## About this lecture

In this module, we are introduced to the origins of responsible AI and learn about organizational approaches to responsible AI. The module walks us through five rules to enable an organization to have a smoother and more successful journey towards responsible AI. While these rules generally focus on the product level, they have implications for organizational levels as well and offer key insights into building effective and empowered teams in this field. The module concludes with key learnings from Axente’s experience in the revolution that is responsible AI both at PwC and at client organizations.
