Khalida Sarwari, Northeastern University; Northeastern researchers team up with Accenture to offer a road map for artificial intelligence ethics oversight
"Now, Northeastern professors John Basl and Ron Sandler
are offering organizations guidance for how to create a well-designed
and effective committee based on similar models used in biomedical
research.
Maintaining that an ethics committee
that is adequately resourced and thoughtfully designed can play an
important role in mitigating digital risks and maintaining trust between
an organization and the public, the researchers provide a framework for
such a system in a new report produced in collaboration with global professional services company Accenture...
“If you want to
build a committee that works effectively and if you really want to build
ethical capacity within an organization, it’s a significant undertaking
where you can’t just throw together a few people with ethical
expertise,” says Sandler.
Added Basl: “We lay out the kinds of
experts an organization will need—someone who knows local laws, someone
who knows ethics, a variety of technical experts, and members of an
affected community. Who those individuals are, or what their particular
expertise is, depends on the kind of technology being developed and
deployed.”"
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD

Accenture.com; Building data and AI ethics committees
"In brief
"In brief
- Organizations face a difficult challenge when it comes to ethically-informed data collection, sharing and use.
- There is growing demand for incorporating ethical considerations into products and services involving big data, AI and machine learning.
- Outside of mere legal compliance, there is little guidance on how to incorporate this ethical consideration.
- To fill this gap, Northeastern University and Accenture explore the development of effective and well-functioning data and AI ethics committees."

Accenture CEO: Diversity and Inclusion Start From Within; Fortune, January 8, 2019

"Good leaders succeed by not only treating employees well, but also by measuring the results of building an inclusive work environment. After all, “the real driver of culture [outside of good leadership] is about how it feels to come into work every day,” Sweet says."
