How the AI Ethics Score Is Calculated

The AI Ethics Score (0–100) aggregates weighted scores across five dimensions: Transparency (25%), Accuracy (25%), Bias Mitigation (20%), Audience Harm (20%), and Regulatory Compliance (10%). Higher scores indicate more responsible AI content practices.

Ethics Score = Transparency(25%) + Accuracy(25%) + Bias(20%) + HarmRisk(20%) + Compliance(10%)
Transparency Score = (Disclosure + Attribution + Process Clarity) / 3 × 25
Accuracy Score = (Fact-checking + Human Review + Source Quality) / 3 × 25
Bias Score = (Representation + Language + Perspective Diversity) / 3 × 20
Harm Risk Score = (Audience Vulnerability + Misinformation Risk + Emotional Impact) / 3 × 20
Compliance Score = (FTC Compliance + Platform Rules + Local Regulation) / 3 × 10

FTC guidelines (2023+) require clear disclosure when AI generates or substantially assists in content that could mislead consumers. Score below 60 indicates significant ethical risk. Score above 80 indicates responsible AI content practices.
