Responsible AI In Government

Just like with human decision makers, AI systems must follow the relevant ethics & requirements. But the laws & regulations alone only provide a minimum standard – they are not sufficient to ensure that the AI system you operate is in line with your organisation’s values, ethics and societal expectations.

82% of organisations believe they adhere to ethical AI principles. Only 24% have procedures in place to verify this.

Who is ultimately responsible for the use of AI in your organisation? Do you have an AI Strategy and Assurance Framework in place? Do you have a Chief AI Officer?

Are your people adequately trained to understand how AI is being used in your organisation? Can they ensure it can operate in line with your values, ethical standards and stakeholder expectations?
