One of the most important things to know about “ethics” in AI is that it has to do with **values**. Ethics doesn’t tell you what’s right or wrong, it provides a vocabulary of values – transparency, safety, justice – and frameworks to prioritize among them. This summer, we were able to take our understanding of values in AI to legislators in the E.U., U.K., and U.S., to help shape the future of AI regulation. This is where ethics shines: helping carve out a path forward when laws are not yet in place.

In keeping with Hugging Face’s core values of *openness* and *accountability*, we are sharing a collection of what we’ve said and done here. This includes our CEO [Clem](https://huggingface.co/clem)’s [testimony to U.S. Congress](https://republicans-science.house.gov/_cache/files/5/5/551f066b-4483-4efd-b960-b36bc02d4b66/B82DBAFFA56F31799E058FB2755C2348.2023-06-22-mr.-delangue-testimony.pdf) and [statements at the U.S. Senate AI Insight Forum](assets/164_ethics-soc-5/clem_ai_insight_forum.pdf); our advice on the [E.U. AI Act](https://huggingface.co/blog/eu-ai-act-oss); our [comments to the NTIA on AI Accountability](https://huggingface.co/blog/policy-ntia-rfc); and our Chief Ethics Scientist [Meg](https://huggingface.co/meg)’s [comments to the Democratic Caucus](assets/164_ethics-soc-5/meg_dem_caucus.pdf). Common to many of these discussions were questions about why openness in AI can be beneficial, and we share a collection of our answers to this question [here](assets/164_ethics-soc-5/why_open.md).

In keeping with our core value of *democratization*, we have also spent a lot of time speaking publicly, and have been privileged to speak with journalists in order to help explain what’s happening in the world of AI right now. This includes:
