If you’re a data professional and you’re not brushing up on Responsible and Ethical AI frameworks, you’re missing a critical expertise in your career. It’s not just about building smart models anymore—it’s about building trustworthy ones. With regulations tightening around AI use (think GDPR, AIDA, and more), understanding these frameworks will be key to what you do on a daily basis if it isn’t already now. But beyond the legal stuff, there’s your company’s reputation for trustability to think about. Learning how to embed fairness, transparency, and accountability into your AI use isn’t just good practice—it’s good business. Plus, it positions you as a forward-thinking pro in our field.
Global Data Summit
Today I presented a “book report” on my searches for responsible and ethical AI resources. Talks are only 20 minutes, so it was a fast coverage of frameworks, guides, and playbooks for your AI projects. The slide deck is meant to be a jumping off point for finding more resources for your AI projects. It’s full of links and references.

I wish I could have spent 20 minutes or more on each topic:
Explainable
Trustworthy
Safety & Security
Transparent
Human-focused
Metrics and Tools
Monitoring
Managing Risk
Fairness
I recently found that NASA has one, too.

NASA publishes their AI plan as well
Calls to Action
Let me know below if you have found other useful resources.
Ready to take the next step? Your first assignment is to read up on trusted AI ethics frameworks. Your second is to bring it up in your next team meeting. Every action counts when it comes to building AI that’s not just smart, but responsible.

[…] This week, I had the privilege of presenting at the Global Data Summit in Reykjavik — a city known for its natural wonders, but also a strong tech industry. My session, Updating Data Programs with Responsible and Ethical AI focused on the intersection of data governance and artificial intelligence, and how organizations can prepare their data governance and data management programs for the ethical challenges and opportunities AI presents. This session was an excellent opportunity to discuss AI Ethics in a global context. This was my follow-up talk after presenting Responsible and Ethical AI Frameworks: An Introduction. […]
