Details

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 Model does two things: 

• It sets out a vision for what responsible innovation in AI looks like, and the component Fundamentals and Conditions required to build trustworthy AI. 

• It operates as a practical tool that public sector teams can use to rapidly identify the potential risks associated with the development and deployment of AI, and understand how to mitigate them.  

RTA uses the model to run red-teaming workshops. These collaborative sessions map data and AI projects against the model to rapidly identify where risks might arise, and prioritise actions to ensure their approach is trustworthy. 

We are now making the Model publicly available to enable more teams to take advantage of this approach. Using the Model to build trustworthiness into AI tools across the public sector will help the UK to capitalise on the huge benefits of these technologies whilst addressing the risks and building trust.
