Ethics in AI and Socially Responsible Intelligent Automation

Most of us don't realise how much AI is used in our everyday lives, making decisions that impact us every day. Companies have increased their focus to drive automation and data-driven decision-making across their organisations. As AI develops, instances of unfair outcomes have come to light. The procurement professional has a critical role in safeguarding their company and their company’s customers when procuring these technologies. We have to address concerns around the ethics of AI when implementing it including

• Fairness
• Explainability
• Transparency
• Privacy
• Lack of understanding around how the tech processes people’s data.

When procuring AI, what should you be considering, and which questions should you be asking? Is there a need for regulations and standards in this space?
