Example: Imagine you’re using a smart algorithm to determine who gets a loan. If the algorithm denies someone
a loan, they have the right to know why. Explainable AI provides this explanation, helping people understand how
decisions are made and why certain outcomes occur.
Robustness
Robustness in AI ethics refers to the capacity of AI systems to perform reliably and accurately
across various conditions, while minimising unintended consequences and harmful impacts. It is
a fundamental aspect of ethical AI because unreliable or biased systems can lead to significant
societal harm. Robustness in AI systems implies their ability to deliver precise and dependable
outcomes under various circumstances and for longer periods. It ensures that AI algorithms
and systems function as intended without facing unforeseen errors or deviating from their
designated behaviour.
Example: Self-driving cars need to be robust to operate safely in various weather conditions and road scenarios. A
robust AI system in a self-driving car should be able to correctly identify and respond to pedestrians in both clear and
foggy conditions.
Transparency
Transparency in AI means being open and clear about how AI systems are created, how they
work, and what impacts they might have. It involves providing straightforward information about
the data, algorithms, and decision-making processes used in AI applications. This openness
encourages accountability, allows for scrutiny, and helps people to make informed choices about
the ethical and social implications of AI technologies.
Example: Social media platforms using AI to moderate content should disclose the criteria and algorithms they use
to flag or remove posts. If a platform removes content for hate speech, it should clearly explain the rules and the AI’s
decision-making process to the users.
Privacy
Privacy involves individuals having control over their personal information and avoiding
unwarranted interference in their lives. It encompasses the right to keep aspects of one's life
private, such as private messages, activities, and data. Privacy is crucial as it safeguards individual
autonomy, dignity, and freedom from unnecessary intrusion.
Example: An AI-powered personal assistant, like Siri or Alexa, should ensure that users’ voice
recordings and personal data are kept secure and not misused. These assistants should not store or share sensitive
information without explicit user consent, and data encryption should be used to protect user privacy.
