Back to Basics: Revisiting the Responsible AI Framework

In the last few months we have seen promising developments in establishing safeguards for AI. This includes a landmark EU regulation proposal on AI that prohibits unacceptable AI uses and imposes mandatory disclosures and evaluations for high-risk systems, an algorithmic transparency standard launched by the UK government, mandatory audits for AI hiring tech in New York City, and a draft AI Risk Assessment Framework developed by NIST at the request of US congress, to name a few. That being said, we are still in the early days of AI regulation. There is a long road ahead to minimize harms that algorithmic systems can cause. In this article series, I explore different topics related to the responsible use of AI and its societal implications.
