The cornerstone of ICOM is the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums. It sets minimum standards of professional practice and performance for museums and their staff. In joining the organisation, ICOM members undertake to abide by this Code. The ICOM Code of Professional Ethics was adopted unanimously by the 15th General Assembly of ICOM in Buenos Aires (Argentina) on 4 November, 1986. It was amended by the 20th General Assembly in Barcelona (Spain) on 6 July 2001, retitled ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums, and revised by the 21st General Assembly in Seoul (Republic of Korea) on 8 October, 2004.

There has also been a push towards “counterfactual fairness” in machine learning models, which defines fairness as when an individual is treated equivalently in the real world as when the individual would be treated in the counterfactual (or opposite) world, in which the person belongs to another demographic.

Through the Assessment List for Trustworthy AI (ALTAI), AI principles are translated into an accessible and dynamic checklist that guides developers and deployers of AI in implementing such principles in practice. ALTAI will help to ensure that users benefit from AI without being exposed to unnecessary risks by indicating a set of concrete steps for self-assessment.

In 2016, Microsoft led the industry in creating a set of human-centered principles to guide the ethical creation and use of AI. These principles evolved into the six outlined in The Future Computed, released in 2018. These guide our end-to-end approach to AI, from its development to its deployment. Today, Microsoft is putting its principles into practice by embracing diverse perspectives, fostering continuous learning, and proactively responding as AI technology evolves.
