AWS and TCS Collaborate on Responsible AI Platform to Ensure Ethical Approaches and Outcomes Across the Entire AI Lifecycle

TCS and AWS are reaffirming their commitment to responsible AI by launching a comprehensive platform covering the entire AI lifecycle from data preparation to model deployment and monitoring. The platform provides mutual customers with access to advanced techniques such as fairness metrics to mitigate bias and ensure ethical outcomes, according to the vendors.

These capabilities are crucial for businesses, not only to address upcoming and evolving AI regulations but also to ensure sustainable value creation and the scalability of AI applications across business and society.

TCS is working with partners such as AWS to operationalize responsible AI. Whereas in the past this was difficult for organizations due to shifting governance, measurement, and management models, TCS and AWS have built a structured implementation framework to contextualize responsible AI principles into actionable guidelines and policies that can evolve organically over time.

This framework provides comprehensive lifecycle coverage by identifying responsible AI tenets for a given scenario and connecting the tenets to mechanisms that test the developed models comprehensively and monitor them in real-time after deployment.

Guided by the TCS Responsible AI SAFTI tenets, the framework helps identify gaps across people, process, and technology aspects of AI, while also aiding developers to infuse responsible AI guardrails across the entire AI lifecycle.

Critically, this includes mechanisms to test and monitor defined metrics. The framework enables TCS and AWS customers to develop and deploy AI applications with Responsible AI baked in by using the following process:

• Assess risks
• Analyze recommendations
• Align policies
• Act on the policies
• Audit metrics

TCS’ long-term vision is to democratize AI by providing tools and resources that empower organizations of all sizes to develop and deploy AI responsibly, according to the company.
