How We can help you:
Our consultancy aims to provide ethical guidance and support for businesses that are developing artificial intelligence (AI) or that employ AI in their operations. As AI continues to grow and evolve, we believe it is important for businesses to understand the ethical implications of their development or use of AI. Our consultancy will provide expert advice, training, and support to help businesses navigate this complex landscape and ensure that they are operating in a responsible and ethical manner that will allow them to promote a better public image, avoid being blindsided by regulations, and operate more consistently with internal ethical standards. All of this will help your business's bottom line.
Typical actions we take:
· Meet with CEO or company’s directors to discuss the company’s objectives and concerns regarding AI, and to discuss how our consultancy can help.
· Meet with CEO (and possibly C-Suite) to clarify the company’s general ethical stance toward its work.
· Meet with company stakeholders to do presentation on the latest AI, its upsides, its potential pitfalls for the company, regulations that exist about AI, regulations that are likely.
· In consultation with key stakeholders, devise metrics to judge proposed projects based on the company’s values and goals, in conjunction with standard normative ethics.
· Conduct workshops for employees about doing ethical assessments of projects.
· Consultation on putting together an internal ethics board.
