The principles
Blueprint’s Five Principles offer a picture of what a purpose-led organisation might look like.
A business is essentially a set of relationships and we often therefore refer to the Principles as a relationship map. Each section sets out where an organisation seeks to get to rather than where it is. The points are not intended to be exhaustive but are designed to help businesses challenge themselves to be ‘better’.
Blueprint’s Five Principles for organisations using AI offer a picture of what a purpose-led organisation might look like if it were to implement Blueprint’s Framework for organisations using AI. Each section sets out aspirational outcomes, but these should not be seen as exhaustive or a compliance checklist. Instead, these Principles should be used to continually challenge and help an organisation picture how they design and deploy AI systems and tools in service of the common good and human flourishing.
Our original Principles for a purpose driven business, on which this draws, are set out below:
