Introduction
Common Sense Media has launched a groundbreaking framework for an AI ratings and reviews system aimed at assessing the safety, transparency, ethical use, and impact of AI products. This initiative is designed to help families and policymakers make informed decisions about AI technologies. The ratings will serve as a 'nutrition label' for AI products, evaluating them based on several key principles:
- Put People First: Ensuring respect for human rights and dignity.
- Promote Learning: Centering on the needs of individual students.
- Prioritize Fairness: Eliminating bias in AI systems.
- Help People Connect: Fostering meaningful human interactions.
- Be Trustworthy: Avoiding misinformation and promoting expert consensus.
- Defend Privacy: Protecting user data and ensuring transparency.
- Keep Kids and Teens Safe: Safeguarding the well-being of children.
- Be Transparent and Accountable: Providing feedback mechanisms and moderation tools.
This framework not only aims to inform consumers but also to guide legislative efforts to enhance online safety for children and promote transparency in AI development.
