AI Ethics Statement
Last Updated: August 15, 2025
Our Commitment to Ethical AI
WorkOnward Foundation is committed to developing and deploying artificial intelligence in ways that promote fairness, transparency, and human dignity in the pursuit of economic opportunity.
Core Principles
1. Fairness and Non-Discrimination
Our AI systems are designed to eliminate bias and promote equal opportunity regardless of race, gender, age, disability, or socioeconomic background.
2. Transparency
We provide clear explanations of how our AI systems work and make decisions that affect job seekers and employers.
3. Human-Centered Design
AI augments human capabilities rather than replacing human judgment in employment decisions.
4. Privacy Protection
Personal data is protected and used only to improve employment outcomes for individuals in need.
Implementation
- Regular bias testing and algorithm audits
- Diverse development teams and advisory boards
- Continuous monitoring of AI system outcomes
- User feedback integration and system improvements
Accountability
