The pillars of responsible AI

  • Fairness & bias — models learn from data, so they can inherit and amplify bias; test and mitigate it.
  • Transparency & explainability — people should know when they're dealing with AI and, where it matters, why it decided something.
  • Privacy & data protection — protect personal and sensitive data used with AI (GDPR).
  • Accountability — a human remains responsible for AI-assisted decisions.

Regulation

The EU AI Act is the landmark law, taking a risk-based approach; frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework help organisations manage AI responsibly. This builds directly on Cyber GRC.
