IEEE CertifAIEd™
The Mark of AI Ethics
The IEEE CertifAIEd™ Program offers a risk-based framework supported by a suite of AI ethical criteria that can be contextualized to fit organizations’ needs– helping them to deliver a more trustworthy experience for their users.
IEEE CertifAIEd Ontological Specifications for Ethical Privacy, Algorithmic Bias, Transparency, and Accountability are an introduction to our AI Ethics criteria. We invite you to fill out the form to start receiving these specifications.
Why IEEE CertifAIEd?
The IEEE CertifAIEd program was developed to enable, enhance, and reinforce trust through ethically tenable AI systems comprising technical standards, training, criteria, and certification which:
The Basis of AI Ethics Certification
IEEE CertifAIEd criteria consist of a suite of detailed specifications for the evaluation, assessment and certification of ethical properties of AI products, services, and systems. The criteria were developed in an open manner through the Industry Connections Ethics Certification Program for Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (ECPAIS).
The following facets of ethical responsibility are applied:
Transparency
Transparency criteria relate to values embedded in a system design, and the openness and disclosure of choices made for development and operation.
Accountability
Accountability criteria recognize that the system/service autonomy and learning capacities are the results of algorithms and computational processes designed by humans and
organizations that remain responsible for their outcomes.
Algorithmic Bias
Algorithmic bias criteria relate to the prevention of systematic errors and repeatable undesirable behaviors that
create unfair outcomes.
Privacy
Privacy criteria are aimed at
respecting the private sphere of life and public identity of an
individual, group, or community, upholding dignity.
The IEEE CertifAIEd Mark
The IEEE CertifAIEd mark provides organizations with the visibility that demonstrates that transparency, accountability, algorithmic bias, and privacy safeguards needed to build trust in their AIS have been addressed. The mark:
Whatever your organization’s role in the development and delivery of AI products, services, or systems– as a developer, system integrator, vendor, operator, or maintainer– you stand to gain from the responsible innovation-driven, human-centric, independent IEEE CertifAIEd training, evaluation, assessment, certification, and mark.
Aspects of Certification
IEEE CertifAIEd offers the ability to scale responsible innovation implementations globally, thereby helping to increase the quality of AI systems, the associated trust with key stakeholders, and realizing associated benefits.
Certification Guidance & Assessment
IEEE Authorized Assessors help guide organizations through a thorough review and examination to determine the ethical risk and reward profile of an AI product, service, or system and its conformance with relevant ethical criteria.
Independent Verification
An IEEE Authorized Certifier grants a certificate and mark to the AI product, service, or system based on independent review and verification of the IEEE CertifAIEd assessment and conformance to the certification scheme.
IEEE CertifAIEd offers trainers the ability to address a skills gap. It offers a vital source of in-depth knowledge about the process and ethical criteria that are essential for conformity assessment against IEEE CertifAIEd.
Being recognized as an IEEE CertifAIEd trainer generates credibility, backed by IEEE expertise and standardization know-how. Enrollment in the IEEE CertifAIEd ecosystem can generate visibility and possible new opportunities.
IEEE CertifAIEd assessor certification underpins provision of expertise and credentials for delivering AI Ethics assessment while flexibly integrating into the assessors’ own offerings.
Joining the IEEE CertifAIEd ecosystem offers the ability to scale responsible innovation implementations globally, thereby helping to increase the quality of AI systems, the associated trust with key stakeholders, and realizing associated benefits.
IEEE CertifAIEd offers certifiers a well defined process reflecting a clearly stated value proposition.
Training is offered with clearly documented criteria tailored by vertical, reflecting strong assessment documentation for validation. The assessments and certifications are decoupled and independent, adding to a credibility that stems from existing proven methodologies and reputable expert groups.
