AI Ethics Auditing: From Regulatory Push to Building Trustworthy AI
AI systems are increasingly scrutinized for bias and unintended consequences, leading to the rise of AI ethics auditing. This emerging practice aims to evaluate these systems, driven primarily by expected regulations and the need to maintain a positive public image. Though still developing, these audits face challenges including regulatory ambiguity, difficulties in coordinating various expertise, and limited resources. Ultimately, they aim to ensure AI aligns with ethical principles, minimizing potential harm and fostering responsible AI innovation.
