AI Ethics Index: A Proposed Public-Interest Governance System for Evaluating AI Systems
Half-baked but well-meaning. A passing snack.
Summary
The AI Ethics Index is a proposed public-interest evaluation and governance system designed to assess the ethical integrity, safety, and societal impact of AI systems. It argues that as AI becomes embedded in critical areas like education, healthcare, employment, and justice, society lacks the necessary public infrastructure to evaluate these systems. The Index aims to provide standards-based, evidence-driven evaluation today while laying the groundwork for future audit, certification, procurement guidance, and governance frameworks.

Yet society still lacks the public infrastructure needed to evaluate how these systems behave, whom they benefit, and where they create harm.
