Abstract
The Rome Call for AI Ethics is a document signed for the first time on February 28th 2020, in Rome, to promote an ethical approach to artificial intelligence. The idea behind it is to promote a sense of shared responsibility among international organizations, governments, institutions and technology companies in an effort to create a future in which digital innovation and technological progress grant man his centrality. Pointing to a new algor-ethics, the signatories committed to request the development of an artificial intelligence that serves every person and humanity as a whole; that respects the dignity of the human person, so that every individual can benefit from the advances of technology; and that does not have as its sole goal greater profit or the gradual replacement of people in the workplace. Algor-ethics promotes the ethical use of AI as defined by the following principles: • Transparency: in principle, AI systems must be explainable; • Inclusion: the needs of all human beings must be taken into consideration so that everyone can benefit and all individuals can be offered the best possible conditions to express themselves and develop; • Responsibility: those who design and deploy the use of AI must proceed with responsibility and transparency; • Impartiality: do not create or act according to bias, thus safeguarding fairness and human dignity; • Reliability: AI systems must be able to work reliably; • Security and privacy: AI systems must work securely and respect the privacy of users.
