Ethics Statement

IMAIGE’s automated curation and data extraction photo platform improves efficiency and creates revenue opportunities

AI Ethics Statement

We believe in AI for good. The promise and power of AI should be developed with the person it serves in mind, first and foremost.

Our goal is not to capitalize on our users’ engagement, but to develop personalized AI to enhance and improve their life experiences. Our intelligent automation can reduce screen-based cognitive load by taking on high-volume, repetitive tasks, like photo and video curation, in a 24/7 creative world.

IMAIGE Analytics is committed to the ethical usage of AI and transparent data practices. We strive to ensure our systems and our users’ data are used only for the intended benefit of the user.

 

IMAIGE Ethics Policy

Accountability:

We believe that each AI-practicing organization and person must consider all angles of AI design, development, decision processes, security, and especially outcomes. IMAIGE has made it a goal and responsibility to have control of how user data and our AI systems are leveraged to get in front of unintended outcomes and potential risks. We aim to develop and employ mechanisms and guardrails to identify responsibilities and provide accountability for using our technology and AI in its outcomes.
 

Transparency:

The path to responsible technology and AI spans a wide range of shared requirements to provide trustworthy, truthful, and inclusive systems. Technology is not innately trustworthy; people are. At the core, people design, build and produce these systems. We are responsible for building and establishing trust between our systems and our users.

We promise to provide technology and AI designed for our Customers to be secure and legally compliant.

 

Privacy and Security:

No one should have their right to privacy abused in creating or deploying AI systems. Any data used is compliant with local privacy legislation and is securely stored. AI systems are secure to prevent tampering.

AI is a fast-moving, and rapidly changing area of technology. As such, it is expected that we may need to revise this policy to account for yet unforeseen-use cases or changes in Government legislation.
