The Innovation Framework: A Civil Rights Approach to AI
The Innovation Framework is a guiding document for companies that invest in, create, and use AI to ensure that their AI systems protect and promote civil rights so that those systems are fair, trustworthy, and safe for all of us, especially communities historically pushed to the margins.
This Innovation Framework serves as a proactive vision for emerging AI products, tools, and services. It consists of four Foundational Values for managing long-term business decisions and ten specific Lifecycle Pillars aligned with the AI development and deployment pipeline. The Framework is intentionally actionable so that it can be implemented, put in practice, and ensure that the technology truly works. The Framework was built with input from a diverse array of stakeholders, from industry, including leading developers and deployers of AI, along with civil society and academic experts.
