The Responsible AI (RAI) Toolkit is a self-evaluation resource that helps teams assess their AI projects at any stage of development, ensuring alignment with DoD AI Ethical Principles and responsible AI best practices while fostering innovation.

​

Through operationalizing the DoD AI Ethical Principles, and by offering practical guidance and tools to identify and address potential risks and ethical considerations throughout the AI product lifecycle, the Toolkit provides end users assurance in their AI products’ efficacy.

​

The Toolkit supports collaborative assessment by diverse users, including Program Managers, AI Developers, Acquisition Teams,

Legal/Compliance, and End Users, to ensure solutions meet performance goals and risk tolerance. It is accessible in both IL2 and IL5 environments for varying security needs.

​

As a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), this version of the Toolkit will be continuously updated by the CDAO to reflect advancements in the field and user feedback.

​

Disclaimer: “This solution is in continuous development, and CDAO will leverage feedback to learn, grow and accelerate responsible adoption of AI within the Department of Defense.”
