Lessons in Measuring Responsible AI

About

This final report in the Human Rights and AI Analytical Report Series: Concluding Reflections: Lessons in Measuring Responsible AI, provides a reflective synthesis of insights from the inaugural edition of the Global Index on Responsible AI (GIRAI). Authored by Faisal M. Lalani, the brief consolidates feedback from researchers, technologists, civil society actors, and policy users to surface five central questions for the future of responsible AI measurement. These questions explore how to foster meaningful collaboration between similarly situated countries, improve bottom-up and inclusive data collection structures, examine how public institutions are both empowered and limited by AI governance, and enhance the execution of governance itself.

The brief also critiques the inherent challenges of composite indices while offering a constructive path forward, especially as the second edition of GIRAI is being developed. By centering local expertise, promoting deeper engagement with civil society, and improving the integration of insights into policy and academic processes, this report acts as a critical resource for improving how responsible AI is assessed globally, especially in Majority World contexts.
