Trustworthy AI transforms our work at OneTrust


AI is unleashing new potential, and new concerns. AI holds the promise to drive enterprise-wide efficiencies by increasing user engagement and productivity. It also represents the potential to introduce new revenue streams by transforming existing business models. Achieving these goals cannot come at the cost of data protection or ethical principles.  
 
OneTrust embeds AI technology in our products to ensure that business outcomes are achieved through AI innovation, but not at the expense of trust. Transparency is the first step in building trust and this page is dedicated to openly sharing our guidelines and best practices for responsible use of AI at OneTrust.  

Our principle-based approach to responsible AI 

We have designed a set of strong principles that integrate our ethical standards into how we approach the design, delivery and use of AI solutions and services. Behind these principles, we have invested in the frameworks, data infrastructure, and community necessary to confidently build and use AI responsibly. By doing so, we facilitate a future where technology and human ingenuity converge to create value for our customers.

Transparency by design

Openness and explainability about how AI systems work is part of our journey. Outlining the data that is processed by an AI system, the logic behind the processing algorithm, and material impact of an AI system on individuals are essential to understanding an AI system.

Safety and reliability assurance 

AI systems shall be designed to perform safely and reliably. Any material statements about its safety and reliability must be supported with documented evidence.

Algorithmic accountability 

Humans develop AI systems and are ultimately responsible for any harm that results from outcomes produced by AI systems. We require a clear system of accountability for managing AI risks to ensure that any issues with a potentially negative impact on individuals are detected early and managed responsibly.

AI systems shall not harbor biases or promote discriminatory practices. We must develop AI systems that ensure inclusivity and growth for all.
