This workbook is part one of two workbooks: Foundations for Sustainable AI Projects and Sustainability Throughout the AI Workflow. Both workbooks are intended to help faciliate the delivery of a two-part workshop on the concepts of SUM Values and Sustainability.
This workbook introduces the SUM Values and the principle of Sustainability, which help AI project teams to assess the potential societal impacts and ethical permissibility of their projects. This workbook is divided into two sections, key Concepts and Activities.
This section discusses frameworks for establishing the foundations for sustainable AI projects.
This section contains instructions for group-based activities (each corresponding to a section in the Key Concepts). These activities are intended to increase understanding of Key Concepts by using them.
Case studies within the AI Ethics and Governance in Practice workbook series are grounded in public sector use cases, but do not reference specific AI projects.
