| There is sufficient international alignment on emerging codes of conduct and standards for global companies to effectively implement RAI requirements across the organization. Disagree | “Most emerging codes of conduct and standards contain similar principles, but there are many variations an international company needs to adapt to.” |
| Companies should be required to make disclosures about the use of AI in their products and offerings to customers. Agree | “Companies should always care about the trust built with the people they engage with: employees, consumers, customers, providers, and partners. Use of AI should be disclosed in particular when there is an expectation that the work has been done in a traditional way. This will allow receivers of AI-generated content, for instance, to be more wary of known limitations of the technology.” |
| Organizations will be ready to meet the requirements of the EU AI Act as they phase in over the next 12 months. Strongly agree | “The EU framework is pragmatic and adapted by level of risk. Driven by respect of employees, consumers, and business partners, many companies have started implementing some of the requirements for ethical reasons already.” |
| Organizations are sufficiently expanding risk management capabilities to address AI-related risks. Neither agree nor disagree | “Because of the lack of knowledge/understanding, there is a mix of overestimation of risks and some underestimation. We are missing an approach by type of usage.” |
