As a future-facing organization, the approach of UnicornForms, Inc. (hereafter referred to as UnicornForms) to addressing the documentation problem underscores the need for robust ethical constructs. We acknowledge that our concept of operations necessitates algorithms that synthesize personal data. Therefore, our technology and business must align with a set of guiding ethical principles. As such, the UnicornForms Statement of Ethics is to uphold the following concrete principles both within the company and in external relations:
Accountability: As we move forward with a growing customer base, UnicornForms strives to hold our team and individuals accountable for the technologies we create. To do so, we inject data governance considerations into every aspect of our technology development and decision-making processes. Our considerations adhere to the advice of top experts in data science, artificial intelligence, and public policy. We deploy our technology with a clear hierarchy of responsibility. This hierarchy describes where the responsibility for each aspect of our technology lies, whether with an individual, our organization, or the user. In addition, we will track and register any issues or enhancements throughout the software development lifecycle.
We acknowledge that documentation itself is key to accountability for any organization. Likewise, we must hold ourselves and our processes accountable.
Transparency: To the most considerable extent possible, the essential elements behind the synthesis of documents will be available for inspection during and after UnicornForms software operation. We can achieve this as an organization because of the internal values that we promote to our development team:
Because of these values, we produce technology in which the data and decisions are transparent. As a result, our auditors or developers can interpret a logical story of how our technology produces a specific outcome in a given scenario. And these logical stories will be available to users, making it clear how their data is used. We view this principle as key to improving our technology in the future and its use by our customers.
Trustworthiness: The key to our business and business model is trust. Within our organization, we will continue to include considerations that incorporate technical trustworthiness and human trust-forming principles. This involves developing and tracking metrics concerning the following measurable facets of our processes and technology:
By monitoring each of these, our goal is to build trust in our organization and technology products over time.
Security and Safety: We are operating in a space where our users will synthesize documents containing sensitive data. Our responsibility to our stakeholders is to ensure the security and safety of this data, making sensitive data inaccessible, even to us. UnicornForms is committed to protecting the privacy and security of user data and documents.
At UnicornForms, accountability, transparency, trustworthiness, and security are our top ethical priorities. We will continue developing procedures and producing results that demonstrate our commitment to these priorities as we move forward into the future.
