AI resources update: 1. AI Ethics and Governance in Practice Program | 2. Global AI Ethics and Governance Observatory

This article is part of an ongoing series looking at AI in KM, and KM in AI.

This AI resources update features two resources that can assist the implementation of ethical and responsible AI in knowledge management (KM):

  1. AI Ethics and Governance in Practice Program.
  2. UNESCO Global AI Ethics and Governance Observatory.

1. AI Ethics and Governance in Practice Program

The Turing Institute’s AI Ethics and Governance in Practice Program is composed of eight modules that provide end-to-end guidance to help AI project teams put ethical values and practical principles into practice across the AI project lifecycle.

Central to this guidance is the Process-Based Governance (PBG) Framework, a multi-tiered governance model designed to assist AI project teams in ensuring that the AI technologies they build, procure, or use are ethical, safe, and responsible.

The Program is designed for the public sector, but is likely to be more widely applicable, including to organizations that are carrying out AI consulting work for public sector agencies.

2. UNESCO Global AI Ethics and Governance Observatory

The aim of the UNESCO Global AI Ethics and Governance Observatory is to provide a global resource for policymakers, regulators, academics, the private sector and civil society to find solutions to the most pressing challenges posed by artificial intelligence.

The Observatory showcases information about the readiness of countries to adopt AI ethically and responsibly. It also hosts the AI Ethics and Governance Lab, which gathers contributions, impactful research, toolkits and good practices across a range of issues related to AI ethics, governance, responsible innovation, standards, institutional capacities, generative AI, and neurotechnologies.
