Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI (European Commission)

The Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI by the European Commission outline principles to ensure AI systems are developed and used responsibly. They emphasize that AI should be lawful, respect fundamental rights, and be robust and safe. The guidelines highlight three main ethical principles: respecting human oversight, ensuring transparency so users understand AI's role, and promoting fairness by preventing bias. Developers and organizations are encouraged to evaluate AI impacts, involve stakeholders, and implement ethical practices throughout the AI lifecycle, fostering trust and societal benefit while minimizing harm.
