Editor's note: An update to Unity's Guiding Principles for Ethical AI was published in June 2023. |
At Unity, we fundamentally believe the world is a better place with more creators in it. It’s our mission every day to democratize development, solve hard problems, and enable success for creators in diverse industries such as games, automotive, architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), media and entertainment.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key component of that mission. AI is a powerful and disruptive technology altering the landscape of application development and the greater world as we know it. Think about that: “altering the landscape and the greater world as we know it.” Because we see AI as a potentially powerful tool, we feel compelled to express clear ethical and moral principles defining how we use AI.
That’s why we’re launching Unity’s Guide to Ethical AI. These principles are meant as a blueprint for the responsible use of AI for our developers, our community, and our company. We expect to develop these principles more fully and to add to them over time as our community of developers, regulators, and partners continue to debate best practices in advancing this new technology.
With this guide, we are committed to implementing ethical use of AI across all aspects of our company's interactions, development, and creation. We encourage our community of creators to join us in embracing, and over time, evolving these principles.
The adoption of AI is increasing at a fast pace. It’s helping developers in every area of society -- entertainment, science, education, healthcare, manufacturing, design, and engineering, you name it -- to create solutions, implement change, and drive progress. We believe turning Unity developers into experienced AI practitioners is one of the best ways to democratize the technology.
We hope you’ll join us.
