b'InsightsWhat is your office doing in AI governance and risk management? The AI Advancement Council will play a key role in the area of governance and risk management development. Our approach to governance involves understanding our inventory, making decisions, and providing recommendations on how to advance the outcomes of our AI investments. When it comes to governance, one of the things that were doing is infusing risk management and risk mitigation. Our data is more vulnerablecan lead to an erosion in public trust and the slow progress when it comes to AI because of the way that the data is utilizedand adoption of AI. For example, we want to make sure that and the way that the data is accessed.communities are properly represented in data sets and in the inputs to the AI model. We need a diverse set of individuals The risk management aspect of what were doing is there towho are either validating the outcomes of the AI or they are minimize those risks and make sure that were thinking aboutinvolved upfront for what we call human in the loop. It is things that we can do to mitigate such risk. We deal oftenone of the best ways to prevent bias. You need a diverse set of with adversarial AI. We are working on finalizing an Artificialfolks that can see information from the different perspectives. Intelligence Risk Management Playbook with a planned release in 2023.

We are accelerating the research, development, deployment, demonstration, and adoption of responsible and trustworthy This playbook captures risk scenarios and provides prescriptiveAIdeveloping tools to audit and certify AI systems as guidance to mitigate those risks so that AI decisions areresponsible and trustworthy. Weve convened the Responsible responsible and trustworthy. The playbook even takes intoand Trustworthy AI Task Force that is going to be looking consideration mitigations that are relevant to edge devicesat how we institutionalize AI independent verification and like unmanned systems and personal devices.

We allow teams, such as our emergency responders, to act quicklywant the inputs from across the department. on data right where its captured. Its important to have a robust AI Risk Management Framework since AI is being used in critical infrastructure and is, as a result, vulnerable.To learn more about the Artificial Intelligence and Technology,go to energy.gov/artificial-intelligence-technology-office.A part of our responsible and trustworthy principles is that we stay close to the models after they are deployed. Our approachTo hear the interviews from The Business of Government Hour, go to around risk mitigation is to be proactive, try to prevent as muchbusinessofgovernment.org/interviews.as possible, and then understand the risk mitigation techniques that can be applied across the entire AI lifecycle.To download the show as a podcast, go to PodcastOne or iTunes and search for The Business of Government Hour.Would you tell us more about ethical AI? Why is it so important and how does it contribute to the pursuit of that goal of trustworthy AI?Ethical AI is the conscience of AI. AI doesnt have aware-ness of itself. It can only separate right from wrong based on data that has the label right and the label wrong attached to it. The only moral compass there is when talking about AI, is that of its developer, alongside interdisciplinary teams and data, who set the bar for what is right and what is wrong.Ethical AI is designed and deployed to deliver equality, fairness, justice, safety, and integrity. It can save lives, but unethical AIhttps://youtu.be/PZM3JKRwLjw2022 IBM Center for The Business of Government 47'
