We exercise oversight and meaningful human control over the design, use, and outcomes of AI to confirm alignment to our values, regulatory obligations, and purpose.
We take steps to identify and mitigate unacceptable biases that can arise during the development and use of AI to ensure that outcomes for our clients, partners, and employees are consistent with our values of integrity, inclusion, responsibility, and empathy.
We maintain information relevant to the design, operation, and use of AI and ensure an appropriate level of disclosure to support informed decision-making, build AI literacy, and facilitate trusted technology experiences.
We make design decisions that are use-case driven to confirm that stakeholders can accurately understand how and why outputs have been reached, where appropriate and technically feasible.
We are committed to respecting the privacy and confidentiality of the personal information entrusted to us in alignment with our Global Privacy Principles, including any personal information used in or resulting from the development, operation, or use of AI.
We monitor AI systems to ensure that they perform as designed and intended, leveraging contextually relevant benchmarks and measures to proactively identify and respond to changes in AI system performance.
We take steps to identify and defend against adversarial actions that threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of AI systems and underlying data.
We will seek to leverage the benefits of AI in how we offer products and services that support our clients in their own sustainability, decarbonization and resilience objectives, while proactively managing the environmental and social risks related to the use of AI.
