Ethics for humanitarian AI

See the ethical tradeoffs in your project before they become harms.

Humani-T helps humanitarian AI teams find the ethical tradeoffs relevant to their work — and see how researchers in comparable settings have resolved the same tensions.

The four humanitarian principles

Every tradeoff is weighed against the principles that anchor humanitarian action.

Humanity

Address human suffering wherever it is found; protect the dignity of all.

Neutrality

Take no side in hostilities or in political, racial, or ideological controversies.

Independence

Act autonomously of any political, economic, or military objective.

Impartiality

Provide aid on the basis of need alone, without discrimination.
