Open Loop India program: Roundtable on the Role of Stakeholder Engagement in Implementing Human-centred AI

Date: Tuesday 11th October 2022
Time: 11:00 – 16:00 IST

Led by: Laura Galindo (Open Loop team at Meta) Sunil Abraham and Abhishek Jain (India Policy team at Meta) and Kazim Rizvi, Kamesh Shekar, Shruti Shreya from The Dialogue (India-based Think Tank).

On 11 October 2022, Open Loop launched a new policy prototyping program in India at an in-person Roundtable in New Delhi with a selected group of multi stakeholder experts from different sectors (a number of civil society organizations, academia, industry, NASSCOM and UNESCO) to share insights on the role of stakeholder engagement in the implementation of the principle of ‘human- centric’ AI across a company and the AI system life cycle in India.

The Open Loop consortium will publish a brief discussing the insights shared by participants during the roundtable. The insights and learnings will also inform the upcoming report synthesizing the Open Loop program in India next year.

This new policy prototyping project will guide and enable companies in India to implement the AI principle of human centricity, as enshrined in the national AI principles of India, and in a way that accounts for local and regional cultural factors, with an emphasis on stakeholder engagement.

Participating companies (including a number of startups in India in four sectors: healthcare, finance, education and agriculture) will test a framework and operational guidance for the implementation of the principle of human-centred AI through a series of prototyping tasks with a focus on stakeholder engagement.

Latest Programs

Competition in AI Foundation Models

Meta’s Open Loop program is excited to have launched its first policy prototyping program in the United Kingdom, which is focused on testing the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) AI Principles to ensure that they are clear, implementable and effective at guiding the ongoing development and use of AI Foundation Models, while protecting competition and consumers.

Generative AI Risk Management

Meta’s Open Loop launched its first policy prototyping research program in the United States in late 2023, focused on testing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) 1.0. This program gave participating companies the opportunity to learn about NIST's AI RMF and subsequent “Generative AI Profile” (NIST AI 600-1), and to understand how this guidance can be applied to developing and deploying generative AI systems. At the same time, the program gathered evidence on current practices and provided valuable insights and feedback to NIST, which can inform future iterations of the RMF and Gen AI profile.
