The Faculty Ethics Committee on AI Technology supports Enterprise Technology in advising on ethical practices and responsible design of AI technology in an environment of constant change. The committee’s primary responsibility is to review, advise, and shape guidelines/guardrails related to AI uses in technology products. The group has three main goals:
- Contribute to the development and continual evolution of guidelines and guardrails that AI-enabled technology products should adhere to.
- Committee members are involved in the technology development process, reviewing AI-enabled technology solutions in various stages, from proposed to developed, to guide adherence to ethical practices and uses.
- Contribute to white papers, meetings, or other educational forums to help the team and broader ASU community stay up-to-date on the latest in AI ethics in technology.
The committee’s expertise in ethics and AI’s potential implications enables them to analyze the ethical challenges associated with AI technologies, including data privacy, bias, transparency, and social impact. By collaborating with different stakeholders, such as researchers, administrators, and external experts, the committee fosters a comprehensive understanding of AI’s ethical complexities.
With their collective knowledge, the committee strives to establish an ethical framework that aligns with the university’s values and meets societal expectations. They also play a role in providing educational resources and conducting educational campaigns to promote responsible AI use and cultivate an ethical AI technology culture.
