right now to build public trust
