What is a Code of Ethics and what is this Code of Ethics for?
The Code of Ethics* is both a commitment that For Humanity Certified Auditors (FHCAs) must agree to and a guide that FHCAs can and should turn to when confronted with instances of Ethical Choice (see section 1.2).
The Code sets out ForHumanity's shared moral framework** (i.e. its values and principles) and the associated standards of responsible and professional conduct for FHCAs, encompassing due consideration of Relevant Legal Frameworks (see section 4) and relevant risks to:
human rights
equality
anti-discrimination
access to goods and services
other issues associated with the independent auditing of AI, algorithmic, and autonomous systems.
The Code is drafted and kept up to date by the ForHumanity Ethics Committee (see section 5.4). It is a 'living' document that will be updated annually and any comments, feedback, or constructive criticisms are therefore welcome.
Any questions or feedback regarding this Code can be directed to ForHumanity's Ethics Committee at ethicscommittee@forhumanity.center
