Key features of this AI ethics policy
An AI Ethics Policy sits above your individual policies as the statement of principle everything else has to align with — it’s the document a board signs off on, and the one auditors look for first to understand whether AI governance is genuinely embedded or bolted on after the fact.
It’s designed to work with the AI Principles Statement if you use one: the Ethics Policy is the fuller internal document, while the Principles Statement is the plain-English version for external publication.
Unlike a generic corporate ethics code, this policy is scoped specifically to the ethical questions AI raises — algorithmic fairness, transparency in automated decisions, and human oversight — that a broad ethics statement doesn’t address in enough depth.
