AI governance at Unit4
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers not only exciting opportunities and benefits but also new imperatives for AI risk-management and governance.
Here are the guiding values, principles and governance that underpin how we develop and make use of AI advances – not only within our products but across all our operations and day-to-day work.
Our values
At Unit4, our four values unite and guide us in everything we do:
we put people first, choose curiosity to embrace challenges,
make an impact with pride and always remain true to ourselves.
We believe that AI can only be developed and used with confidence within our ethical AI practices framework and always in keeping with our values.
New advances and responsibilities
The arrival of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the mainstream puts us at the edge of an unparalleled technological revolution that combines groundbreaking advances in how we work with the need to preserve trust and authenticity.
New opportunities and safeguards
Our strategy is to develop and use innovative AI products and capabilities within an AI governance framework and to enable our customers to embrace the complexity and harness the potential of AI automation for business.
Our guiding principles
Human oversight
We will always prioritize human oversight and judgement in decision-making – no decisions will be made by the business based solely on the output of an AI algorithm.
AI Governance at Unit4
- AI Framework – a living and breathing document, setting out our guiding principles.
- AI product development review – an AI compliance review in Unit4’s product development process, to ensure any Artificial Intelligence in our products is compliant with our guiding principles and AI Policy.
- AI Policy – a policy that sets out our processes, which Unit4 Staff must comply with, to ensure the ethical and compliant use of any AI products developed by Unit4 and any AI tools used within our organization.
- AI Committee – a cross-functional team, which oversees the use of Artificial Intelligence, ensuring that Unit4 implements and complies with the AI Policy. The AI Committee reports to the Global Leadership Team on a regular basis.
- Legal "SWAT" team – Unit4 has a process and staff in place to monitor upcoming legislation impacting our business (such as new laws on Artificial Intelligence), assess these laws and adjust our AI compliance program accordingly.
- Privacy and Security – Unit4 has established Security and Privacy programs.
