Executives Are Coming to See RAI as More Than Just a Technology Issue

Read what our experts say

Disagree

“Executives tend to think of RAI as a distraction. In fact, many of them know very little about RAI and are preoccupied with profit maximization. Until RAI finds its way toward regulations, it will remain in the periphery.”

Neither agree nor disagree

“The multidisciplinary nature of responsible AI is both the beauty and the complexity of the area. The wide range of topics it covers can be hard to grasp. But to fully embrace responsible AI, a multitude of perspectives is needed. Thinking of it as a technology issue that can be ‘fixed’ only with technical tools is not sufficient.”

Linda Leopold

H&M Group

Agree

“In order to elevate ourselves from viewing RAI as a technology issue, it’s important to view the challenges RAI surfaces as challenges that largely exist with or without AI.”
