NXP Launches AI Ethics Initiative
06 Octubre 2020 - 7:00AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today publicly launched its
AI Ethics initiative, underscoring the company’s commitment to the
ethical development of AI components and systems where people work
and live, known as the "edge" of computer networks. With secure,
power-efficient edge computing and AI, everyday devices not only
sense their environments, but also interpret, analyze, and act in
real time on the data collected.
Published in a new whitepaper entitled The Morals of
Algorithms, the company details its comprehensive
framework for AI principles: non-maleficence, human autonomy,
explicability, continued attention & vigilance, and privacy and
security by design. These principles are rooted in NXP's corporate
values, ethical guidelines, and a long tradition of building some
of the world's most sophisticated secure devices. The AI framework
evolved as a result of a cross-company collaboration, including
inputs and insights across engineering and customer-facing teams
around the world.
NXP is a vanguard in the AI revolution with a portfolio of
microcontrollers (MCUs) and processors optimized for machine
learning applications “at the edge” of networks, including
thermostats, security systems, car sensors, robots and industrial
automation and other devices, thereby making them not only
intelligent but faster, more flexible, and more secure.
Recently the company was the first to release the Glow compiler
for optimizing neural networks on low-power MCUs. This year, the
company also announced integrated machine learning acceleration to
its i.MX 8M Plus processor family and released its NXP eIQ™ Auto
Toolkit for automotive applications.
"In addition to our strong innovation-minded spirit, ethics are
core to who we are as NXP," said Kurt Sievers, NXP President and
Chief Executive Officer. "As innovators in AI, we are committed to
applying ethical principles. Consumers depend on AI for more
responsibilities and decision making in their lives, especially at
the edge where people want their devices to operate transparently,
fairly and safely, while giving them control over their privacy.
And security is key - we believe that building trust in AI starts
with protecting devices.”
NXP plans to develop employee programs to help them implement
the five AI principles, which will be aided and supported by the
company's continued engagement with leading academic institutions,
research organizations and pioneer technology firms. It is also a
partner in the Charter of Trust, a cross-industry initiative
founded in 2018 to make the digital world of tomorrow safer.
"Ultimately, ethics come down to people, and this framework will
be core to NXP because our customers rely on us to provide them
with the life-impacting solutions that power the AI
transformation,” Sievers said.
"By building these ethical principles into the devices that
sense, interpret, and analyze data at the edge, we can enable AI
that acts ethically."
