Abstract

The AI Bill of Rights team goal is to present recommendations to the EOSC Community and Research Data Alliance on the needs for AI Governance/AI Bill of Rights in various jurisdictional, disciplinary and research scenarios taking into account the potential rights of data creators, model developers, model and data re-users, and citizens/communities/patients whose lives/privacy/wellbeing are impacted by AI and data sharing modalities.

Our team looks at how AI governance should shape what data is gathered and used in AI systems, what the rights of individual persons are inside this data, and how communities adopt and adapt to AI driven forms of decision making and creativity where ecological flourishing and human wellbeing are prioritized at the outset and throughout all design of any AI system as key metrics of societal and global prosperity and progress.

Impact Statement

It is our aim  to inform an understanding of Inclusive AI Governance for EOSC constituencies and the RDA membership, as well as to encourage Civil Society Participation in Standards Development in AI  to move beyond risk models in isolation and to help shepherd AI systems governance that will ensure a flourishing future for all.

Explanation of Sustainable Development Goals

 This recommendation contributes to UN SDG 3, especially 3.8 (Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all) insofar as AI Governance and use of AI in clinical medicine and clinical trials research become more ubiquitous components of medical research and practice. This recommendation also aligns with  SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 4 (Quality Education), 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institution) and 17 (Partnerships for the Goal).

    Beth Plale says:

    The section of the document on the US (lines 872-1097) is largely a survey of federal initiatives in AI regulation. So the relevant bits for the US community is the charge to the international RDA community (lines 168-177) copied below. The charge is a fairly non-actionable charge. I am unaware of any membership-wide attempt to develop an RDA AI Bill of Rights. The guidance on RDA-wide understanding of jurisdictional layering could become more real with a compelling video to accompany this RDA product. Beth Plale / RDA-US

    For Research Data Alliance: We acknowledge that RDA is well positioned to champion the primacy of protection of human rights in globally impactful AI Governance mechanisms. We recommend the membership and organization consider hosting and offering AI Governance learning opportunities and feedback sessions prior to introduction of any membership-wide attempt to develop an RDA specific organizational AI Bill of Rights. We recommend that the organization consider that in an organization like RDA with such an international membership it will be of paramount importance that members understand jurisdictional layering. RDA has a duty to honor and not to ignore differences and protections already granted to its individual members as citizens, residents, researchers, and students under the regional, national, state and municipal laws that may already govern its members where they live, work, and study.
