ethics &
governance
The work of the ethics and governance action group is grounded in a vision of AI that is human-centred, fair, equitable, inclusive and respectful of human rights and democracy, and aims at contributing positively to the public good.
The ethics and governance group will strive to provide the tech community in Brighton and the wider region an AI Implementation Framework for engaging with AI. Ethical principles and guidelines that ensure the appropriate use of AI-powered technologies in accordance with ethical, legal, and social considerations congruent with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our mandate aligns closely with the mission behind brighton ai, striving to foster and contribute to the responsible development and use of AI-powered technologies. Participation is free and voluntary.
The group collaborates with other brighton ai groups when projects share similar dimensions.
