AI Ethics Principles

Australia AI Ethics Framework AUAIE-1: Human, societal and environmental wellbeing

Across the whole lifecycle an AI system should benefit individuals, society and the environment. Its objectives should be identified and justified at the outset; systems that address areas of global concern such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals are encouraged, ideally benefiting all people including future generations. Even a system built for a legitimate internal purpose such as efficiency can have wider effects, and its positive and negative impacts on individual, social and environmental wellbeing, including impacts outside the organisation, should be accounted for throughout the lifecycle.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 4 controls across 4 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 · 1 control

  • A.5.5 Assessing societal impacts of AI systems

OECD AI Principles · 1 control

  • OECDAI-1 Inclusive Growth, Human-Centred Values, Fairness, and Sustainable Development
  • OECDAI24-1 Updated AI System Definition, Foundation Models, and Generative AI Scope

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
