Companies yearn for rigorous AI accountability tools. Following a burst of generative AI advances, many are racing forward to develop and deploy the technology before they miss out on market opportunities. But criticism that AI outcomes are risky and unpredictable has also grown louder, and some tech leaders have called for more restraint. Amidst this mainstreaming of AI, a five-year-old nonprofit organization called the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Institute (RAII) is launching what it says is the first independent certification program for responsible AI implementation. The Anti-Corruption Report spoke with the RAI Institute’s director of partnerships and market development Alyssa Lefaivre Škopac about the certification program’s features, its focus on specific use cases, and the three ways that companies can use it – plus, how RAII aims to keep up with the fast changes in generative AI.
