Definition
Responsible AI is the set of values behind AI governance. The OECD AI Principles, adopted in 2019 and updated in 2024 and endorsed by dozens of countries, are a common reference: AI should benefit people, respect the rule of law and human rights, be transparent and explainable, be robust and safe, and have clear accountability.
In companies, responsible AI becomes concrete through impact assessments, bias testing, explainability, human oversight, and clear information to people affected by AI decisions.
