AI Guidelines Guru

The AI Guidelines Guru Tool is a prototype for interacting with ethics guidelines using generative AI, which is being developed as part of the BMFTR ANKER project. It is available as a beta version:  A database of over 200 publicly available ethics guidelines and frameworks is made accessible and searchable via an interactive view.

The semantic search for the multitude of very different guidelines and frameworks is intended to enable developers and users to filter them better and identify those that are relevant to their use case and question: A summarized answer based on relevant text excerpts is generated for each question entered, and the source and page information for the text excerpts is made available.

How does the tool work?

Technical Background

The tool uses a RAG system. A RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) is a hybrid AI architecture concept that performs a semantic search (retrieval) in which relevant text excerpts are extracted from a database of textual information using vector search. In the generation component, this information is then transformed into a coherent, context-related response based on large language models. In this way, information is extracted from existing knowledge bases (AI ethics guidelines) and presented in a textually meaningful way.
