Stanford HAI Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights
Stanford scholars respond to a federal RFI regarding public and private sector uses of biometric technologies, proposing six principles for the responsible use of biometrics and AI.
Executive Summary
In this response to a request for information by the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) on public and private sector uses of biometric technologies, Stanford HAI scholars examine the uses of biometric technologies while also taking the implications of broader AI technologies into consideration. They argue that biometrics and AI are uniquely intertwined and that we must understand both the full impacts of AI and how the biometric paradigm disproportionately affects marginalized groups and exacerbates inequities. They propose a set of six principles:
Ensuring AI-powered biometric systems are developed and deployed in a manner that supports fundamental democratic values with respect to the rule of law, basic civil liberties, and universal human rights.
Safeguarding fairness and rights to nondiscrimination.
Ensuring transparency and explainability during development and due process rights in application.
Strengthening participation of civil society organizations in important AI use and governance conversations.
Embedding accountability measures into system design.
Enhancing citizen education in relation to AI and its impacts.
