If all of these points are met, we give it a Green \ud83d\udfe2 label. If none are met, it is Red \ud83d\udd34. If 1 condition is met, it is Orange \ud83d\udfe0 and if 2 conditions are met, Yellow \ud83d\udfe1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We add one additional note to the rating: bias. As it is impractical to prove there is no bias, we merely point out if, at time of our last check, major biases (like discrimination on race or gender for a face recognition technology for example) were discovered in the data set or in the expression of the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other ethical considerations for AI, of course. There are legal challenges around the used data sets (in particular, copyright) and the energy usage of especially deep neural networks is of great concern. However, unfortunately, those concerns are extremely hard to quantify in an objective manner and while we intend to try to warn users of any open issues, we can not (yet) include them in our rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that reason, we recommend users to investigate for themselves what the consequences of the use of AI are for their individual case using the Nextcloud Ethical AI Rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
