The need for Trustworthy AI

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 and AI engineering, which has characterized much of the history of AI to date. For several decades and accelerating, we have seen AI application in growing volume, impacting every industry and touching every organization.

What is emerging today, as AI scales, is the increasingly important third stream— determining how to use this technology in an ethical way such that we can trust it. For AI to reach its fullest and greatest potential, it must be trustworthy and aligned with enterprise values and human ethics.

There will never be just one approach or universal solution for AI trust. Just as every business is unique, so too are the tools they use. Each company must identify what trustworthy AI means for the enterprise and then design, develop, and deploy to that vision. In this way, striving for trustworthy AI is not a one- time engagement but a feature of the overall AI lifecycle.

When ethical considerations in AI are accounted for, addressed and treated in practice, stakeholders are informed and engaged. Documentation is comprehensive. Processes and strategies reflect business priorities and values. A sociotechnical system emerges that allows the organization to move confidently into the dazzling future with AI. This whole-of-enterprise activity requires consistent attention, and the reward is AI that can be trusted to perform as intended with maximum value and minimal drawbacks.

In pursuit of this vision, the challenge becomes defining trustworthiness, identifying the relevant fields and concepts, mobilizing people, amending processes, and implementing new technology. This is no small endeavor, and it is one that can be aided by the insights and leading practices explored in Trustworthy 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.

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…
