Consisting of Ethics Officers that are:

c) Trained in Fundamental Rights according to the Relevant Legal Frameworks under which they operate
2) Integrated with Top Management and Oversight Bodies

5) Committed to defining diversity for the organisation
6) Committed to abide by relevant legal frameworks where the organisation operates
7) Committed to a high level of confidentiality
As a result of the socio-technical nature of AAA Systems and the potential negative or detrimental impacts to humans, legal and regulatory frameworks have become more complex. This complexity requires training in Ethical Choice and expertise in Algorithm Ethics that extends beyond the traditional training, not only of our legal professionals, but also of designers, developers, data scientists, and security professionals to achieve sufficient compliance. Technical and organisational controls necessitate collaboration amongst team members to achieve sufficient compliance.
