Responsible AI Governance Maturity Model: 2024 Hackathon Report
Responsible AI Governance Maturity Model: 2024 Hackathon Report
The Responsible AI Governance Maturity Model is a framework for evaluating the social responsibility of AI governance in organizations that develop or use AI systems, based on the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. When used internally, the model is intended to help organizations diagnose where they stand and improve. When used externally, e.g., by investors, buyers, or consumers, the model is intended to inform decision-making about the company and its products.
The maturity model was developed in a research paper (Dotan et al. 2024) by Ravit Dotan, Borhane Blili-Hamelin, Ravi Madhavan, Jeanna Matthews, and Joshua Scarpino. Together with Carol Anderson, Ric Mclaughlin, and Benny Esparra we partnered with All Tech is Human and created a hackathon for engaging with the maturity model.
The goal of the hackathon was to bring diverse perspectives into the development of the model, and, at the same time, provide AI ethics education and networking opportunities. During the hackathon, participants practiced AI ethics skills and used the maturity model to evaluate either their own company using internal information or any other company using public information. The hackathon was a great success, with 250 registrants, 180 active participants, and 54 submitted evaluations. The hackathon team used participants’ work and feedback to improve the model.
In this report, we describe the maturity model, the hackathon, and learnings about the maturity model arising from the participants’ work. Thank you to all the participants and to the hackathon funder, The Notre Dame-IBM Tech Ethics Lab!
