Kitware is Committed to Ethical AI
Kitware is committed to AI for social good. As the use of AI applications has increased, the demand for unbiased, trustworthy, and explainable AI has become paramount. We have been at the forefront of research in ethical AI for almost a decade, developing methods and leading studies on how AI can be trusted, how it can make moral decisions like humans, and how it can be harnessed to benefit society while minimizing risk. We are proud to be participants in national research programs in ethical AI including DARPA Explainable AI, DARPA In the Moment, and DARPA Autonomy Standards and Ideas for Military Operational Values. Kitware is also an active member of the AISIC, a U.S. Department of Commerce Consortium dedicated to advancing the development and deployment of safe, trustworthy AI.
