The impact of responsible AI on the occurrence and resolution of ethical issues: A scoping review protocol
ABSTRACT
Background:
Responsible AI (RAI) emphasises the use of ethical frameworks implementing accountability, responsibility, and transparency to address concerns in the deployment and use of AI technologies, including privacy, autonomy, and self-determination, bias and transparency. Standards are under development to guide support and implementation of AI given these considerations.
Objective:
The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of current research evidence and knowledge gaps regarding the implementation of Responsible AI principles and the occurrence and resolution of ethical issues within AI systems.
Methods:
A scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) is proposed. PubMed, ERIC, Scopus, IEEE Explore, EBSCO, Web of Science, and the Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library will be systematically searched for articles published since 2013 that examine RAI principles and ethical concerns within AI. Eligibility assessment will be conducted independently, and coded data will be analysed along themes and stratified across discipline-specific literature.
Results:
The full scoping review has not yet begun but is expected to be completed and submitted for publication by December 2023.
Conclusions:
This scoping review will summarise the state of evidence and provide an overview of its impact as well as strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in research implementing responsible AI principles. The review may also reveal discipline-specific concerns, priorities, and proposed solutions to the concerns. It will thereby identify priority areas that should be focus of future regulatory options available connecting theoretical aspects of ethical requirements for principles with practical solutions.
