IEEE Draft Standard for Responsible AI Licensing

The IEEE P2840 standard pertains to licenses which, by subscribing to this standard, meaningfully engage with the spirit of responsible use of AI systems. In this regard, the standard is not intended to define what a license or contract is--these are well understood by legal systems across the world. Rather, licenses subscribing to the IEEE P2840 standard shall adhere to and specify clauses that pertain to dimensions of use (i.e., capabilities, consequences, areas of application) of specific technical artifacts.
