Analyzing the Contribution of Ethical Charters to Building the Future of Artificial Intelligence Governance

Abstract

The deployment of AI promises to improve a host of important services for society as a whole, but also raises concerns with regard to uncontrolled development of technological systems and a certain inappropriate use or disregard for social factors. This technology has such power that it structures and defines the end-purposes of human activity, to the extent that individuals and communities have no choice but to adapt and change under its influence. This is why AI governance is essential, at the local and international levels. This article explores the role of ethical charters in building the future of AI governance, through their formalization process and their potential for legal developments.
