AI ethics is increasingly getting attention and gaining importance in academia, industry, and government. Over the last 5 years, more than 100 sets of AI ethics principles have been released around the world. Leading academic institutions open positions that integrate AI ethics into their faculties and areas of research. And “chief ethics officer” is now a position that exists in various tech companies. Still, there does not exist a standard structure for the practice and governance of AI ethics. In this talk, Dr. Canca will explain the scope and focus of AI ethics as a discipline and how its concerns materialize within the innovation cycle. She will introduce a model to integrate AI ethics into the innovation process and into the organizational structure. And finally, she will touch upon the bidirectional relationship between AI ethics and AI policies.
