With the increasing use of AI technologies in companies, the need for clear rules for their use is also growing. AI guidelines define standards and principles that aim to enable an ethically acceptable, legally secure, and productive use of AI. However, what aspects must such guidelines cover? And how can they be successfully anchored in the company? Many companies are still at the beginning of this journey. With the adoption of the EU AI Act on March 13, 2024, the pressure to make the use of AI in one’s own company legally secure is also increasing.
Answers to these questions are provided by the heise KI PRO webinar. Together with the heise legal advisor and AI law expert Joerg Heidrich, AI consultants Matthias Bastian and Benjamin Danneberg from DEEP CONTENT by heise summarize the most important contents of the Deep Dive. They present seven core elements for AI guidelines – from human control to fairness aspects to transparency and accountability.
These core elements are:
- Human Control: Ensuring that humans remain in control of AI systems.
- Fairness: Making sure AI decisions are fair and unbiased.
- Transparency: Providing clear information on how AI systems operate.
- Accountability: Establishing who is responsible for AI actions.
- Security: Protecting AI systems from malicious attacks.
- Privacy: Safeguarding personal data processed by AI.
- Compliance: Ensuring adherence to laws and regulations.
The webinar will also address the following questions: What advantages do AI guidelines offer for employees and companies? How can guidelines be meaningfully integrated into existing structures? What mistakes should be avoided in implementation? And how can companies suffer damage without their own AI guidelines – legally, financially, and in terms of their reputation? Furthermore, the role of AI guidelines in meeting legal requirements, such as the planned EU AI Act, will be discussed.
The contents of the webinar offer valuable impulses for companies that want to introduce or further develop AI guidelines. They are based on the Deep Dive article by heise KI PRO.
