OPERATIONALIZING AI ETHICS FOR LEARNING AND PRACTICE: A GLOBAL APPROACH

Project description

Actionable guidelines for AI ethics

Regulations such as the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and global AI frameworks aim to provide a structure for managing the growing use of AI. However, a gap remains between ethical values and their practical implementation. To address this, the EU-funded AIOLIA project will take a bottom-up, global approach to operationalising AI ethics in relation to human behaviour. It will tackle the challenges of interpreting the AI Act and global AI regulations by translating high-level principles into actionable guidelines. These guidelines will be co-created by academics, policymakers and industry partners through the selection of real-world use cases. AIOLIA will develop inclusive training materials, lectures, videos, podcasts and a chatbot to effectively teach AI ethics.

Objective

AIOLIA gives a robust 3-tier response to the complex challenges posed by the need to operationally interpret the EU AI Act and global AI regulation. (1) Recognizing the gap between ethical values and their practical application in engineering, AIOLIA pioneers a bottom-up approach to operationalize AI ethics with regard to human condition and behaviour. Following a selection of real-world use cases, AIOLIA translates high-level principles into actionable and contextual guidelines co-created by leading academic, policy, and ethics-aware industrial partners who represent diverse professional and geographic European and international contexts. (2) AIOLIA's commitment to context-sensitivity is deepened by crafting modular, inclusive training materials following the ADDIE methodology designed to cater to diverse learning needs. Hosted on the Embassy of Good Science, AIOLIA materials will range from lectures, videos, and mock reviews to such innovative formats as podcasts, Tiktoks, and a chatbot teaching AI ethics. (3) AIOLIA's outreach is amplified by encompassing 7 research ethics and integrity networks and 3 prominent computer science networks. This strategic alignment enables us to effectively recruit training participants and disseminate human-centric ethics guidelines to a wide spectrum of stakeholders, from ethics experts to early-stage researchers and policymakers worldwide. Resolutely European, AIOLIA's vision propagates beyond EU, embracing global cooperation with leading universities and think tanks in China, South Korea, Japan, and Canada. Utilizing UNESCO platform with its reach to Africa and South Asia, AIOLIA’s guidelines evolve into an analytic toolbox for key international AI dialogues and processes. This global perspective ensures that AIOLIA's impact is not only significant but also sustainable, contributing to fair scientific cooperation and providing concrete and culturally informed ethics instruments to shape the next generation of AI systems.
