Responsible AI Design
What is Responsible AI Design?
Responsible AI Design prioritizes fairness, transparency, accountability, and user welfare throughout the AI lifecycle. Instead of treating ethics as afterthought, this approach embeds responsible practices from design through deployment. It's essential for systems affecting people's lives in hiring, lending, healthcare, or content moderation. Examples include OpenAI's RLHF reducing harmful outputs, Google's Model Cards documenting biases, or LinkedIn's recruitment bias detection.
