To address these EU published ‘The Expert Group’s Policy Investment Recommendations for Trustworthy AI’ (the Guidelines). The Guidelines produce seven principles from its four foundational...
This paper documents how an ethically aligned co-design methodology ensures trustworthiness in the early design phase of artificial intelligence (AI) system component for healthcare. The explains decisions made by deep learning networks analyzing images skin lesions. trustworthy AI developed here used a holistic approach rather than static ethical checklist and required multidisciplinary team experts working with designers their managers. Ethical, legal, technical issues potentially arising...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to greatly improve delivery of healthcare and other services that advance population health wellbeing. However, use AI in also brings risks may cause unintended harm.

In this article we document interviews with individuals who are or have been directly involved implementing regime currently personally impacted it. These were conducted assess...
Abstract Building artificial intelligence (AI) systems that adhere to ethical standards is a complex problem. Even though multitude of guidelines for the design and development such trustworthy AI exist, these focus on high-level abstract requirements systems, it often very difficult assess if specific system fulfills requirements. The Z-Inspection® process provides holistic dynamic framework evaluate trustworthiness at different stages lifecycle, including intended use, design, development....
