Responsible AI
Position Statement

Embrace the potential of ethical AI as we advocate for responsible practices that enhance human experiences in organizations. Join us in shaping the future by fostering positive change through responsible AI principles

In the process of making software more intelligent, AI has the potential to make organizations more human by enabling us to focus increased time and energy on communications, creativity, culture, community, and the human condition.

AI should make us better people, professionals, and organizations. However, this will not happen without a continuous focus on the responsible application of AI across all business functions.

We truly believe AI will have a disproportionate net positive impact on business and society, but it will alter career paths, displace jobs, and continually chip away at our privacy as consumers if we let it.

We must be willing to have the hard conversations now so that we do not ruin what can be one of the most transformative technological shifts in human history.

As AI capabilities race forward, leaders must clearly define their principles, policies and procedures.

This position statement is meant to codify our responsible AI principles at Betty Bot, and serve as an open template for other organizations and leaders who want to pilot and scale AI in an ethical way.

We invite you to use these principles under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license as a starting point for your own responsible AI policies and practices. This Creative Commons license lets others remix, adapt, and build upon the work, even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit the source and license their new creations under the identical terms.

We simply ask that you do your part to ensure the responsible use of AI in your organization and industry.

Our Responsible AI Principles

We believe in the responsible design, development, deployment, and operation of AI technologies

We believe in a human-centered approach to AI that empowers and augments professionals. AI technologies should be assistive, not autonomous for the foreseeable future.

We believe that humans remain accountable for all decisions and actions, even when assisted by AI. Humans must remain in the loop in all AI applications.

We believe in the critical role of human knowledge, experience, emotion, and imagination in creativity, and we seek to explore and promote emerging career paths and opportunities for creative professionals.

We believe in the power of language, images, and videos to educate, influence, and affect change. We commit to never knowingly use generative AI technology to deceive; to produce content for the sole benefit of financial gain; or to spread falsehoods, misinformation, disinformation, or propaganda.

We believe in understanding the limitations and dangers of AI and considering those factors in all of our decisions and actions.

We believe that transparency in data collection and AI usage is essential to maintain the trust of our audiences and stakeholders.

We believe in personalization without invasion of privacy, including strict adherence to data privacy laws, mitigation of privacy risks for consumers, and following our moral compass when legal precedent lags AI innovation.

We believe in intelligent automation without dehumanization, and the potential of AI to have profound benefits for humanity and society.

We believe in an open approach to sharing our AI research, knowledge, ideas, experiences, and processes in order to advance industry and society

We believe in the importance of upskilling and reskilling professionals and using AI to build more fulfilling careers and lives.

We believe in partnering with organizations and people who share our principles.

About This Document

Our hope is that it inspires other leaders and organizations to think more critically about their development and use of AI technologies and put responsible AI principles and policies in place to guide their teams moving forward.
