Welcome! We are the Responsible AI Collective (RAIC), a group of conversation designers, AI engineers, and researchers building AI systems we can be proud of.

We believe responsible AI design shouldn't be a nice to have. It should become the norm: we can't ship until it's there.

This kit is our starting point, and yours. Use it to design your AI systems more responsibly, with your whole team in the room.

What is this resource

<aside> <img src="/icons/light-bulb_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/light-bulb_yellow.svg" width="40px" />

A practical framework of AI risk zones you use to run a workshop with your team, define the risks specific to your AI product, and build a concrete mitigation roadmap.

How to run a workshop with your team

Designing ethical AI systems: A hands-on workshop

Step 1: Watch this first

📹 Here's an example of how to run the workshop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqkWVDi_9GY

Step 2: Get your team together (design + dev + product) and go through each risk zone:

1. Open one risk zone.
2. Ask your team the zone's questions, one by one.
3. Write down every answer.
4. Identify the real risks for your product.
5. Brainstorm mitigations (technical, design, and process).
6. Move new requirements into your task tool and update your roadmap.
7. Repeat, one risk zone at a time.
