Intel Fellow and director of the Intelligent Systems Research Lab at Intel Labs, Lama Nachman, emphasizes the importance of responsible AI practices in a recent opinion editorial. Nachman acknowledges the significant progress made by AI and deep learning in various fields, such as healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing. However, she also highlights the potential risks associated with the rapid advancement of AI tools and the increased accessibility of generative AI applications.

According to Nachman, the widespread availability of powerful AI tools to individuals without formal AI skills has raised concerns about misuse, safety, bias, and misinformation. In response to these challenges, Intel launched its responsible AI (RAI) program in 2017, aiming to integrate responsible development practices throughout the AI life cycle.

Intel’s commitment to responsible AI aligns with its vision of leveraging technology to drive positive social change. The company believes that prioritizing responsible development is essential to ensure the safe, sustainable, and ethical deployment of AI. As AI continues to evolve rapidly, Intel remains dedicated to advancing its RAI efforts to address emerging ethical and safety considerations in the AI landscape.
