Envision AI workshops are one part of the implementation effort for the Microsoft Responsible AI Standard. In this session, we aim to provide policymakers with a practical experience of how we think through responsible AI problems with our product teams. The session will be highly interactive and discussion-based, as we cover how Microsoft is evolving the mindset of our product teams to ask difficult questions and the rules that we have developed to enact our AI principles.
Not all uses of AI have the same risk profile. Some bring more risk than others and therefore merit heightened review and guidance. The Office of Responsible AI’s Sensitive Uses program is how and where such reviews take place. In this keynote, Daniel Kluttz, who leads the Sensitive Uses program at Microsoft, will discuss Microsoft’s three sensitive use triggers that initiate reporting obligations and the Sensitive Uses review process. He will also discuss how Sensitive Uses connects to broader responsible AI governance efforts at Microsoft.
In recent years, the need for ethical principles and guidelines for AI has been discussed intensively and a large number of political and societal initiatives have been launched. Now the main task is to put these principles into practice in order to be able to guarantee the responsible development and application of AI. We will discuss the associated opportunities and challenges with leading experts from German and Swiss politics and society.
