(preamble)

Addressing global climate change is essential for the sustainable future of humanity and ecology. The stakeholders of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Science and Technology should deeply collaborate with stakeholders of climate change and ecosystems to contribute to the implementation of the global climate agenda, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Paris Agreement, and the UNESCO Strategy for Action on Climate Change. With international ethical principles such as those enshrined in the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, the UNESCO Declaration of Ethical Principles in relation to Climate Change, etc. as the foundation, the proposed principles here serve as cross domain efforts on development and ethical principles of AI for climate actions. Aimed at all stakeholders in AI and climate action, including management, Research and Development, use, deployment, investment, etc., these principles aim to provide relevant parties with principles of AI development and governance to address climate change through deep synergy between technology, ethics and governance, and contribute to the steady advancement of the global climate agenda.

To ensure the implementation of the provisions of this Code and the current legal norms when creating, applying and using an AIS, AI Actors appoint officers on AI ethics who are responsible for the implementation of the Code and who act as contacts for AI Actors on ethical issues involving AI. These officers can create collegial industry bodies in the form of internal ethics commissions in the field of AI to consider the most relevant or controversial issues in the field of AI ethics. AI Actors are encouraged to identify an AI ethics officer whenever possible upon accession to this Code or within two months from the date of accession to the Code. 2.3. Commission for the Implementation of the National Code in AI Ethics. In order to implement the Code, a commission for the implementation of the Code in the field of AI ethics (hereinafter referred to as the Commission) being established. The commission may have working bodies and groups consisting of representatives of the business community, science, government agencies and other stakeholders. The Commission considers the applications of AI Actors wishing to join the Code and follow its provisions; it also maintains a register of Code members. The activities of the Commission and the conduct of its secretariat are carried out by the Alliance for Artificial Intelligence association with the participation of other interested organizations. 2.4. Register of Code participants. To accede to this Code, the AI Actor sends a corresponding application to the Commission. The register of AI Actors who have joined the Code is maintained on a public website portal. 2.5. Development of methods and guidelines. For the implementation of the Code, it is recommended to develop methods, guidelines, checklists and other methodological materials to ensure the most effective observance of the provisions of the Code by the AI Actors 2.6. Code of Practice. For the timely exchange of best practices, the useful and safe application of AIS built on the basic principles of this Code, increasing the transparency of developers' activities, and maintaining healthy competition in the AIS market, AI Actors may create a set of best and or worst practices for solving emerging ethical issues in the AI life cycle, selected according to the criteria established by the professional community.

· Plan and Design:

1 When designing a transparent and trusted AI system, it is vital to ensure that stakeholders affected by AI systems are fully aware and informed of how outcomes are processed. They should further be given access to and an explanation of the rationale for decisions made by the AI technology in an understandable and contextual manner. Decisions should be traceable. AI system owners must define the level of transparency for different stakeholders on the technology based on data privacy, sensitivity, and authorization of the stakeholders. 2 The AI system should be designed to include an information section in the platform to give an overview of the AI model decisions as part of the overall transparency application of the technology. Information sharing as a sub principle should be adhered to with end users and stakeholders of the AI system upon request or open to the public, depending on the nature of the AI system and target market. The model should establish a process mechanism to log and address issues and complaints that arise to be able to resolve them in a transparent and explainable manner. Prepare Input Data: 1 The data sets and the processes that yield the AI system’s decision should be documented to the best possible standard to allow for traceability and an increase in transparency. 2 The data sets should be assessed in the context of their accuracy, suitability, validity, and source. This has a direct effect on the training and implementation of these systems since the criteria for the data’s organization, and structuring must be transparent and explainable in their acquisition and collection adhering to data privacy regulations and intellectual property standards and controls.
