+ Do not design or deploy AI in the following application areas: Weapons or technologies that are likely to
cause harm to humanity, have purpose of causing or facilitating injury to human, technologies that gather or
use information for surveillance violating internationally accepted norms, or technologies that are against
widely accepted principles of international law and human rights.

• Responsibility for mistakes: It must be clear where liability lies when systems make mistakes. General
principles should guide accountability.
• Transparency in decision making: It must be clear when AI systems need to explain their actions to
humans to show why a decision was made, and when, if ever, such transparency is not necessary.
+ Ensures AI is developed and used in line with basic principles of Democracy, Human Rights and the
Rule of Law. The political ethics of developing AI as a key tool to serve and strengthen Democracy,
Human Rights and the Rule of Law, rather than allowing AI or even intentionally developing it to
undermine.

• Avoiding bias - Steps must be made to stop systemic bias. Core values such as equality, diversity and
lack of discrimination must be promoted.
• Core ethical values - What are the core ethical values of AI to be?
• Data protection and Intellectual Property - The importance of data protection, IP ownership and
cyber security must be recognized and balanced against the need to use data to promote innovation.
• Mitigating social dislocation - The codes should confront what obligations rest on actors who deploy
AI to mitigate the social dislocation that results.
• Cybersecurity - The need for strong protection against hacking will increase as AI systems take a
heightened role in society.

Part III: Announcement of the Government AIWS Ethics Index at AIWS Festival 2019

On April 25, 2019, the Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation will organize the AIWS
Festival event at Loeb House, Harvard and publish the Government AIWS Ethics and Practices Index. This is
the focused work which belongs to the AIWS Initiative developed by the Michael Dukakis Institute in
cooperation with AI World and influential researchers in the field.

On this event, the Michael Dukakis Institute hope to propose to global government leaders, but first and
foremost, to heads of G7, OECD countries and countries with a population of over 80 million – the pioneers in
the industrial revolution we are currently embarking on. We hope that government leaders from G7 & OECD
countries would consider apply the Government AIWS Ethics Index and in the near future, the index will
contribute to the global consensus in AI development.

We also hope to make contribution to the notion of dealing with these AI international problems through the
United Nation. It’s the United Nations, who plays a key role in regulating the actions of governments as well
as people towards the aim of maintaining international peace & security and promoting co-operation between
countries.
