The Ethically Aligned Design (EAD) Framework, which has inspired global discussions on human rights and ethics in AI, informed various AI principles, including those of the OECD, as well as aspects of the UN Global Digital Compact, and continues to serve as a strong and relevant foundation as AI technologies and use evolve.
IEEE CertifAIEd™, a personnel credentialing and product certification program that evaluates AI systems for transparency, accountability, and the reduction of bias, provides organizations with credible evidence of responsible AI practices. It addresses criteria including algorithmic bias, ethical transparency, privacy, and accountability, and is compatible with upcoming regulations such as the EU AI Act.

If You'd Invested $1,000 in BRK.B 5 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today
Key Points It would be more. Much more. In fact, in that narrow window of time, the investment would have more than doubled. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) is Warren Buffett 's investment vehicle, and it's paved the way to wealth for many dedicated shareholders over the years. Here's a look at how well the company has done on the stock market across the past half-decade, and a glance at the reasons for its success. A (very) long-term player In that relatively short space of time, holding on to Berkshire's B shares would have doubled your money and then some. An initial $1,000 outlay as July 2020 came to a close would be worth $2,426 today. Berkshire is essentially two monster businesses rolled into one -- an insurance conglomerate, anchored by sturdy sector mainstay Geico, and a collection of investments. The latter can be broken down into businesses fully owned by Berkshire (such as confectioner See's Candies) and a bulging portfolio of stakes in publicly traded companies. The stock portfolio includes many well-known titles across a range of sectors. Nearly every investor will be familiar with such names as Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola, among numerous others. In many ways, Buffett and his team are the ultimate buy-and-hold investors. They have always preferred to zero in on an undervalued stock and keep it in the portfolio for years, even decades. In fact, that American Express holding dates back to 1964, for an astonishing run of more than 60 years. That Coca-Cola position, meanwhile, was first amassed in 1984. Unsentimental about stocks As with any portfolio, not all of Berkshire's holdings are winners. I'm thinking these days about such uninspiring companies as Kraft Heinz. But one of the many positive aspects of Berkshire's operations is that it's usually not averse to selling out of stocks, and relatively quickly, if they underperform. Berkshire's excellent performance is the key reason why Buffett is such a celebrated investor. To me, it's always worthy of consideration as a buy on its own. Should you invest $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway right now? Before you buy stock in Berkshire Hathaway, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Berkshire Hathaway wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $624,823!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,064,820!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,019% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 178% for the S&P 500.

Pint-sized ice cream entrepreneur in P.E.I. tasting sweet success at Scooper's Dairy Bar
Inside a multicoloured minibarn at the Burdenell Riding Stables in eastern Prince Edward Island, an 11-year-old girl is serving up an ice-cold lesson in entrepreneurship. For two years now, Roya Cooper has run the aptly named Scooper's Dairy Bar. "We always liked ice-cream, and I wanted to start my own business," Roya said. And so it was that with some help from her parents, a little inspiration from the competition and a lot of paint that Scooper's was born. A pink, purple and blue fence surrounds the barn like an ice cream corral. The barn itself is painted like the rainbow to represent the variety of flavours the dairy bar serves, said Roya. "Death by chocolate, or chocolate chip cookie dough is the most [popular]." Sales are pretty good. Roya said she can sell about 30 cones of her most popular flavours each day. Some of the profit is eaten up by horseback riding and her personal snack habit. Serving up success Roya has one employee who's 17 years old. Mom and dad are never far away, and her big sister is helping at the family stable right next door. Managing the inventory and running the counter is all up to her. If she gets enough requests for a new flavour, she taps dad and he puts in an order. She's learned a few lessons during her time in the business. "You have to smile, you need to be good with money," she said. "You need to be very organized. You need to clean every single time. Wash your hands like a thousand times a day." The most difficult part is scooping the ice cream: "It gets pretty hard in the freezer. You have to have muscles." She gets the odd question from kids her own age — wondering why she's working at 11 years old. "I tell them they should do it," Roya said, adding that it's a lot of fun. "When the sun's shining and it's about Friday and Saturday and Sunday, those are the most busiest, funnest days." In the future, Roya said she wants to continue as an entrepreneur. In terms of university, she is split between a few options.
