Corporate entities are increasingly adopting various generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, text-to-image generators, plagiarism detection tools, and AI-powered research assistants. To ensure transparency and explainability in the use of these tools, a comprehensive framework is essential. Here’s a suggested framework that considers the diverse range of generative AI tools used by corporate entities.
Documentation and Disclosure
Maintain accessible, detailed records on AI tools’ capabilities, limitations, and biases. Ensure that the documentation is easily accessible to the relevant stakeholders.
Interpretability Techniques
Use specific methods like attention mechanisms for language models, and visualization of latent spaces for image generators.
Explainable Outputs
Provide clear explanations for AI-generated decisions and recommendations highlighting the reasoning behind them.
User Interfaces
Develop easy-to-use interfaces with interactive visualizations to help users understand AI processes. In many cases it is highly recommended that an ‘easy-to-understand’ workflow process between use of various tools be created visually.
Audit Trails
Implement secure, comprehensive logging to track AI activities and decisions. Ensure they are tamper-evident and accessible for review and accountability purposes.
Human-in-the-Loop
Integrate human review for critical decisions, ensuring accountability by incorporating human-in-the-loop mechanisms.
Explainability Audits
Regularly review and update AI tools’ explainability, including third-party audits for impartial assessments.
By implementing this comprehensive framework, corporate entities can foster trust, accountability, and responsible use of generative AI tools, ensuring that the benefits of these technologies are realized while mitigating potential risks and concerns.
