International Gaming Standards Association releases best practices document for artificial intelligence

The International Gaming Standards Association on Monday announced that it has released “Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence,” the first in a series of new best practices documents by the association.

“The EAI (Ethical Artificial Intelligence) Committee has completed work on our very first release of a set of best practices, which is a new document form for us,” IGSA President Mark Pace said in a statement. “The EAI is also the first of our non-technical committees to release such a document.

“The nine best practices for the ethical use of AI in the gaming industry was completed with input from the IGSA Regulatory Committee, which is composed exclusively of representatives from regulatory authorities. The membership recently voted to approve the document.”

The best practices were created primarily for use by regulators providing a framework to “help provide oversight of AI use in our industry,” Pace added. “I would like to thank Richard Bayliss, chair of the EAI committee, and the committee members for their diligent work in creating these first set of best practices.”

“I’m grateful to the committee, for their work on this new effort,” said IGSA Chairman and former Chair of the EAI committee Nimish Purohit. “Our committee members have been putting in the time for the meetings and new members are joining IGSA to contribute. This is the first in a series of new best practices from IGSA and we’ll be releasing them from our other committees, too. These documents will be considered ’living documents,’ and we will add to them as the committees continue to create work output.”
