European Commission Releases Final Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI

On April 8, 2019, the European Commission High-Level Expert Group (the “HLEG”) on Artificial Intelligence released the final version of its Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI.

The Guidelines’ release follows a public consultation process in which the HLEG received over 500 comments on its initial draft version. The Guidelines outline a framework for achieving trustworthy AI and offer guidance on two of its fundamental components: (1) that AI should be ethical and (2) that it should be robust, both from a technical and societal perspective. The Guidelines intend to go beyond a list of principles and operationalize the requirements to realize trustworthy AI.
