Responsible and Accountable AI

RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE AI

Despite their power and potential, AI tools are still just mathematical models. What happens when an AI makes a decision with a negative impact on an individual or organization? The model itself cannot face any real consequence. Instead, accountability for AI and responsibility for deciding when and how it should be used is a uniquely human ethical task.

Accountability can be seen as a feature of the AI system, a determination of individual or group responsibility, and a quality of the social and technological systems in which the cognitive tools function. For AI, accountability means that not only can the system explain its decisions, the stakeholders who develop and use the system can also explain its decisions, their own decisions, and understand that they are accountable for those decisions.

A related but distinct dimension is responsibility, wherein stakeholders ask the essential questions of not just whether they can develop and deploy a given AI tool but whether they should do so. Determining if an AI application is a responsible choice is a whole-of-enterprise activity, involving all stakeholders from the executive suite to the most junior data scientist. It demands a shared sense of accountability and an acknowledgement that when working with AI, there is a necessary standard of care.

Is your organization’s AI Responsible and Accountable AI?

DIMENSIONS OF TRUST IN AI

Trustworthy AI results from how people, processes and technologies function together across multiple dimensions of trust. Not every dimension is pertinent for every organization or cognitive tool.These dimensions are explored in depth in Trustworthy AI, by Beena Ammanath.

  • Fair and Impartial
  • Robust and Reliable
  • AI Privacy
  • Safe and Secure
  • Transparent and Explainable AI
  • Accountable and Responsible
Trustworthy AI results from how people, processes and technologies function together across multiple dimensions of trust. Not every dimension is pertinent for every organization or cognitive tool. Rather, the dimensions of trust are lenses for interrogating AI design, function, and outcomes. With regular activities, decisions and documentation across the AI lifecycle, weighing and addressing the dimensions of trust is what permits effective AI governance and unleashes AI’s greatest potential value. These dimensions are explored in depth in Trustworthy AI, by Beena Ammanath.

THE NEED FOR TRUSTWORTHY AI

There has arguably never been a more exciting time in AI. Alongside the arrival of so much promise and potential, however, more attention is due to the ethics and trustworthiness of this powerful technology. It is a question of not just what can be done with AI but how it should be done – or whether it should be done at all. Because AI has been developed to this level of maturity, we must now grapple with some of the more complex ethical considerations concerning AI.

What does it mean for AI use to be ethical? How do we know if we can trust the AI tools we use?

The trajectory of AI can be conceived along three streams: research, application, and trust and ethics. Research concerns data science…

ESSENTIAL READING FOR EXECUTIVES

Businesses today are rapidly scaling AI to gain powerful new capabilities and to improve how they operate. Humans and machines are increasingly working together. And this trend exposes businesses to heightened risk of AI behaving in ways that are unethical. Just like their human counterparts in the workforce, AI systems are expected to adhere to social norms and ethics and to make fair decisions in ways that are consistent, transparent, explainable, and unbiased. Of course, figuring out what is ethical and socially acceptable isn’t always easy – even for human workers…
