Which strategy is effective for a company to promote the ethical use of AI?

The most effective strategy for promoting ethical AI is tofoster collaboration among diverse stakeholders. Ethics in AI is not a purely technical problem that can be "solved" with code; it is a socio-technical challenge that requires input from various perspectives, including ethicists, legal experts, social scientists, engineers, and, most importantly, the communities affected by the AI.

Diverse collaboration helps identify "blind spots" that a homogenous technical team might miss. For example, a developer might not realize that a specific data feature is a proxy for race or gender, but a sociologist or a community advocate might recognize it immediately. By bringing these voices together, a company can develop "Ethics by Design" frameworks that proactively address bias, transparency, and safety issues before the AI is deployed. This approach aligns with the principle of "Multidisciplinary Oversight," ensuring that the AI’s goals are aligned with human values. Relying purely on the AI to solve its own ethical dilemmas (Option A) is dangerous, as the AI lacks a true moral compass. Instead, human-led collaboration ensures that technology remains a servant to societal well-being.
