Ethikit – Trusted AI for your Business

EthiKit

Organizations who want to reap the benefits of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom currently sit at a crossroads: how do they maximize the advantages delivered by AI while mitigating the inherent risks? Bias, privacy, security, regulatory, and ethical concerns, as well as global news headlines of bad AI causing brand, reputation, and monetary damages, make it difficult for organizations to realize the full value of AI.

Leading organizations know that a successful AI strategy starts with ensuring data is reliable, protected and used responsibly. And you also need to be able to prove it.

Powered by Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud, Deloitte developed Ethikit, based on their Trustworthy AI Framework. Built with Collibra’s flexible operating model and workflow capabilities, Ethikit’s assessment tool makes it easy to implement responsible AI practices that will become a competitive advantage — maximizing the ROI of your AI strategy while minimizing risks..

lifecycle. Understand the breadth of data ethics considerations.

Who is accountable?
Accountability model: Identify appropriate teams from across the organization to be
responsible for assessing the relevant and appropriate actions to address data ethics.

How do we operationalize actions?

issues and aggregate as possible/appropriate.
Processes and controls: Ensure an understanding of mechanisms (processes) that can be
used to embed the data ethics actions.
Tools and techniques: Identify and leverage tools and techniques to systematize a set of
relevant data ethics considerations.

How do we accelerate adoption?
Communications, training and change management: Ensure customers, employees,
shareholders and other stakeholders are kept informed of the organization’s perspectives and
