Why Responsible AI Use is a Major Business Strategy Challenge
Capture all the upside from AI with none of the downside risk. Piece of cake, right? AI policy implementation is challenging because it touches so many aspects of the business. Leadership teams are trying to manage and exploit the benefits of AI before they fully understand the technology, what makes a good use case, and how to manage downside risks.
A truly responsible approach to AI policy development engages multiple teams:
- Sustainability: Do we actually know the energy and greenhouse gas impact of our AI applications? Does this matter relative to our other activities?
- ESG/Risk: Is our confidential data secure and segregated? How are we messaging our strategy?
- HR: How are we measuring employment-related impacts, both positive and negative?
- Sales: How is AI a competitive force multiplier for the value we can deliver to clients?
- Marketing: Are we automating routine tasks without sacrificing quality or innovation?
- IT: How do we meet the needs of all of these different stakeholders in such a fast-moving tech environment?
Your Easy Button for AI Policy Development is (Ironically) an AI Prompt
Is it a little ironic to use a Generative AI tool to generate your company’s AI policy? Yeah. The bottom line is that it works. Today’s LLMs are excellent at this particular drafting task. However, execution—the messier work of getting everyone on board and implementing the necessary internal tools, resources, and controls—remains a distinctly human endeavor.
