Also known as: AI Accountability · Artificial Intelligence Accountability
KI-Rechenschaftspflicht ist die Zuweisung und Durchsetzung von Verantwortung für Entwicklung, Bereitstellung, Betrieb und Auswirkungen von KI-Systemen. Sie stützt sich auf Governance-Praktiken wie Transparenz, Sicherung, Dokumentation, Evaluation und Mechanismen, die verantwortliche Parteien für Risiken oder Schäden rechenschaftspflichtig machen.
AI accountability is the process, heavily reliant on transparency and assurance practices, of holding entities answerable for the risks and/or harms of the AI systems they develop or deploy. This is closest to the definition adopted by the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) joint U.S.-EU set of AI terms, which defines accountability as an 'allocated responsibility' for system performance or for governance functions. Whereas OECD interpretive guidance distinguishes 'accountability' from 'responsibility' and 'liability,' the TTC definition embraces responsibility as part of accountability and includes a broader scope of governance activities. Accountability may require enforceable consequences. Such consequences, usually determined by regulators, courts, and the market, are accountability outputs. This Report focuses on developing and shaping 'accountability inputs,' which feed into systems of accountability.
