Responsible AI Resources

Advancing innovation and social good

We are optimistic about the future of work, but believe that action must be taken to ensure that innovation and social good advance together. We have now launched an Open Call for firms to partner with us on technology adoption through our Responsible AI Sandbox. Read more about that here, or fill in our short Expression of Interest form here.

Responsible AI Toolkits

The toolkits provided here are to help businesses explore the landscape of technology adoption, and help grow understanding on how firms can build and protect good jobs as they look to invest in AI technologies.

The Good Work Charter Toolkit sets out the legal and regulatory frameworks that exist to support the ten fundamental principles in the Good Work Charter that should be protected and promoted whenever new workplace technologies are introduced.

‍Understanding AI at Work helps employers and workers understand how human choices in the design, development and deployment of AI systems can impact these Good Work principles.

The Good Work Algorithmic Impact Assessment presents an approach for involving workers in the assessment of AI systems so that Good Work principles can be built and sustained.

Making smart choices about technology adoption

AI and algorithmic systems are transforming work in profound ways. These data driven technologies have the potential to create new, good jobs and improve access to good quality work, but they can also have adverse impacts.

As we navigate this technological transition, businesses, system engineers and workplace representatives need practical tools to improve understanding of the risks and opportunities that AI presents to make sure that a fairer future of better work is built.

Businesses have real choices when designing, developing and deploying new technologies. With a sharp focus on good work impacts, our Responsible AI Sandbox will help firms make those better choices.

There is good evidence that businesses that complement AI with investment in human capabilities see better productivity returns.

Our unique range of expert resources aligned with regulatory best practice and the Good Work Charter will allow businesses to forefront the voice and experience of stakeholders from all levels of the workforce.

We invite those who want to be trailblazers in responsible AI to work with us. If you share that vision, please do be in touch.
