Advising
We work with senior leaders spearheading AI ethics or Responsible AI efforts at their organizations. Our job is to provide them with the clearest and most practical guidance our expertise allows. We point out red flags, ensure a solid foundation is built, and provide guidance throughout implementation.
Sometimes we do the heavy lifting of drafting an AI ethical risk program (details below). Then we work with our clients to ensure a custom fit. In other instances, our clients do the heavy lifting and we advise as outside subject matter experts.
If you might need our help, let’s have a conversation to see if we’re a fit. Reach out to reid@virtueconsultants.com.

If lack of model oversight is a problem, we might recommend creating an ethics committee and help you think through the criteria for membership of that committee and what powers it ought to have. We’ll recommend updates to existing policies and, in some cases, the creation of new policies. In general, an AI ethical risk framework is a blueprint or map for what your AI ethical risk program looks like.
