White Paper: Steps Toward AI Governance

Insights and Recommendations from the 2024 EqualAI Summit

EqualAI’s 2024 Responsible AI Summit, cosponsored by RAND, was convened on July 31, 2024, in Washington, D.C., to facilitate dialogue among corporate stakeholders from multiple industries, functions, and roles about artificial intelligence (AI) development, acquisition, and integration. The purpose of the summit was to identify and align on common practices, discuss challenges, and share lessons learned in establishing and evaluating metrics in AI governance. In these conference proceedings, we describe key insights derived from summit discussions about best practices, metrics, and tools for evaluating the standards and performance of AI systems. These insights are intended to help organizations foster a cohesive approach to AI governance.
