4. Data Governance

o Understanding how we use data, and the sources from which we obtain it, are key to our AI and ML principles. We maintain processes and systems to track and manage our data usage and retention from across ADP systems or processes. If we use external information in our models, such as government reports or industry terminologies, we understand the processes and impact of that information in our models. All data included in our ML models is monitored for changes that could alter the desired outcomes.

1. Accountability and Transparency

o ADP believes that human oversight is core to providing reliable ML results. We have implemented audit and risk assessments to test our models as the baseline of our oversight methodologies. We continue to actively monitor and improve our models and systems to ensure that changes in the underlying data or model conditions do not inappropriately affect the desired results. o ADP provides information as to how we handle personal data in the relevant privacy statement that is made available to our clients’ employees, consumers or job applicants.

5. We are secure.

Data security is a prime quality of Deutsche Telekom. In order to maintain this asset, we ensure that our security measures are up to date while having a full overview of how customer related data is used and who has access to which kind of data. We never process privacy relevant data without legal permission. This policy applies to our AI systems just as much as it does to all of our activities. Additionally, we limit the usage to appropriate use cases and thoroughly secure our systems to obstruct external access and ensure data privacy.

· 10. Transparency

Transparency concerns the reduction of information asymmetry. Explainability – as a form of transparency – entails the capability to describe, inspect and reproduce the mechanisms through which AI systems make decisions and learn to adapt to their environments, as well as the provenance and dynamics of the data that is used and created by the system. Being explicit and open about choices and decisions concerning data sources, development processes, and stakeholders should be required from all models that use human data or affect human beings or can have other morally signiﬁcant impact.

Practice holism and do not reduce our ethical focus to components

We provide integrated technologies to defend and support democracy. We do not fixate only on algorithms and data in a silo, but rather take a holistic view of the potential impact of AI on outcomes to avoid unintended consequences in the real world. We aim to ensure that the entire systems we develop have the capability to manage data quality while upholding governance around software and models. We routinely employ statistical analyses to search for unwarranted data, model, and outcome bias.

Design for human control, accountability, and intended use

Humans should have ultimate control of our technology, and we strive to prevent unintended use of our products. Our user experience enforces accountability, responsible use, and transparency of consequences. We build protections into our products to detect and avoid unintended system behaviors. We achieve this through modern software engineering and rigorous testing on our entire systems including their constituent data and AI products, in isolation and in concert. Additionally, we rely on ongoing user research to help ensure that our products function as expected and can be appropriately disabled when necessary. Accountability is enforced by providing customers with insight into the provenance of data sources, methodologies, and design processes in easily understood and transparent language. Effective governance — of data, models, and software — is foundational to the ethical and accountable deployment of AI.
