Building responsible AI systems requires more than good intentions—it demands a structured approach that transforms principles into actionable practices. Fairness, efficacy, transparency, and accountability are the four pillars of responsible AI, but translating these concepts into real-world processes and controls can be challenging. Without a clear governance playbook, enterprises risk exposing themselves to bias, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory scrutiny.
