Example Answer
I would connect ethical goals to concrete decisions: the operating domain, hazard evaluation, data use, affected populations and accountability for release. Measure relevant error and outcome differences, document uncertainty and provide appropriate human review and feedback paths. Representative data, explainability tools or a broad ethics statement do not guarantee fairness or compliance. The applicable safety, privacy and legal obligations require qualified review for the deployment rather than an engineer’s general assurance.
Make it your own
Illustrative release checklist item: unresolved population-specific failure, its consequence, proposed mitigation and the person authorized to accept or reject the remaining risk.
Why this works
The checklist makes responsibility explicit without claiming ethics can be certified by a single metric. Follow-up: when should a technically improved model still be rejected?
