The principles, spelled out by Google CEO Sundar Pichai in a blog post , commit the company to building AI applications that are "socially beneficial," that avoid creating or reinforcing bias and that are accountable to people.
The search giant had been formulating a patchwork of policies around these ethical questions for years, but finally put them in writing. Aside from making the principles public, Pichai didn't specify how Google or its parent Alphabet would be accountable for conforming to them. He also said Google would continue working with governments and the military on noncombat applications involving such things as veterans' health care and search and rescue.
