The Principle of beneficence: “Do Good”

AI systems should be designed and developed to improve individual and collective wellbeing.

AI systems can do so by generating prosperity, value creation and wealth maximization and sustainability.

At the same time, beneficent AI systems can contribute to wellbeing by seeking achievement of a fair, inclusive and peaceful society, by helping to increase citizen’s mental autonomy, with equal distribution of economic, social and political opportunity.

AI systems can be a force for collective good when deployed towards objectives like: the protection of democratic process and rule of law; the provision of common goods and services at low cost and high quality; data literacy and representativeness; damage mitigation and trust optimization towards users; achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals or sustainability understood more broadly, according to the pillars of economic development, social equity, and environmental protection.

By design, AI systems should protect the dignity, integrity, liberty, privacy, safety, and security of human beings in society and at work.

AI systems should not threaten the democratic process, freedom of expression, freedoms of identify, or the possibility to refuse AI services.

The Earth’s resources can be valued in and of themselves or as a resource for humans to consume.

Autonomy of human beings in the context of AI development means freedom from subordination to, or coercion by, AI systems.

It is paramount that AI does not undermine the necessity for human responsibility to ensure the protection of fundamental rights.

Developers and implementers need to ensure that individuals and minority groups maintain freedom from bias, stigmatisation and discrimination.

Additionally, the positives and negatives resulting from AI should be evenly distributed, avoiding to place vulnerable demographics in a position of greater vulnerability and striving for equal opportunity in terms of access to education, goods, services and technology amongst human beings, without discrimination.

AI systems should be designed not only to uphold rights, values and principles, but also to protect citizens in all their diversity from governmental and private abuses made possible by AI technology, ensuring a fair distribution of the benefits created by AI technologies, protect and enhance a plurality of human values, and enhance self determination and autonomy of individual users and communities.

Systems that are tasked to help the user, must provide explicit support to the user to promote her his own preferences, and set the limits for system intervention, ensuring that the overall wellbeing of the user as explicitly defined by the user her himself is central to system functionality.
