The company's plan is intended to be a comprehensive guide that will help organizations define their AI principles that will form the basis of their future management policies and practices. By taking this proactive approach, organizations can ensure responsible and effective adoption of AI technologies, reducing risks and maximizing benefits.

“During previous technology revolutions, business and technology leaders have had time to plan an approach and oversee its implementation,” says Travis Duncan , director of research at Info-Tech Research Group. “With AI, the horse was already out of the stable before most organizational leaders began to understand the complexity of the opportunities and risks inherent in this technology. Before management established policies and governance, non-technical staff explored the performance benefits of ChatGPT and other similar tools, and technical staff formally or informally used AI models.

This exponential development of artificial intelligence technologies is further emphasized by research in computer science, which shows the importance of establishing the principles of artificial intelligence as a first step. However, the real challenge arises when these principles are integrated into the daily activities of technical and non-technical staff. Engaging key stakeholders and communicating the importance of AI principles is critical to bridging this gap and ensuring everyone is aligned with the organization's AI vision.

“To make matters worse, technology is advancing so rapidly every week that traditional approaches to policy and management are lacking,” Duncan explains. This indicator has made the use of responsible artificial intelligence techniques mandatory. Organizations must quickly understand AI solutions to combat new risks. Central to this are the Responsible AI Guidelines, which provide a framework for establishing safeguards for technical and non-technical staff. While working with AI technologies . "

Info-Tech explains in a recently published resource that with the right set of AI fundamentals, organizations can effectively manage the complexity of risk. The company outlines the following six principles for the responsible use of artificial intelligence, based on input from practitioners and industry.
