Why Now?

While human-level artificial intelligence has not been achieved yet, the implications that arise from the integration of AI into human societies are visible in the narrow fields already. By understanding how people live their values, businesses can and must instill ethical frameworks into the technologies of the future, but more importanly, be transparent about how their technologies function.

What’s Next?

We're building a decentralized approach to self-disclosure. Open Ethics is about making clear how autonomous technologies make their decisions. We bring a standardized and fast way for product owners to clearly communicate the decision space, training data, and algorithms which are core to their machine learning solutions.

How it Works?
Open Ethics badge

Self-disclosure schema and user-friendly guidelines of this process will be available to developers. Solutions completing the self-disclosure process will be provided with the badge to display their commitment to transparency.
