Summary

This paper explores the gap between high-level AI ethics principles and practical techniques for designing and developing responsible AI systems. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with researchers and engineers from CSIRO to understand how their practices align with the Australian Government's AI ethics principles. Key themes include privacy protection, reliability and safety, transparency, fairness, contestability, accountability, human-centered values, and human, social, and environmental well-being. The paper discusses challenges and insights from the interviews, emphasizing the need for actionable frameworks to support responsible AI development.
