IEEE P7014.1

New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.
The standard provides recommended practices for ethical usage of emulated empathy in General-Purpose Artificial lntelligence (GPAl) systems for human-artificial intelligence (Al) partnerships. The use of emulated empathy in GPAl systems for human-Al partnerships refers to general-purpose Al products marketed as empathic partners, personal Al, companions, co-pilots, agents, assistants, and related phrasing for human-Al partnering.

This recommended practice defines ethical considerations and good practices regarding the use of emulated empathy in general-purpose artificial intelligence systems for human-AI partnerships. This includes general-purpose artificial intelligence products marketed as empathic partners, personal AI, co-pilots, assistants, and related phrasing for human-AI partnering.
The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide clear and practical ethical recommendations for the conception, design and lifecycle of general-purpose artificial intelligence applications that emulate empathic abilities to enable human-AI partnerships.
