Frameworks and Toolkits for Assuring Responsible AI
Frameworks and Toolkits for Assuring Responsible AI
This report explores experiences of using tools for assuring responsible practice in the build, deployment, and governance of AI systems, in particular frameworks and toolkits developed and published by RAi UK-funded projects and by other organisations. We examine evidence of how and why these tools are used, and of their usefulness and their limitations. We look for lessons that could improve AI assurance in the future, including potentially using AI-based tools to support AI assurance. The aim is to identify priority areas and key questions for RAi UK and other researchers and organisations to explore further, with the goal of improving the fit between the supply of, and demand for, tools that support organisational assurance of responsible AI .Responsible Ai UK and our partner for this event, Confiance.ai, brought people together from across government, public services, and industry, as well as project teams that develop support for responsible AI. The aim was to clarify how people should approach the development and use of toolkits and/or frameworks in practice. We wanted to synthesise findings from our research across the programme and to find and address any gaps. The workshop took place online on Thursday 10 April 2025.
