How does IDC define responsible or ethical AI, and what should government agencies know about this? Adelaide O'Brien: As AI proliferates in government agencies and is being deployed for mission-critical operations, it will make or assist in decisions having significant impact on almost every aspect of individuals' lives. As the role of data-enabled automated decision making becomes more pervasive, transformative applications are demonstrating the potential that human and machine pairing can bring. At the same time, ethical challenges are being raised regarding the potential for errors, due to inadvertent algorithmic or data bias in sensitive areas, particularly regarding gender, race, class or age. Responsible or ethical AI includes the practices that government agencies can and should take to manage, monitor and mitigate these risks. Responsible and ethical use of AI includes protecting individuals from harm based on either algorithmic or data bias or unintended correlation of personally identifiable information (PII) even when using anonymous data.
