Description

Abstract.

This paper explores how to design, develop, and deploy trustworthy AI tools in
industrial manufacturing. After a brief overview of existing AI ethical frameworks, the paper
focuses on actioning the four AI ethical principles identified by the AI HLEG. Given the
context-dependency of AI tools, these AI ethical principles are framed within the manufacturing
setting. This ethics-based approach requires the operationalization of such principles to truly
design, develop, and deploy trustworthy AI systems. To this end, organizational and technical
measures applicable to industrial manufacturing are suggested. The focus is then placed on the
role of corporate social responsibility, business ethics, and responsible research and innovation
in implementing AI solutions ethically, legally, and sustainably. Finally, the paper tackles the
concept of ‘meaningful work’, highlights its risks and propose mitigation measures to protect
workers from the potential adverse effects that AI solutions might have on them.
