In the age of AI, universities and industry readily advocate for ‘responsible AI’. Google and Microsoft, for example, have responsible AI labs that hold the view that people should develop and deploy AI technologies in a responsible way. However, it is not clear that there is any consensus on what "responsible AI" amounts to.
Through surveying the disparate work on responsible AI across fields, from ethical discussions about responsibility in moral theory to the responsible implementations of AI in the commercial market, this research clarifies ambiguities in responsible AI and draws distinctions among senses and kinds of responsibility that carve up the topic in illuminating ways.
This work will help shape an actionable responsible AI framework for organizations as society continues to advance and adopt AI technologies. A conference on the ethics of responsible AI will be organized as an opportunity to bring academics from philosophy and computer science together, alongside experts in Industry.
