Description

The Model for Responsible Innovation is a practical tool created by DSIT’s Responsible Technology Adoption Unit (RTA) to help teams across the public sector and beyond to innovate responsibly with data and AI.

The RTA uses the model to run red-teaming workshops with teams developing data-driven technology.

These workshops are run by RTA experts and free for public sector teams. They provide rapid, hands-on support to help teams identify the biggest threats to trustworthiness in their current use cases, and tailored recommendations for addressing them.

The Model for Responsible Innovation can help you if:

• You are a public sector team delivering a project which contains some element of data-driven technology or AI
• You are a private sector team building an AI or data-driven tool which you plan to use for a public sector purpose, or has a significant societal footprint
