Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and its corollaries have begun permeating the social fabric, including the social impact ecosystem. As organisations and nation-states increasingly embrace nascent forms of AI, social impact innovators face the formidable challenge of establishing robust foundations for Responsible AI (RAI). 

This article delineates actionable steps for the implementation of RAI Frameworks, outlining how these steps can be implemented and the right time to do so. Drawing on insights derived from Citizen Digital Foundation’s engagements with business, education, media, and government stakeholders across Southern India, this article provides a practical RAI implementation guide and sheds light on the potential opportunities and real-world challenges encountered by organisations throughout the various stages of AI transformation.
