Responsible AI Institute welcomes HCLTech as newest member
HCLTech, a leading global technology company, has been elected as
the newest member of the Responsible AI Institute (RAI Institute), a global and
member-driven non-profit dedicated to enabling successful responsible AI
efforts in organizations.
This collaboration between
HCLTech and RAI underscores the Institute's pivotal role in shaping the
responsible development and implementation of AI technologies across
industries.
With a rich history of leadership
in digital transformation and innovation, HCLTech brings extensive expertise in
artificial intelligence and enterprise technology solutions to the Institute.
HCLTech’s approach to responsible AI is rooted in its foundations of trust and
social responsibility.
Responsible AI foundations lead
to sustainable and scalable AI solutions. Through HCLTech’s capabilities and
collaboration with the RAI Institute, the company is further enabled to support
clients through learning, best practices and partnership networks. Clients can
benefit from HCLTech’s help in implementing responsible AI practices,
containing risks and launching AI solutions that deliver maximum value.
AI can be a tremendous force of
positive change across society, but there is a need to balance innovation with
ethical use of AI. As a recent report from
HCLTech and MIT Technology Review revealed, despite 87% of business executives
recognizing that responsible AI principles are critical to adopt, 85% of the
executives are not well prepared to implement them for reasons
such as lack of expertise and difficulties in managing operational risks.
"We are delighted to welcome
HCLTech to the Responsible AI Institute's community," stated Jeff Easley,
General Manager at the Responsible AI Institute. "Their global reach,
early leadership in this space and technical prowess in AI implementation make
them an ideal partner in our mission. HCLTech's extensive experience across
industries will strengthen our ability to advance AI systems that balance
innovation with responsibility."
“As enterprises worldwide
accelerate AI adoption, responsible AI practices and partnerships are critical
to the success of these initiatives. We are honored to join the Responsible AI
Institute and its mission to be at the forefront of the responsible AI
evolution,” stated Dr Heather Domin, Vice President and Head of Office of
Responsible AI and Governance at HCLTech. “The time for responsible AI
deployment is now. Together, we can help enterprises embrace responsible AI
while maintaining the highest standards of ethics and sustainable growth.”
HCLTech has established robust
governance frameworks around AI and generative AI (GenAI), providing guardrails
for accountability, fairness, security, privacy and transparency, enabling
responsible use of the technology. To help ensure responsible AI practices
within the company, HCLTech has established an Office of Responsible AI and
Governance. HCLTech’s AI subject matter experts are experienced on National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) frameworks, Europe AI Act, ISO,
Risk and Compliance, ethics and bias mitigation. This office drives
implementation and innovation of responsible AI practices within HCLTech and
capabilities in products and services.
