“Responsible AI is composed of autonomous processes and systems that explicitly design, develop, deploy and manage cognitive methods with standards and protocols for ethics, efficacy and trustworthiness,” Burciaga wrote. “Responsible AI can’t be an afterthought or a pretense.”
Burciaga also listed six essential elements of responsible AI, along with brief descriptions:
- Accountable: Algorithms, attributes and correlations are open to inspection.
- Impartial: Internal and external checks enable equitable application across all participants.
- Resilient: Monitored and reinforced learning protocols with humans produce consistent and reliable outputs.
- Transparent: Users have a direct line of sight to how data, output and decisions are used and rendered.
- Secure: AI is protected from potential risks (including cyber risks) that may cause physical and digital harm.
- Governed: Organization and policies clearly determine who is responsible for data, output and decisions.
