Setting Standards for Responsible AI

Human Centered: Design AI systems with human oversight that are imbued with the AAA’s values, mitigate bias, and preserve control over critical decisions. 

Private & Secure

Privacy Enhanced & Data Governed: Manage data responsibly with strict attention to privacy while adhering to data governance standards. 

Secure & Resilient: Foster trust in the dispute resolution process by protecting the AAA’s data confidentiality, integrity, and system reliability while defending against external threats and ensuring operational resilience. 

Accurate & Reliable

Accurate & Built with Purpose: AI applications should provide reliable outputs, maintain consistency under varied conditions, and communicate any limitations or the need for human oversight at key points in our processes. 

High Performing: AI applications should adhere to industry standards for uptime and response time to human inputs. 

Explainable & Transparent

Explainable AI: The AAA’s AI systems should allow staff and participants in our process to understand and trust their outputs.
