Abstract
The ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI Ethics) can be thought of as undergoing three broad phases, with the first two being principles and processes, to the current phase which we read in terms of assurance. In this article we anticipate and expand upon themes in the AI assurance space: namely; i. general and sector specific assurance, ii. governance via technical and impact assessments, iii. the use of ‘traffic-light’ user friendly monitoring interfaces, iv. risk assessments and ‘red teaming’ in order to mitigate unknown risks, v. certification, and vi. insurance of AI systems. The article concludes by noting that the manner in which AI assurance matures is likely to be as a result of the extent and reach of any regulatory intervention.
