Recording Presentation

This session will introduce BSR’s Responsible AI Practitioner Guides, which offer those working on responsible AI actionable tools to integrate human rights into every stage of AI development and deployment. This includes everything from a human rights-based approach to governance and management, to risk mitigation, stakeholder engagement, and transparency and disclosure practices.

We encourage practitioners working to embed responsible AI practices in companies across the value chain to attend.
