We have to stop using \u201cethics\u201d as an excuse to avoid investing in AI. Ethical standards are something enterprise leaders must lay out for their enterprises regardless of technology investments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, what DEI standards are acceptable, and what biases does a company want to set in stone? This dictates how AI can ultimately be governed and also which partners in the ecosystem a company should work with, as most enterprise leaders want to be aligned with other like-minded enterprises. For example, if a company deems it important to create a genuine gender balance within its management ranks, it will likely prefer to work with partners who share and practice those values.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethical fear-mongering threatens to kill off the commercial gains of GenAI at birth in three-quarters of global enterprises\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Three in four CEOs believe those with the best GenAI will obtain a competitive advantage. Yet the data \u2013 presented at an IBM event in London covering GenAI and HR \u2013 also shows three in four CEOs are willing to forego the commercial benefits of GenAI over ethical concerns.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These ethical concerns are regularly cited as the cause of delays in the implementation of AI and GenAI projects. We hear this often from service providers. Many report an uptick in the volume and value of GenAI projects in Q4 of 2023 \u2013 but they also lament how many enterprises are dragging their feet over governance concerns.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lumping ethics in the same governance bucket as accuracy and transparency has confused enterprise buyers\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

But many tech firms and service providers have done themselves no favors by lumping ethics in the same \u2018AI governance\u2019 bucket as accuracy and transparency. In doing so, they have muddied the waters. Ethics, accuracy, transparency, and openness are fundamentally different.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
