European Commission Seeks Feedback on Draft AI Ethics Guidelines
The European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence releases a draft framework for trustworthy AI. The group collects over 500 public comments to refine the guidelines before a final April 2019 delivery.
The European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence (AI HLEG) presents a new draft of the AI Ethics Guidelines. This working document aims to establish a clear framework for developing and deploying trustworthy artificial intelligence across Europe. It serves as a foundational step in shaping the continent's digital future.
Following its mid-December 2018 presentation, the group launches a public consultation process to gather diverse perspectives on the draft. This feedback period yields over 500 comments from various stakeholders before it closes in early February 2019. The AI HLEG takes this extensive public input seriously as it shapes the final policy recommendations.
Experts currently analyze the received feedback to prepare a revised version of the Ethics Guidelines. The updated document is scheduled for delivery to the European Commission by early April 2019. The commission makes the draft and its executive summary available in all official EU languages to ensure broad accessibility and public awareness.
