AICC's Guiding Principles on AI

To establish a shared global stance on artificial intelligence, the AI Commons Consortium convened researchers, policymakers, and civil society leaders to develop a set of guiding principles for the responsible development of AI. These principles form a strategic framework for members and partners as they design, deploy, and govern AI technologies in service of people and communities.
