Each organization has their own guiding principles, but ultimately these principles need to be part of a larger responsible AI strategy to be effective. This strategy should encompass how your organization brings these principles to life both within your organization and beyond.
We recommend establishing a governance system that is tailored to your organization’s unique characteristics, culture, guiding principles, and level of engagement with AI. The tasks of the board should include designing responsible AI policies and measures; attending they’re being followed, and ensuring compliance.
To help your organization get started, we have provided an overview of three common governance approaches: hiring a Chief Ethics Officer, establishing an ethics office, and forming an ethics committee. The first approach is centralized, and the others are decentralized. All of them have their benefits, but we recommend combining them in a hybrid approach. A governance system that reports to the board of directors and has financial support, human resources, and authority is more likely to create real change across an organization.
