Responsible AI Principles

Reviewed 9 April 2026 Canonical definition

Responsible AI principles are the ethical commitments an organisation makes about how it will develop and deploy AI systems — covering values such as fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy, and safety. Principles provide the normative foundation for AI governance: they define what the organisation is trying to achieve, and governance controls are the mechanisms that make those commitments enforceable in practice.
