Implementation standards, guidelines, and documented best practices for AI development.

. The potential users of AI systems need methods for assessing an AI system’s ethical properties and comparing the system to other systems. A verifiable claim platform can be built to support developers in making claims on ethical properties [40] and conducting the verification [124]. Such platform must consider the disparity of the stakeholder’s views. For example, developers might focus on reliability, whereas users might be interested in fairness. A verifiable claim is a statement about an AI system or an artifact (e.g., model or dataset) that is substantiated by a verification mechanism. The platform itself provides management capabilities such as claim creation and verification, access control, and dispute management
The W3C Verifiable Claims Working Group aims to make expressing and exchanging claims.80 The Open Web Application Security Project has published a Verifiable Claims documentation.81 The Ethereum Verifiable Claims is a method for off-chain variable claims
Reasoning
Platform enabling shared verification of AI system ethical claims through standardized assessment mechanisms and comparative evaluation tools.
Governance Patterns
The governance for RAI systems can be defined as the structures and processes that are employed to ensure that the development and use of AI systems meet AI ethics principles. According to the structure of Shneiderman [104], governance can be built at three levels: industry level, organization level, and team level.
2.1 Oversight & AccountabilityGovernance Patterns > Industry-level governance patterns
3.1 Legal & RegulatoryGovernance Patterns > Organization-level governance patterns
2.1 Oversight & AccountabilityGovernance Patterns > Team-level governance patterns
2.1.2 Roles & AccountabilityProcess Patterns
The process patterns are reusable methods and best practices that can be used by the development team during the development process.

2.4 Engineering & DevelopmentResponsible AI Pattern Catalogue: A Collection of Best Practices for AI Governance and Engineering
Lu, Qinghua; Zhu, Liming; Xu, Xiwei; Whittle, Jon; Zowghi, Didar; Jacquet, Aurelie (2024)
Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) is widely considered as one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time and is key to increase the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Recently, a number of AI ethics principles frameworks have been published. However, without further guidance on best practices, practitioners are left with nothing much beyond truisms. In addition, significant efforts have been placed at algorithm level rather than system level, mainly focusing on a subset of mathematics-amenable ethical principles, such as fairness. Nevertheless, ethical issues can arise at any step of the development lifecycle, cutting across many AI and non-AI components of systems beyond AI algorithms and models. To operationalize RAI from a system perspective, in this article, we present an RAI Pattern Catalogue based on the results of a multivocal literature review. Rather than staying at the principle or algorithm level, we focus on patterns that AI system stakeholders can undertake in practice to ensure that the developed AI systems are responsible throughout the entire governance and engineering lifecycle. The RAI Pattern Catalogue classifies the patterns into three groups: multi-level governance patterns, trustworthy process patterns, and RAI-by-design product patterns. These patterns provide systematic and actionable guidance for stakeholders to implement RAI. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
