We decided to create the AI Principles Map to help understand the trends, common threads, and differences among numerous sets of principles published.
You can;
- zoom in and out with mouse roll,
- click on pins to read the summaries,
- sort by date using the timeline on the right side,
- sort by type of organization using the checkbox at the bottom,
- search for specific documents using the search box on top,
- compare documents using the compare function,
- open this box by clicking on the button on the upper left corner.
The Map works best on Chrome desktop.
The Box is meant to help you visualize the ethical strengths and weaknesses of a technology. Once the weaknesses are identified, solutions can be designed!
Start your evaluation of a technology by checking how strongly it protects and promotes ethical values.
- Click on the core principles (autonomy, harm-benefit, justice) to unfold the related instrumental principles.
- Use the slider to rate the technology’s adherence to these principles.
- If an instrumental principle is not applicable, disable the slider using the N/A button.

Would be good to get a differentiation according to city given the increased AI Localism – https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/local-regulation-of-artificial-intelligence-uses-by-stefaan-g-verhulst-1-and-mona-sloane-2020-02
I’m wondering about the implications of the absence of data for the whole African continent.
