Many companies trust their AI vendors without a thorough assessment, but this oversight can lead to significant data privacy risks and compliance failures. 🚀 Introducing the Generative AI Questionnaire! 🧠 I’m excited to share this comprehensive tool that I developed to address the growing complexities of AI. This #GenAI questionnaire is a key component of our Gen AI Governance Program at OpenRep, designed to ensure that the AI systems implemented are secure, legally #compliant, and ethically managed. 🎯 What’s it about? The questionnaire is focused on evaluating AI systems in crucial areas like: 📰 Data privacy: Ensuring that AI models are built using ethical data collection practices. 🔐 Security: Safeguarding AI infrastructure and development environments. 😇 Ethics: Mitigating risks related to AI bias and automated decision-making. 🔍 The process: In developing this questionnaire, I prioritized consequential questions that directly impact the risk profile of AI systems. Collaboration with experts and continuous feedback loops have been key in refining this tool, which we aim to update regularly as AI technology and regulations advance. 💡 Why it’s important for the industry: By providing a structured way to assess AI technologies, this tool encourages more ethical and transparent AI practices, fosters trust between businesses and vendors, and contributes to a safer, more accountable AI landscape. Thank you very much Ritchie Po, Sergey Bukharov and Mary Carmichael for the amazing input that you put into this questionnaire. I’m excited to have this questionnaire as an official resource for the Digital Governance Council | Conseil de gouvernance numérique You can check it out in the link below! Please share this with your network so that we can get ahead of AI before it gets ahead of us! #AI #Governance #AIethics #Cybersecurity #AICompliance #GenerativeAI #ResponsibleAI
