    <h1 class="c0" id="h.mnplm636u8gt"><span class="c25">Preamble</span></h1>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.eglagoxtungb"><span>Introduction</span></h3>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c8 c3">The development and applications of research in NLP are advancing rapidly, with
            direct real-world consequences. As a result, possible societal benefits exist, but related risks also
            increase considerably. Aware of these potential challenges, BigScience drafted an ethical charter
            formalizing its core values and how they are articulated. </span></p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.pizdhwq4mm3n"><span class="c2">Scope</span></h3>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c8 c3">The scope of this ethical charter is threefold:</span></p>
    <p class="c6"><span class="c3">1.</span><span class="c29">&nbsp; &nbsp; </span><span class="c8 c3">To establish the
            core values of BigScience in order to allow its contributors to commit to them, both individually and
            collectively.</span></p>
    <p class="c6"><span class="c3">2.</span><span class="c29">&nbsp; &nbsp; </span><span class="c8 c3">To serve as a
            pivot for drafting BigScience documents intended to frame specific issues ethically and legally.</span></p>
    <p class="c6"><span class="c3">3.</span><span class="c29">&nbsp; &nbsp; </span><span class="c3">To enable Big
            Science to promote values within the research community through scientific publication, dissemination, and
            popularization. </span></p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.4dmemwedxldk"><span class="c2">People concerned</span></h3>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c3">The </span><span class="c3">members</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;of BigScience hold
            the values stated in this ethical charter. </span><span class="c3">As ethical guidelines, they </span><span
            class="c3">apply</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;to any activities and </span><span class="c3">documents
        </span><span class="c3">governing a specific aspect of the project.</span></p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.5nzsvwkd3vlg"><span>Limitations</span><span class="c2">&nbsp;of this ethical charter</span>
    </h3>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c3">Given the breadth of the scope of BigScience and thriving</span><span
            class="c3">&nbsp;to seek</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;</span><span class="c3">progress in NLP
            research,</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;we recognize that not all scientific research will have a positive
            impact on society.</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;It is difficult to predict all the uses the scientific
            community will make of our artifacts. Therefore, we defer to our </span><span class="c3">license</span><span
            class="c3">&nbsp;and </span><span class="c3">model card</span><span class="c8 c3">&nbsp;for further
            information.</span></p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.588ssoa0kuzk"><span>Relevance over time</span></h3>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c3">We interpret ethics as an ongoing process, not a time-fixed code with universal
            validity. For these reasons, when needed, BigScience will review, update and adapt the ethical charter from
            time to time.</span></p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.hageuekn1vrz"><span class="c2">Legitimacy </span></h3>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c3">The elaboration of this ethical charter results from</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;a
        </span><span class="c3">bottom-up collaboration</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;that tried to collect </span><span
            class="c3">all the different thoughts and opinions of BigScience participants</span><span class="c3">. Then,
            experts in applied ethics and law did a final revision.</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;</span><span
            class="c3">We aim for consensus: if any BigScience member individually does not feel aligned with one or
            more of the values inscribed in this ethical charter, the member will have the right to object at
            appropriate times and places to that end.</span></p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.jdhmndrb7h6c"><span class="c2">Ethical approach</span></h3>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c3">We assume the basis of value pluralism within our community</span><span class="c3">,
            and we cherish it. That is why the ethical notion of harmony (</span><span
            class="c3 c31">&#21644;</span><span class="c3">) in Confucian moral theory seemed to be the appropriate
            approach for such an international and interdisciplinary scientific community as BigScience. </span><span
            class="c3">&ldquo;Harmony is by its very nature relational. It presupposes the coexistence of multiple
            parties; [&hellip;] harmony is always contextual; epistemologically it calls for a holistic
            approach</span><sup class="c3"><a href="#ftnt1" id="ftnt_ref1">[1]</a></sup><span class="c3">.&rdquo;</span>
    </p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.nqsxmohx8aod"><span class="c2">Ethical compliance </span></h3>
    <p class="c13"><span class="c8 c3">We distinguish two levels of ethical compliance operating within the charter:
            individual and collective. We are held accountable for ethical compliance both as individual BigScience
            contributors and as a collective research entity.</span></p>
    <h3 class="c12" id="h.r7f3yy3mgo"><span>Other documents articulation </span></h3>
    <p class="c13"><span class="c3">Given the pivotal function of this ethical charter, we will refer to the other
            BigScience documents intended to govern specific issues directly where needed in the relevant
            paragraph.</span></p>
    <h1 class="c0" id="h.d9g8zvq49mv9"><span class="c28">BigScience Values</span></h1>
    <p class="c7"><span class="c19 c3 c11">&nbsp;</span></p>
    <p class="c13"><span class="c3">We apply the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic values in the structure of
            this ethical charter. The former refers to &ldquo;what is valuable for its own sake, in itself [&hellip;],
            as an end</span><sup class="c3"><a href="#ftnt2" id="ftnt_ref2">[2]</a></sup><span class="c3">&rdquo;; the
            latter is characterized as &ldquo;what is valuable as a means, or for something else&rsquo;s</span><span
            class="c3">&nbsp;work</span><sup class="c3"><a href="#ftnt3" id="ftnt_ref3">[3]</a></sup><span
            class="c3">&rdquo;.</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;We distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic values
            because the latter can vary more efficiently to achieve the former goals: the latter are
            substitutable.</span><span class="c3">&nbsp;This structure will help the reader understand how the two types
            of values combine and allow the BigScience community to adapt this ethical charter over time.</span></p>

    <p class="c1"><span class="c3">With regards to the results of our research, such as the future Large Language Model,
            these are created by the research community to the research community, and therefore </span><span
            class="c3">will be released on an open basis, taking into account the risks derived from the use of the
