The geographic selection of experts below is just a small demonstrative sample that include people working directly and/or indirectly with the development, implementation and research of ethics in AI and AIS for a minimum of 3 years. With this simple example criteria, in reality, we could immediately include hundreds of people globally.
But, again, this is a BETA test website. We are sharing here, for now, a small sampling of how selection requirements and criteria can be openly documented, chosen and met. We are only demonstrating the concept of transparency in the selection of experts.
In the future, this ethics portal will be drawing from a growing database of experts to which a very specific selection process will be applied. The process will include a competency based model of layers of information on each expert. There will also be a free short application process required which will include brief communication between the portal curators leading to the satisfaction of the following types of competency criteria:
Knowledge and Understanding of AI Ethics
Degree in a "relevant" field (highly inclusive of a diverse set of degrees either directly or indirectly intersecting AIS ethics)
Participation in a professional institution
Knowledge of ethical principles
Professional record of contribution to the field of ethical accountability or equivalent areas
Absence of false claims and plagiarism
Skill and Application Experience in AI Ethics
Situational experience of AI & AIS
Appropriate professional certification
Peer recognition
Social involvement in the field
Absence of disqualification from practice
Personal and Collaborative Competences in AI Ethics
Cultural alignment with ethics
Embracing diversity of perspectives

QUALITY INDICES

FUTURE RANKINGS EXPECTED
In the future, the database will include expert “RANKINGS” for the work and contributions of each expert. As the fields, features and competencies of global experts and categorical groups grow; a quality rubric of diverse contributions will be shared among volunteers to determine a possible ranking system.

Companies like Apple, Facebook, and…
