Помимо наших продуктов, мы используем ИИ, чтобы помочь людям решать неотложные проблемы.predict the risk of wildfires. Farmers are using it to monitor the health of their herds. Doctors are starting to use AI to help diagnose cancer and prevent blindness. These clear benefits are why Google invests heavily in AI research and development, and makes AI technologies widely available to others via our tools and open-source code.
Мы понимаем, что такая мощная технология поднимает не менее важные вопросы о ее использовании. То, как ИИ разрабатывается и используется, окажет значительное влияние на общество в течение многих лет. Как лидер в области ИИ, мы чувствуем глубокую ответственность за достижение этого. Итак, сегодня мы объявляем о семи принципах, которыми мы будем руководствоваться в своей работе. Это не теоретические концепции, это конкретные стандарты, которые будут активно управлять нашими исследованиями и разработкой продуктов и будут влиять на наши деловые решения.
We acknowledge that this area is dynamic and evolving, and we will approach our work with humility, a commitment to internal and external engagement, and a willingness to adapt our approach as we learn over time.
Objectives for AI applications
We will assess AI applications in view of the following objectives. We believe that AI should:
1. Be socially beneficial.
The expanded reach of new technologies increasingly touch society as a whole. Advances in AI will have transformative impacts in a wide range of fields, including healthcare, security, energy, transportation, manufacturing, and entertainment. As we consider potential development and uses of AI technologies, we will take into account a broad range of social and economic factors, and will proceed where we believe that the overall likely benefits substantially exceed the foreseeable risks and downsides.
AI also enhances our ability to understand the meaning of content at scale. We will strive to make high-quality and accurate information readily available using AI, while continuing to respect cultural, social, and legal norms in the countries where we operate. And we will continue to thoughtfully evaluate when to make our technologies available on a non-commercial basis.
2. Avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias.
AI algorithms and datasets can reflect, reinforce, or reduce unfair biases. We recognize that distinguishing fair from unfair biases is not always simple, and differs across cultures and societies. We will seek to avoid unjust impacts on people, particularly those related to sensitive characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, income, sexual orientation, ability, and political or religious belief.
3. Be built and tested for safety.
We will continue to develop and apply strong safety and security practices to avoid unintended results that create risks of harm. We will design our AI systems to be appropriately cautious, and seek to develop them in accordance with best practices in AI safety research. In appropriate cases, we will test AI technologies in constrained environments and monitor their operation after deployment.
4. Be accountable to people.
We will design AI systems that provide appropriate opportunities for feedback, relevant explanations, and appeal. Our AI technologies will be subject to appropriate human direction and control.
5. Incorporate privacy design principles.
We will incorporate our privacy principles in the development and use of our AI technologies. We will give opportunity for notice and consent, encourage architectures with privacy safeguards, and provide appropriate transparency and control over the use of data.
6. Uphold high standards of scientific excellence.
Technological innovation is rooted in the scientific method and a commitment to open inquiry, intellectual rigor, integrity, and collaboration. AI tools have the potential to unlock new realms of scientific research and knowledge in critical domains like biology, chemistry, medicine, and environmental sciences. We aspire to high standards of scientific excellence as we work to progress AI development.
We will work with a range of stakeholders to promote thoughtful leadership in this area, drawing on scientifically rigorous and multidisciplinary approaches. And we will responsibly share AI knowledge by publishing educational materials, best practices, and research that enable more people to develop useful AI applications.
7. Be made available for uses that accord with these principles.
Many technologies have multiple uses. We will work to limit potentially harmful or abusive applications. As we develop and deploy AI technologies, we will evaluate likely uses in light of the following factors:
- Primary purpose and use: the primary purpose and likely use of a technology and application, including how closely the solution is related to or adaptable to a harmful use
- Nature and uniqueness: whether we are making available technology that is unique or more generally available
- Scale: whether the use of this technology will have significant impact
- Характер участия Google: whether we are providing general-purpose tools, integrating tools for customers, or developing custom solutions
AI applications we will not pursue
In addition to the above objectives, we will not design or deploy AI in the following application areas:
-
Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Where there is a material risk of harm, we will proceed only where we believe that the benefits substantially outweigh the risks, and will incorporate appropriate safety constraints.
-
Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people.
-
Technologies that gather or use information for surveillance violating internationally accepted norms.
-
Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights.
Мы хотим четко заявить, что, хотя мы не разрабатываем ИИ для использования в оружии, мы продолжим нашу работу с правительствами и военными во многих других областях, включая кибербезопасность, обучение, набор в армию, здравоохранение ветеранов и поиск. Это сотрудничество важно, и мы будем активно искать новые способы расширить критически важную работу этих организаций и обеспечить безопасность военнослужащих и гражданских лиц.
AI for the long term
Хотя мы выбираем именно такой подход к ИИ, мы понимаем, что в этом разговоре есть место для многих.По мере развития технологий ИИ мы будем работать с рядом заинтересованных сторон, чтобы продвигать продуманное лидерство в этой области, опираясь на научные данные. Строгие и междисциплинарные подходы, и мы продолжим делиться тем, что мы узнали, чтобы улучшить технологии и методы ИИ.
Мы считаем, что эти принципы являются правильной основой для нашей компании и будущего развития ИИ.Этот подход согласуется с ценностями, изложенными в нашем первоначальном письме основателям еще в 2004 году. долгосрочной перспективе, даже если это означает поиск краткосрочных компромиссов Мы говорили это тогда и верим в это сейчас.
