Realization of AI ethics through international standardization

Focus: ISO/IEC and IEEE

Abstract

This paper describes how ISO/IEC and IEEE standards contribute to the realization of AI ethics. First it clarifies what aspect of AI ethics can be handled by standards. Then it introduces the latest discussion about values to be standardized, and argues that most of them are traditional ones, and fine tuning of existing standards is sufficient. Then it shows the details of how AI ethics are standardized by describing ISO/IEC TR 24027 (bias) and others.
