• Abstract: Acceleration ethics addresses the tension between innovation and safety in artificial intelligence. The acceleration argument is that the most effective way to approach risks raised by innovation is with still more innovating. This paper begins by defining acceleration ethics theoretically. It is composed of five elements: innovation solves innovation problems, innovation is intrinsically valuable, the unknown is encouraging, governance is decentralized, ethics is embedded. Subsequently, the paper illustrates the acceleration framework with a use-case, a generative artificial intelligence language tool developed by the Canadian telecommunications company TELUS. While the purity of theoretical positions is blurred by real-world ambiguities, the TELUS experience indicates that acceleration AI ethics is a way of maximizing social responsibility through innovation, as opposed to sacrificing social responsibility for innovation, or sacrificing innovation for social responsibility.

An increasingly prominent research area in AI is ethics, which currently has no set of benchmarks nor commonly accepted way for measuring the 'ethicality' of an AI system. We argue that it makes more sense to talk about 'values' rather than 'ethics' when considering the possible actions of present and future AI systems.
