AI ethical charter

Summary

The ethical charter created by Stéphan Peccini, a sustainable IT consultant, proposes a framework for AI usage, restricting it to systems that align with one of the three following principles:

- Ecological ceiling or social foundation (inspired by Kate Raworth's Donut Theory)

- Supporting research that falls within the scope of the first two principles

The editorial perspective

The work of Stéphan Peccini presents an interesting foundational perspective. The document is generalist and offers a political vision of what AI could become in the future.

The three guiding principles it proposes are quite relevant for framing the purpose of AI-based services. Among them, drawing inspiration from the Donut Theory could be particularly effective in imposing constraints on any new AI project. This perspective could also complement the framework established by the Afnor Spec Frugal AI.

However, the document lacks a pragmatic approach and remains highly conceptual.

Since this charter is the work of a single individual, it is difficult for readers to consider it a reference. The charter could gain credibility if it were more explicitly addressed to businesses or institutions and co-developed, validated, or endorsed by multiple recognized individuals or collectives in the field.
