Develop Responsible AI Guiding Principles

Chart the course to successful AI adoption to maximize opportunities and mitigate risks.

Evolving AI technology is creating an environment of constantly changing legislative, regulatory, and security requirements. If not met, organizations could be exposed to risks that can negatively impact organizational outcomes, such as threats to reputation and trust, privacy and security, inclusiveness, and transparency. In addition, many organizations are not collaborating to ensure an aligned and cohesive approach to AI procurement and adoption.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Many organizations are not implementing responsible AI guiding principles, which are critical in aligning the organization’s strategy and approach to AI. HR leaders have an opportunity to help drive organizational strategy, advocate for the HR function, prepare the organization for change, and help secure its success.

Impact and Result

Organizational leaders must develop responsible AI guiding principles collaboratively to align on the delineation of ethical and legal AI adoption and use. HR must partner with leaders to explore and define responsible AI guiding principles unique to the organization's culture, values, and anticipated risks. Supporting AI use as such will result in effective strategies and policies that enable organizations to seize opportunities while mitigating risks.
