This paper therefore starts with an overview of this tool, including an assessment of its strengths and limitations. The authors then consider the success by which the ALTAI tool is likely to be of utility to industry in improving understanding of the risks inherent in AI systems and best practices to mitigate such risks. It is highlighted how research and practices from fields such as <jats:italic>Environmental Sustainability, Social Justice, and Corporate Governance<\/jats:italic> (ESG) can be of benefit for addressing similar challenges in ethical AI development and deployment. Also explored is the extent to which the tool is likely to be successful in being taken up by industry, considering various factors pertaining to its likely adoption. Finally, the authors also propose recommendations applicable internationally to similar bodies to the HLEG-AI regarding the gaps needing to be addressed between high-level principles and practical support for those on the front-line developing or commercializing AI tools. In all, this work provides a comprehensive analysis of the ALTAI tool, as well as recommendations to relevant stakeholders, with the broader aim of promoting more widespread adoption of such a tool in industry.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frai.2023.1020592","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]],"date-time":"2023-03-09T05:58:31Z","timestamp":1678341511000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["The assessment list for trustworthy artificial intelligence: A review and recommendations"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Charles","family":"Radclyffe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mafalda","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert H.","family":"Wortham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"84","DOI":"10.1109\/MSP.2005.23","article-title":"Software penetration testing","volume":"3","author":"Arkin","year":"2005","journal-title":"IEEE Security Privacy"},{"key":"B2","unstructured":"ArnoldZ.\n          What Investment Trends Reveal About the Global AI Landscape2020"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.1109\/SEthics52569.2021.00009","article-title":"\u201cExploring the assessment list for trustworthy ai in the context of advanced driver-assistance systems,\u201d","volume-title":"2021 IEEE\/ACM 2nd International Workshop on Ethics in Software Engineering Research and Practice (SEthics)","author":"Borg","year":"2021"},{"key":"B4","author":"Borgesius","year":"2018","journal-title":"Discrimination, Artificial Intelligence, and Algorithmic Decision-Making"},{"key":"B5","author":"Boulanin","year":"2017","journal-title":"Mapping the development of autonomy in weapon systems"},{"key":"B6","author":"Bourguignon","year":"2016","journal-title":"The precautionary principle: Definitions, applications and governance"},{"key":"B7","unstructured":"Toward trustworthy AI development: Mechanisms for supporting verifiable claims\n            BrundageM.\n            AvinS.\n            WangJ.\n            BelfieldH.\n            KruegerG.\n            HadfieldG.
