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.
