Responsible AI Network (RAIN)

The Responsible AI Network (RAIN) informs the responsible development, deployment, adoption and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and research.

This Fellowship network promotes an innovation ecosystem that welcomes diverse voices, reduces inequalities, embraces critical thinking, collaborates across disciplines, and enables the wellbeing of people, places and planet.

The Fellow-led RAIN endeavours to:

• Shape practices: We provide civil society with an accessible and inclusive voice in matters concerning AI, challenge industry practices that contend with the responsible development, deployment, use and governance of AI, and engage policymakers in dialogues, providing diverse voices to the writing of AI-related policies and regulation;
• Promote literacy: We bridge gaps in information and promote multidisciplinary action through clear, jargon-free language; we build the capabilities of the public at large through lifelong learning opportunities; and we enhance the ecological and social literacy with which AI systems are developed and used;
• Ensure impact: Acknowledging the cost and privilege involved in community volunteering, we seek sponsorship, partnerships and other funded opportunities for the delivery of workshops on responsible AI, and conducting innovative research into the values and voices underpinning AI;
• Inform the RSA: We inform the RSA’s AI-related practices to ensure that the Fellowship’s values are promoted through the organisation’s partnerships, communications, and technological deployment and adoption.
