IA Ethical Policy Statement

COMMITMENT POLICY

‍At Xcapit we are committed to the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the development of AI systems and the implementation of responsible AI solutions that accelerate innovation, improve efficiency and contribute to sustainable growth. We believe this supports our fundamental data compliance and ethics objectives to preserve digital trust, reliable data-driven decision making and sustainable data ecosystems set out in our Data Compliance and Ethics Policy Statement.This policy sets out our core principles and operating standards for the ethical use of AI and the design and implementation of AI systems.We rely on the definition of “AI system” used by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) when referring to “AI” in this Policy to refer to a machine-based system that, for explicit or implicit goals, infers from the input it receives how to generate outputs such as predictions, content, recommendations, or decisions that [may] influence physical or virtual environments. Different AI systems vary in their levels of autonomy and adaptability after implementation. It provides a framework for compliance and effective risk management under artificial intelligence, privacy, data protection, data compliance, security, intellectual property and other global data and information laws, rules, regulations, external frameworks and standards across all categories and types of data.This policy sets out the basis for the use of AI systems at Xcapit, including the use of AI systems to perform, or assist in the performance of, any work-related activity. It applies to the interaction, development or implementation of AI systems within Xcapit. It encompasses all technologies that are, or are based on, AI systems.Where an applicable law, rule, regulation or contractual obligation, or other Xcapit policy requires a higher standard, we will follow the requirements of that law, rule, regulation, contract or Xcapit policy.
