Unified AI-Ethics Collaboration Framework for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

AI for good is an emerging movement that empowers organizations working to solve global challenges to the environment, humanitarian issues, accessibility, health, and cultural heritage. As part of the world’s largest humanitarian organization, Australian Red Cross is working towards a framework for ethical AI which enables the organizations to work collaboratively aligning with their corporate social responsibilities (CSR). Our framework enables adopting AI ethics as an important state in an organization’s AI roadmap which drives AI for serving humanity and future sustainability.
