Intelligence, accountable to humans.

AIGENTA Foundation works on the ethics of artificial intelligence, the protection of human rights and freedoms, and a future where people and intelligent systems coexist.

01Why we exist

AI must answer to people. Not to the systems that run it, nor only to those who profit from it.

02 What we stand for

Four commitments, one direction.

01

Ethics

Clear moral ground for systems that make, or shape, decisions about people.

02

Human rights

Dignity, equality and due process must hold when a machine is in the loop.

03

Freedom

Privacy, autonomy and freedom of thought are not features to be traded away.

04

Coexistence

Intelligent systems that extend human capability and leave final control with people.

03 Principles

What we hold to.

  1. 01

    People first.

    Every AI system answers to the people it affects, not the other way round. Human dignity is the measure of whether a system is good.

  2. 02

    Accountability is human.

    Responsibility for what an AI system does always rests with a person or an institution. Software cannot be held to account; its owners can.

  3. 03

    Transparency by default.

    People have a right to know when they are dealing with AI, and how it shapes the outcomes that concern them.

  4. 04

    Privacy is a right.

    Personal data is an extension of the person it describes. It is not raw material to be collected and reused without limit.

All eight principles

04 Positions

Where we stand.

Help shape how AI treats people.

We welcome researchers, practitioners, educators and anyone who cares about the question.
