SUGGESTED ACTIONS
- Grounding the responsible AI framework in the human-centric principle of “accountability” that makes organizations developing, deploying, or using AI systems accountable for harm caused by AI;
- Promoting a context-sensitive framework for transparency and explainability;
- Elaborating the notion of elegant failure, as well as revisiting the “tragic choices” dilemma;
- Supporting open-data practices that help encourage AI innovation while ensuring reasonable and fair privacy, consent, and competitiveness; and
- Encouraging responsible AI by design.
