Responsible AI (RAI) Office will serve as the
custodian of ethical use of AI and ensure solutions align with
emerging guardrails for AI across geographies
BENGALURU, India, Feb. 27,
2024 /CNW/ -- Infosys (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY)
(NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services
and consulting, today announced the launch of its Responsible AI
Suite, a part of Infosys Topaz, an AI-first set of services,
solutions, and platforms using generative AI.
The rise of powerful generative AI systems in the past year has
raised several concerns and conversations around the ethical
dimensions of AI. According to the Infosys Generative AI Radar, by
Infosys Knowledge Institute, enterprises worldwide are
identifying data privacy, security, ethics, and bias as the primary
challenges in their pursuit of innovation with AI. The Responsible
AI Suite is designed to help enterprises balance innovation with
ethical considerations, such bias and privacy prevention, and
maximize their return on investments.
Infosys Topaz Responsible AI Suite is a set of 10+ offerings
built around the Scan, Shield, and Steer framework. The framework
aims to monitor and protect AI models and systems from risks and
threats, while enabling businesses to apply AI responsibly. The
offerings, across the framework, include a combination of
accelerators and solutions designed to drive responsible AI
adoption across enterprises.
Scan: Includes solutions to help identify the
overall AI risk posture, legal obligations, vulnerabilities, and
generate a single source of truth for compliance status of all AI
projects. For example, the Infosys Topaz RAI Watchtower is used to
monitor upcoming threats, vulnerabilities, and legal
obligations.
Shield: These solutions focus on building technical
guardrails, checks, and accelerators that are responsible by design
across the AI lifecycle. It also consists of specialized solutions
for AI security. For example, the Infosys Topaz Gen AI Guardrails help enforce the safe use of Gen
AI by moderating input prompts and output for multiple risks.
Steer: These advisory and consulting services
support strong and efficient AI governance for innovation.
Offerings include AI strategy formulation, legal consultation, and
contract reviews.
Infosys Topaz Responsible AI Suite will be amplified by an
ecosystem of technology partners and think tanks via the
Responsible AI Coalition. The Responsible AI Coalition will bring
together startups, cloud service providers, and technology partners
to further the common goal of advancing responsible AI. It will
also lead a special working group of noted academicians,
influencers, policymakers, and industry leaders to aid in shaping
solutions that help set new industry standards in the responsible
AI space.
Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief
Analyst, HFS Research, said, "With the challenges of
Responsible AI currently forcing many enterprises to slow their
progress towards achieving scaled value with AI, smart offerings
such as Infosys Topaz's Responsible AI suite can clear the path to
help them accelerate their critical AI initiatives."
The suite of offerings is complemented by Infosys Topaz RAI
office. This ensures that the offerings deliver solutions that ably
navigate the shifting landscape of complex technical, policy, and
governance challenges related to adopting AI responsibly across
business functions. The office of RAI is also responsible for
looking into different facets of ethical aspects of AI like
transparency, fairness, privacy, security and compliance. The
Office constitutes a centralized body for streamlining AI
governance, formulating AI risk strategy, and maintaining
standards, policies, and guidelines. It will also ensure adherence
to responsible-by-design principles and standards throughout the AI
development lifecycle, facilitating safe use of AI across
organizations.
Commenting on the launch, Balakrishna
D. R. (Bali), Executive
Vice President, Global Services Head, AI and Industry Verticals,
Infosys, said, "Responsible and ethical AI deployment is a
business imperative as technology evolves. At Infosys, we recognize
the critical need for fostering responsible AI and not merely as a
set of principles but as actionable steps. Infosys Topaz
Responsible AI Suite is a significant stride in helping our clients
better manage their AI-first journey. Together with the Infosys RAI
office, we affirm our commitment to advancing the ethos of
responsible AI, providing enterprises with the necessary tools and
expertise for ethical AI implementation."
