The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) launched two efforts that can provide guidance to community well-being researchers as well as those creating, promoting and using artificial intelligence (AI). One effort is a publication entitled Ethically Aligned Design (EAD) which includes a chapter on well-being. This chapter identifies problems and points the way to solutions that are pertinent to community well-being. The other effort is a standard entitled 7010–2020 Recommended Practice for Assessing the Impact of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems on Human Well-being which provides a method for measuring the impact of AI on community well-being as well as a near encyclopedic collection of well-being indicators from which both community wellbeing researchers and AI stakeholders can learn and draw when considering the impact of AI on community well-being. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
