Responsible AI Toolkit

Inter-American Development Bank

Responsible AI Toolkit is an essential guide designed for technical teams focused on the ethical and responsible implementation of machine learning algorithms in the public policy arena. This manual addresses everything from data collection to visualization, analysis and interoperability, offering a comprehensive framework for data management. The purpose of this handbook is to provide detailed technical recommendations and practices to ensure that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in public policy aligns with ethical and responsible objectives. It recognizes the existence of general principles for ethical AI, but distinguishes itself by providing practical and clear guidance on how to implement these recommendations in reality, thus ensuring appropriate and effective use of AI in public decision-making.

The Responsible AI White Paper addresses the challenges associated with AI ethics, bias, and transparency. Empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions and adopt practices that promote the development and responsible use of AI.
