Artificial Intelligence (AI) is permeating every aspect of our life. While AI is not a new technology, the impact it is having on people and organizations is revolutionary. In the way the Internet changed the way we lived and worked in the 1990’s, AI is doing the same now. Like the Internet, AI has the potential to bring great benefits to people, but it can also bring great harm. It is society’s responsibility to ensure AI is used for the good of people.

AI Solution is a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.
Anonymization Process is the process by which customer data is modified to remove identifying data of individuals or non-public data of organizations.
Biometric Data is personal data resulting from specific technical processing relating to the physical, physiological, or behavioral characteristics of a natural person such as facial images or fingerprints.

Untargeted Scrapping is the wide-spread extraction of data with the goal of collecting as much data as possible as opposed to collecting specific data from a specific site.
Nextworld shall not deploy AI solutions that meet any of the following criteria:
Nextworld aims to create solutions that harness the power of AI to empower people to higher order and higher value work. We are committed to developing and deploying AI technologies that streamline business processes while minimizing potential harm. Human oversight and control over design, development, and use of AI technologies helps meet that commitment. Through responsible innovation and collaboration, we aim to harness AI's potential to drive positive change and contribute to a better future for all.
Nextworld prioritizes transparency to ensure that users have a clear understanding and control over how AI solutions are used. We strive to provide users with accessible information about our AI technologies, including inputs, capabilities, intended purpose, potential impacts, and limitations. By embracing transparency, we aim to foster trust and confidence by empowering users to make informed choices and promote responsible AI adoption.
Bias reduces the value of AI solutions and has negative impacts on individuals. Providing fair and non-discriminatory outputs is paramount in creating inclusive and equitable solutions that serve everyone equally. Where AI systems require human direction or control to ensure equitable results, the requirements will be clearly communicated to users. Our commitment to fairness and non-discrimination aims to create AI solutions that benefit and protect all of society.
Protecting privacy and customer data are fundamental to every Nextworld product and service. We prioritize the confidentiality and security of personal information entrusted to us by our users and customers. Through robust data protection measures and responsible data handling practices, we ensure that sensitive information is safeguarded against unauthorized access, misuse, and exploitation. Upholding this principle not only fosters trust and confidence among our users but also demonstrates our dedication to respecting individual privacy rights and upholding ethical standards in all aspects of our AI-driven services and products.
