Summary: Human rights values, such as freedom of action, equal rights, solidarity, diversity, participation and pluralism of values, are to be strengthened, not restricted, by algorithmic systems. To ensure this, we need quality criteria for the development of AI/Algorithms.

The following quality criteria are aimed at all persons who have a significant influence on the emergence, development and programming, use and effects of algorithmic systems. The focus is on those algorithms that have a direct or indirect influence on people's lives.

They are based on the recognition that the course for beneficial AI is already being set during development and cannot only be achieved by subsequent regulation.

The attached quality criteria are not a substitute for regulation. Their early consideration and implementation enables smart regulation in the first place.
