Contact ITontology to talk through how responsible AI can take shape in your environment.
Responsible AI at Microsoft refers to the principles and practices that ensure AI systems are safe, fair, and accessible. It is important because as AI transforms how we work and live, it brings both opportunities and challenges, including concerns about bias, safety, and transparency. Microsoft believes that to fully realize the benefits of AI, there must be a shared commitment to responsibility.
How does Microsoft implement Responsible AI?
Microsoft implements Responsible AI through its Office of Responsible AI (ORA) and the Responsible AI Council. ORA provides governance and policy expertise, ensuring that all AI initiatives align with the Microsoft Responsible AI Standard, which includes principles such as fairness, security, and accountability. Each AI project undergoes an impact assessment to ensure compliance with these standards.
What are the key principles of Microsoft's Responsible AI Standard?
The key principles of Microsoft's Responsible AI Standard include: treating all people equitably, ensuring security and privacy by design, performing reliably and safely, empowering and engaging everyone, ensuring clear understanding of AI capabilities, and maintaining human accountability for AI systems. These principles guide the development and deployment of AI technologies at Microsoft.
