Principles in Action: A Playbook for Responsible AI Product Development
The Vector Institute Principles in Action playbook provides guidance for responsible AI product development across five stages: ideation, development, testing, deployment, and post-deployment. It stresses starting with human needs, questioning whether AI is necessary, defining success metrics, and planning for risks. Development advice includes sourcing fair and representative data, building explainable and secure models, and reducing environmental impact. Testing emphasizes continuous evaluation, human oversight, and fairness audits. Deployment requires transparency, phased rollout, user control, and clear communication. Post-deployment highlights trust, user engagement, performance monitoring, and regulatory adaptation.
