The third article in NITI Aayog’s series of publications on responsible artificial intelligence (RAI), “Responsible AI for All: Adopting the Framework – A Use Case Approach on Facial Recognition Technology,” is now available.
The National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence (NSAI), announced by NITI Aayog in 2018, contained a roadmap for implementing AI in five public sectors in a way that is both secure and advantageous for all citizens. The strategy paper described “AI for All” as the guiding philosophy for upcoming AI design, development, and implementation in India. This strategy involved guaranteeing the ethical and appropriate application of AI.
In 2019, stakeholder discussions on the recommended approach for the responsible use of new technologies were initiated in collaboration with the World Economic Forums as a follow-up to NSAI. A two-part approach document defining principles for the ethical design, development, and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in India as well as enforcement methods for putting these principles into practise was published in 2021 as its culmination (RAI principles).
They established these RAI principles in response to the growing demand for governance and regulatory frameworks that would minimise the potential risks of AI while maximising its benefits for the greatest number of people.
Those are:
safety and dependability, diversity and nondiscrimination, equality, confidentiality and security, openness, responsibility, and defence and reinforcement of admirable human ideals.
The suggested solution must also be put to the test in a real-world scenario to ascertain its effectiveness and pinpoint any potential drawbacks. As a result, the first use case to investigate the previously mentioned RAI principles and operationalization mechanism is face recognition technology (FRT).
