Impartiality: The unbiased use of AI is essential. Potential conflicts of interest should be transparently disclosed and clearly stated in ethical declarations.
Privacy and Security: When using artificial intelligence, the protection and security of personal data must be observed. Privacy principles must be adhered to in data collection, storage, and processing.
