The study data suggests that those organisations who implement a broad AI ethics strategy interwoven throughout business units may have a competitive advantage moving forward . The study provides recommended actions for business leaders including :
• Taking a cross-functional , collaborative approach – ethical AI requires a holistic approach and a holistic set of skills across all stakeholders involved in the AI ethics process . C-Suite executives , designers , behavioural scientists , data scientists , and AI engineers each have a distinct role to play in the trustworthy AI journey .
• Establishing both organisational and AI lifecycle governance to operationalise the discipline of AI ethics – take a holistic approach to incentivising , managing and governing AI solutions across the full AI lifecycle , from establishing the right culture to nurture AI responsibly to practices , policies and products .
• Reaching beyond your organisation for partnership – expand your approach by identifying and engaging key AI-focused technology partners , academics , startups , and other ecosystem partners to establish " ethical interoperability ".
