Ethics at the heart of AI

Authored by Langlois and colleagues, this document is the result of a collaborative effort involving specialists in ethics, philosophy, computer science and economics. Its goal is to detail and clarify the role ethics should play in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by highlighting how this notion can be applied and implemented effectively and successfully. It advocates for an ethic focused on reflexivity and dialogue, and it concerns all those involved in the development of AI, whether directly or indirectly.

The document also highlights the practical methodological approach used to construct the Montreal Declaration, and also proposes a number of recommendations. In short, this paper argues for the inclusion of a genuine ethical reflection at all stages of the AI developmental process. It is a call for collaboration between ethicists, developers and members of the industry, to truly put ethics at the heart of AI.
