Trust at the center

We put trust at the center of everything that we do. Deloitte uses Trustworthy AI^TM, our proprietary multidimensional AI framework to help organizations develop ethical safeguards and implement AI solutions that do as intended. While GenAI is new in many ways, it accelerates and amplifies risks that have always been a factor in AI development and deployment. The concepts and tools that enable Trustworthy AI still apply, even as many of the emerging risks and problematic scenarios are more nuanced. As more companies adopt AI, leaders grapple with ethical decisions about its design and use. Help clients bridge the ethics gap by gaining real-world experience in using the framework and considering AI solutions across a comprehensive set of factors. Learn what it takes to build safeguards needed to manage AI risk and articulate trust in AI and GenAI solutions.

The Trustworthy AI/GenAI framework includes six primary facets:

1. Fair and impartial use checks to identify biases within algorithms/data, designing controls for unexpected outcomes.
2. Transparent and explainable AI practices so participants understand how their data is being used.
3. Responsibility and accountability policies to clearly determine who is responsible for the output of AI system decisions.
4. Robust reliability monitoring so AI systems can learn from humans/other systems and produce consistent outputs.
5. Privacy safeguards for data to ensure that consumer privacy is respected and data isn’t leveraged beyond intended use.
6. Safe and secure cybersecurity protocols to protect AI systems from potential risks that may cause physical and digital harm.
