Prosegur Security has launched what it called a company-wide Responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy in an effort to proactively decrease risks associated with AI use.
The policy, which the company said is an industry-first, will serve as a guideline for the ethical, moral, regulatory and security values applied to technological solutions that incorporate AI. It will also be adopted globally in all countries where Prosegur operates and will be a requirement for all partners.
“Setting a framework for responsible AI is not just ideal, but it is necessary for today’s security landscape,” said John Navarro, the firm’s global president of technology solutions.
“Prosegur is leading the charge by ensuring responsible AI through our new policy, and by setting expectations for our employees and partners to uphold a defined set of standards.”
In order to comply with AI requirements, Prosegur has developed an AI governance model that includes the implementation of a corporate or local board, depending on where the project is located.
In addition, the company said it will hire a chief ethics officer, who will oversee compliance with the new policy and ensure responsible AI is implemented with new technologies.
