The new programme “brings socio-technical standards” and provides “guidance and considerations to aid the development of trustworthy AI to the global community”
“By making available vital building blocks, the IEEE GET Program for AI Ethics and Governance Standards will help contribute to creating AI systems which are more trustworthy and further the goal of raising awareness and understanding of the importance of the AI ethics issues and how they can be addressed. The program can help AI developers incorporate human-centric design principles into their product roadmaps and organizational and governance structures, and to level up business processes such as procurement, marketing, and risk management.”
IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, and the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) have announced the GET Program to “support global AI literacy”..
“Under the IEEE GET Program, selected standards are made available, free of charge, to encourage adoption and use of standards that contribute to advancing technology for humanity in key areas”
The programme will help contribute to creating AI systems which are more trustworthy and further the goal of raising awareness and understanding of the importance of the AI ethics issues and how they can be addressed.
The hope is that the programme will help AI developers to incorporate human-centric design principles into their product roadmaps and organisational and to improve governance structures and business processes such as procurement, marketing, and risk management.
“Internationally operating organizations need internationally compliant AI Ethics and Governance standards. AI Standards Literacy is an important facet to demonstrating compliance and encouraging ongoing trustworthy relationships with users. At Ernst and Young, we were involved in both the development of the IEEE standards and a big supporter of the certification program from the start. It supports our clients and stakeholders to achieve their aims as we move towards an ever more-responsible world.”
Dr. Eva-Marie Muller-Stuler, Partner, Ernst and Young
With support from the IEEE SA, industry sponsors and government, a number of IEEE standards are available for download at no cost through the IEEE GET Program. Access the new IEEE GET Program for AI Ethics Governance Standards on the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
