The Open Loop India program, a collaborative effort between The Dialogue, Meta and ArtEZ University of the Arts, set out to develop a stakeholder engagement framework aimed at operationalizing human-centered AI. Engaging with 12 Indian AI startups, the program tested a prototype and gathered crucial feedback to explore how stakeholder engagement throughout the AI lifecycle impacts the implementation of human-centered AI.
Deployment Period: January – August 2023
Executive Summary
Authored by experts from The Dialogue, Open Loop India, and Meta, this report unveils the findings and recommendations from the Open Loop India program. The program delved into understanding:
- Policy Prototype Effectiveness: How well does the prototype balance policy clarity, technical feasibility, and effectiveness for its intended audience?
- Stakeholder Engagement: How do Indian start-ups perceive and interact with AI actors and stakeholders throughout the AI lifecycle?
- Challenges and Pain Points: What are the main challenges faced by start-ups in mapping and engaging with stakeholders in the context of human-centered AI?
- Best Practices: What strategies contribute to successful stakeholder engagement and human-centered AI implementation as part of broader risk-management efforts?
