SAP’s 7 commandments for ethical AI

Meanwhile it is the potential effect on jobs that is driving many warnings about the technology.

In an interview published on the SAP website, chief financial officer Luka Mucic acknowledged that some people’s jobs would disappear as machines take on more work.

Nevertheless, “the changes brought by AI will most likely take shape just as other major technological developments throughout history, where new types of jobs were created” to replace lost ones, he added.

Powerful German union IG Metall also chimed in on AI Tuesday. “Our answer to the challenges of AI is critical intelligence,” said the union’s co-president Christiane Benner, calling for firms to consult early with employee representatives before implementing the technology.

“AI applications should unburden people and create free space for higher-value activities,” she added.

Not to be outdone by business and workers, Germany’s federal government this month convened a data ethics commission of its own, with ethical principles for AI among a range of fields it must pronounce on within a year.
