Date of event: Thursday, May 11, 2023

Where: Online

Description: 

The Global Index on Responsible AI is a new global project  that will assess practice and commitments toward responsible AI at a country level, in more than 120 countries.

The objective of the Global Index is to provide a comprehensive, reliable, independent and comparative benchmark for assessing the progress towards responsible AI around the world. It will measure efforts made to guarantee and promote responsible AI practices, as well as build a repository of good governance and policy innovations in this area.

Societal impact:

There is a global consensus that AI must be used responsibly if societies around the world are to enjoy the benefits of AI while avoiding the risks associated with even greater social and economic inequalities. To make progress in advancing responsible AI, it is critical to know and understand the current state-of-play, as well as be able to track progress over time. The Global Index on Responsible AI will address the need for inclusive, measurable indicators that reflect a shared understanding of what responsible AI means in practice, and track the implementation of responsible AI principles by governments and key stakeholders.
With this new evidence benchmarking the state of responsible AI use on a country by country basis, government and community leaders will be able to develop and implement plans to strengthen national initiatives to support the responsible use of AI and track progress moving forward. The Global Index is being developed to equip governments, civil society, intergovernmental organisations, human rights defenders and the general public with evidence to determine the level of rights-based AI governance and practice around the world.
