FIELDNOTE 04 / THE HUMAN QUESTION

Better questions.
Better AI.

Responsible AI is an ongoing practice: understand the limits, protect people, and keep humans accountable.

01Accuracy+

How will we know it works?

Evaluate outputs against reliable evidence. Test with realistic examples and plan for mistakes. Confidence in the wording is not evidence of correctness.

02Fairness+

Who could be left out?

Consider whether the data and evaluation cover different groups and contexts. Compare outcomes and investigate unequal performance.

03Privacy+

What information is necessary?

Minimize sensitive inputs, understand how data is handled, and get appropriate permission before sharing information.

04Accountability+

Who owns the decision?

Make responsibility clear, communicate where AI is used, and provide a way for people to question or correct outcomes.
