Responsible AI use
At Aquila Ecology, we recognise the value and potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance our ecological understanding and bring about positive changes in environmental management and conservation. We are committed to responsibly developing, implementing and using AI technologies to ensure they contribute to sustainability, transparency and ethical practices.
- Purpose and value commitment: We strive to develop and deploy AI technologies with the aim of addressing ecological challenges and increasing our knowledge of the ecological world. We are committed to ensuring the highest standards of quality, accuracy and reliability when using AI in our operations.
- Transparency and accountability: We will be transparent about the use of AI technologies and clearly communicate how they are applied in our ecological research and management practices. We aim to be accountable for the decisions and actions resulting from the use of AI.
- Privacy and data protection: We will treat the data and privacy of data from our AI activities with care. We will take appropriate measures to protect data and ensure that it is handled in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
- Human involvement and responsibility: We recognise that AI tools and systems are tools that require human guidance, interpretation and responsibility. When using AI, we will always integrate human expertise and retain ultimate responsibility for interpreting results and decision-making.
- Sustainability and ethics: We will develop and use AI technologies in a way that is consistent with ethical standards and respects human and environmental rights. We are committed to sustainable practices and minimising negative impact on the environment where AI is always used by us as a tool.
Aquila Ecology stresses the importance of establishing clear rules and legislation to prevent the misuse of AI. As an advocate of responsible AI applications, we believe it is essential to harness the potential of AI without losing sight of the ethical and societal implications. With the rapid development and growth of AI technologies, it is imperative that robust guidelines and laws are implemented.
By setting clear rules, we can ensure that AI systems are used in a way that is transparent, fair and responsible. These rules should include aspects such as privacy, data protection, discrimination and human accountability. By preventing abuse and negative impact, we can increase trust in AI and promote its acceptance in society.
Aquila Ecology advocates collaboration between policymakers, researchers, companies and other stakeholders to jointly draft the regulations needed to maximise the benefits of AI and mitigate its potential risks. It is our belief that a balanced and informed approach will pave the way for the sustainable and responsible use of AI in the context of ecological research and conservation.
