Winners Announced: Responsible AI Global Hackathon

Over 760 people from across the world came together to use their creativity, passion, and technical acumen to create an open-source application that leverages Azure solutions with Responsible AI principles. 

What is Responsible AI?

At Microsoft we operationalize Responsible AI principles to ensure systems are developed in a way that warrants our user's trust and safety. We outline 6 key Responsible AI core pillars:

• Fairness - AI systems should treat all people fairly
• Reliability & Safety - AI systems should perform reliably and safely
• Privacy & Security - AI systems should be secure and respect privacy
• Inclusiveness - AI systems should empower everyone and engage people
• Transparency - AI systems should be understandable
• Accountability - People should be accountable for AI systems
