Ethics Board at the Blum Institute

Composition: The Ethics Board will consist of individuals bringing a diverse range of perspectives, including experts in ethics, civil society representatives, technologists, and a legal advisor. This may also include members from other boards or teams to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. Responsibilities: Develop and periodically review ethical guidelines for AI research and applications. Assess new and ongoing projects for their ethical implications. Ensure that research practices align with national and international ethical standards. Organize training sessions and workshops on ethical issues for the entire institute. Operation: The Ethics Board will convene regularly, aiming for quarterly meetings to manage costs effectively while maintaining oversight. It will produce quarterly reports and convene specially for reviewing significant project developments. Organizational Integration: The Ethics Board will work closely with other parts of the organization, such as IP Management and Data Management teams, to ensure that all aspects of research work are ethically sound. The board will serve as a consultative body to the CEO and executive leaders, ensuring that ethical considerations are integrated into strategic planning. The establishment of the Ethics Board demonstrates the Blum Institute’s commitment to prioritizing ethical considerations and investing in the integration of these considerations into all aspects of its work. This initiative will reinforce public trust and establish the Blum Institute as a responsible leader in AI research. All three boards - the Scientific Advisory Board, the Industry Advisory Board, and the Ethics Board - are integral to the strategic operation of the Blum Institute. Together, they provide a comprehensive framework of guidance and insights that bridge the gap between theoretical research, practical application, and ethical considerations. This tripartite advisory structure ensures that the Blum Institute not only remains at the cutting edge of AI innovation but also leads with integrity and responsiveness to societal needs. Their collaborative efforts help to steer the institute's research and development initiatives in a direction that is innovative, relevant, and ethically grounded, positioning the Blum Institute as a global leader in responsible AI research and application.
