Operationalising Ethics for AI: Translation, Implementation and Accountability Challenges

Professor Irina Shklovski’s research project will produce a comprehensive audit of existing technical tools and methods for achieving better and more ethical Al systems; interrogate epistemic assumptions and contestations at work within research and industry efforts towards algorithmic explainability by focusing on the questions of what is being explained, to whom, how, and why;  prototype an operationalising ethics in Al toolkit, taking into account the three epistemic gaps of translation, implementation and accountability and test and evaluate this prototype with a broad community of technologists from across the spectrum, including academics, industry and non-profit organizations.
