AI governance, strategy, and fluency with Accountable AI
At AIccountable, we specialise in guiding workers, staff representatives, unions, non-profits, charities, and organisations to responsibly integrate accountable AI, ensuring technology aligns with your strategy while driving meaningful change with emancipatory AI.
Together we shape how, why, and where AI is being deployed
Three steps towards accountable AI for emancipation.
Which AI governance framework?
What are the legal and regulatory boundaries you have to take into account? Which guiding principles do you want to uphold? And how do you implement a consultation process with your stakeholders for the whole AI lifecycle?
What AI strategy?
What are your organisation’s unique objectives and key results to be achieved? How can AI play a significant role in contributing to your purpose? And how do you involve your stakeholders to get the best outcomes?
How to build AI fluency?
How do you train your team to use AI responsibly and with accountability? What are the key skills to develop new expertise through adaptive learning? And how do you set up a worker-centric learning process?
“Daniel Huegli has emphatically outlined what we need to consider when applying AI systems. I am now well informed about where I can contribute to the regulation of AI at an organisation and political level.”
Nadia Huberson, Business and Product Support Manager & Member of the Staff Commitee, Localsearch (Swisscom)
“Daniel provided us with invaluable support in developing and formulating AI governance guidelines, drawing on his deep expertise in both conceptual and content-related aspects of the subject. He helped us develop a specific approach that is consistent with our organisation’s strategic goals and define a legally compliant and socially accountable use of AI. In addition, during an AI literacy training course, he not only taught us the basics of AI applications and the associated risks, but also showed us strategic options for regulatory action. We can warmly recommend Daniel as an AI expert.”
Carol Ghiggi, Central Secretary ICT and Lawyer, syndicom
