· Be sustainable

The continued benefits for children's growth and development should be regarded as the development goal of AI for children. Attention should be paid to the uncertainty in the long term application of AI on children, and short sightedness that might bring in negative impacts on children in pursuit of short term benefits should be avoided.

(Preamble)

Children are the hope for the development of humanity. At the same time, children are also disadvantaged and vulnerable groups and require special attention from the whole society, especially in the context that the current development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is bringing profound and extensive impact to society in an unprecedented way. All sectors of society should attach great importance to the impact of AI on children and develop responsible AI for the next generations. The development of AI should protect and promote the benefits of children, avoid depriving and harming children's rights, and help realize the healthy growth of children.

· Focus on humans

Human control of AI should be mandatory and testable by regulators. AI should be developed with a focus on the human consequences as well as the economic benefits. A human impact review should be part of the AI development process, and a workplace plan for managing disruption and transitions should be part of the deployment process. Ongoing training in the workplace should be reinforced to help workers adapt. Governments should plan for transition support as jobs disappear or are significantly changed.

· (4) Security

Positive utilization of AI means that many social systems will be automated, and the safety of the systems will be improved. On the other hand, within the scope of today's technologies, it is impossible for AI to respond appropriately to rare events or deliberate attacks. Therefore, there is a new security risk for the use of AI. Society should always be aware of the balance of benefits and risks, and should work to improve social safety and sustainability as a whole. Society must promote broad and deep research and development in AI (from immediate measures to deep understanding), such as the proper evaluation of risks in the utilization of AI and research to reduce risks. Society must also pay attention to risk management, including cybersecurity awareness. Society should always pay attention to sustainability in the use of AI. Society should not, in particular, be uniquely dependent on single AI or a few specified AI.

· ⑤ Public Good

AI should be utilized not only for the pursuit of personal happiness but also for the public good of society and the common benefit of humanity. AI should be utilized toward creating positive social change. Diverse education programs should be implemented to maximize the benefits and minimize the negative impacts of AI.

3. Human centric AI

AI should be at the service of society and generate tangible benefits for people. AI systems should always stay under human control and be driven by value based considerations. Telefónica is conscious of the fact that the implementation of AI in our products and services should in no way lead to a negative impact on human rights or the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. We are concerned about the potential use of AI for the creation or spreading of fake news, technology addiction, and the potential reinforcement of societal bias in algorithms in general. We commit to working towards avoiding these tendencies to the extent it is within our realm of control.
