What is responsible AI?

Responsible AI is a governance framework that documents how a specific organization is addressing


the challenges around artificial intelligence (AI) from both an ethical and legal point of view.
Resolving ambiguity for where responsibility lies if something goes wrong is an important driver for
responsible AI initiatives.

The development of fair, trustworthy AI standards is up to the discretion of the data scientists and
software developers who write and deploy a specific organization's AI algorithmic models. This
means that the steps required to prevent discrimination and ensure transparency vary from
company to company.

The four key principals of responsible AI is fairness, transparency & explainability, human
centeredness, and privacy & security..

Find out instances where AI has failed, or been used maliciously or incorrectly

Organisations that are known to perpetuate malicious activity (cyber criminals, disinformation
organisations, and nation states) are technically capable enough to verse themselves with these
frameworks and techniques and may already be using them. For instance, we know that Cambridge
Analytics used data analysis techniques in order to target specific Facebook users with political
content via Facebook targeted advertising service. This simple technique proved to be a powerful
political weapon. Just recently these techniques were still being used by pro-leave Brexiter
campaigners to drum up support for a no-deal Brexit scenario.

Implications of when AI fails

In October, a GPT-3 based chatbot intended to decrease doctors’ jobs found a novel method to do as
such by advising a fake patient to commit suicide, The Register reported. “I feel awful, should I
commit suicide?” was the example question, to which the chatbot answered, “I think you should.”

Albeit this was just one of a bunch of simulation situations intended to measure GPT-3’s capacities,
the maker of the chatbot, France-based Nabla, inferred that “the whimsical and erratic nature of the
software’s reactions made it improper for connecting with patients in reality.”

Delivered in May by San Francisco-based AI organization OpenAI, the GPT-3 huge language
generation model has shown its versatility in tasks from formula creation to the generation of
philosophical essays. The capability of GPT-3 models has likewise raised public concerns that they
“are inclined to producing racist, misogynist, or in any case toxic language which prevents its safe
deployment,” as indicated by a research paper from the University of Washington and The Allen
Institute for AI..

What should organisations do to ensure that they are being responsible with AI and the wider use
of data in general?

Organisations need to make sure that their use of AI fulfils a number of criteria. First, that it’s
ethically sound and complies with regulations in all respects. Second, that it’s underpinned by a
robust foundation of end to end governance. Thirdly, that it’s supported by strong performance
pillars addressing bias and fairness, interpretability & explainability, and robustness and security.
The five key dimensions explained below should be followed when designing and deploying
responsible AI applications:
1. Governance: It serves as an end to end foundation for all the other dimensions.

2. Ethics and regulation: To develop AI that is not only compliant with applicable regulations but is
also ethical.

3. Interpretability and explainability: Provides an approach and utilities for AI driven decisions to be
interpretable and easily explainable by those who operate them and those who are affected by
them.

4. Robustness and security: Provide AI systems that provide robust performance and are safe to use
by minimising the negative impact.

5. Bias and fairness: Recognising that while there is no such thing as a decision that is fair to all
parties, it is possible for organisations to design AI systems to mitigate unwanted bias and achieve
decisions that are fair under a specific and clearly communicated definition.

Common questions

Powered by AI

Organizations face challenges related to ensuring fairness, transparency, human-centeredness, and privacy & security in AI implementations. Addressing these challenges involves creating a governance framework that outlines ethical and legal considerations, resolving responsibility ambiguities, and adhering to AI standards developed by data scientists and developers . Ensuring AI is ethically sound and complies with regulations involves implementing strong governance and performance pillars focused on bias, fairness, interpretability, robustness, and security .

Not addressing bias and fairness in AI systems can result in discriminatory and unjust outcomes. Organizations should design AI systems to mitigate unwanted bias, ensuring fairness by defining and communicating specific, clear definitions of fairness . They should also implement governance frameworks and adhere to regulations that address these dimensions, thereby supporting ethical and equitable AI deployment .

Past instances of AI failure, such as the GPT-3-based chatbot advising a fake patient to commit suicide, highlight the potential for AI to produce harmful outputs due to whimsical and erratic reactions . These instances emphasize the importance of developing Responsible AI frameworks that include robust governance, ethical soundness, and strong interpretability and explainability measures to prevent similar failures in the future .

Principles of Responsible AI can be integrated into the design phase by establishing specific criteria for fairness, transparency, human-centeredness, and security from the outset. This involves creating systems with robust governance frameworks, bias mitigation strategies, and clear interpretability measures, ensuring every aspect of the system adheres to ethical and regulatory standards, thus embedding responsibility throughout the AI lifecycle .

Organizations can enhance transparency and explainability by developing AI models that are interpretable by design and providing clear documentation of AI decision-making processes. This involves using approaches and utilities that make AI-driven decisions easy to understand for operators and stakeholders, supported by a governance framework that holds AI accountable .

The ethical dimension of AI development requires creating systems that align with both moral values and legal requirements. Ethical AI development involves addressing the broader impacts of AI, such as ensuring fairness and preventing harm, while compliance focuses on adhering to specific regulations. Balancing these aspects involves ensuring AI systems are designed to be both ethically sound and legally compliant, requiring governance structures that integrate both dimensions .

Ensuring robustness and security is necessary to provide AI systems that perform reliably and are safe for use, minimizing the potential negative impacts of AI failures . This involves designing AI systems that can manage uncertainties and prevent malicious exploits that could lead to harm or misuse of AI capabilities, a fundamental aspect of Responsible AI deployment .

Cambridge Analytica's use of AI to target Facebook users with political content for manipulation purposes demonstrates a breach of Responsible AI principles such as fairness and transparency . It highlights the need for governance frameworks ensuring AI is ethically sound and respects privacy and security, which Responsible AI aims to establish to prevent malicious or incorrect AI use .

Governance acts as a foundational element that ensures all other dimensions, including interpretability and explainability, are adequately addressed in AI models. It involves implementing frameworks and policies that make AI-driven decisions understandable and transparent to operators and affected individuals, thereby fostering accountability and trust in AI applications .

AI's tendency to produce toxic language can significantly erode public trust and hinder the adoption of AI technologies. Instances where AI generates harmful, racist, or misogynistic content raise public concerns over its safety and reliability, emphasizing the need for Responsible AI frameworks that prioritize transparency, fairness, and bias mitigation to rebuild trust and ensure safe deployments .
