------------------------------------

The European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on AI (AI HLEG) 
published a draft of its AI Ethics Guidelines (see press release with 
information here 
<https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/have-your-say-european-expert-group-seeks-feedback-draft-ethics-guidelines-trustworthy>)

The AI HLEG was established by the European Commission in June 2018 to 
support the implementation of its Strategy on Artificial Intelligence 
and to prepare two deliverables: (1) AI Ethics Guidelines and (2) Policy 
and Investment Recommendations.

The draft Guidelines are now open for consultation between 18 December 
and 18 January. All stakeholders are invited to comment on or contribute 
to the individual sections of the draft, as well as to provide  general 
feedback through the following consultation form 
<https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/ai-alliance-stakeholders-consultation/stakeholders-consultation-draft-ai-ethics-guidelines>. 
The AI HLEG also published a Definition on artificial intelligence 
<https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/ai-alliance-stakeholders-consultation/ai-hleg-definition-ai> 
which accompanies its deliverable.

Following the consultation, the AI HLEG will finalise the Guidelines, 
which it aims to present to the Commission in March 2019.
