On 22 May 2020, SIENNA and SHERPA projects, jointly provided feedback on the European Parliament Committee on Legal Affairs draft report with recommendations to the Commission on a framework of ethical aspects of artificial intelligence, robotics and related technologies (2020/2012(INL) based on the findings and results of the SHERPA and SIENNA EU-funded projects.
Key amongst the recommendations were to make protection from harm the primary objective and prioritize the principle of non-maleficence; define ‘High-Risk’ AI, robotics and related technologies taking into account unknown and unintended consequences; create and/or promote an effective complaint and redress mechanism accessible to stakeholders and encourage the use of ‘ethics by design’.
