The project teams need to create and continuously update documentations for the key artifacts of AI systems that may lead to ethical issues, such as data and models. Continuous documentation using templates helps track the evolution of artifacts and clarify the context in which AI systems are trustworthy
Google’s Model Cards71 enables transparent model reporting on model provenance and ethical evaluation [81, 119]. Microsoft’s datasheets for datasets72 tool allows every dataset to be accompanied with a datasheet document [41]. IBM’s AI service FactSheets73 maintains AI services’ performance, safety, security, and provenance information [9]. Meta’s method cards provide prescriptive model specification templates that provide guidance on how to mitigate potential issues
Reasoning
Documentation templates establish design standards governing how teams record AI artifact provenance and ethical evaluation throughout development.
Governance Patterns
The governance for RAI systems can be defined as the structures and processes that are employed to ensure that the development and use of AI systems meet AI ethics principles. According to the structure of Shneiderman [104], governance can be built at three levels: industry level, organization level, and team level.
2.1 Oversight & AccountabilityGovernance Patterns > Industry-level governance patterns
3.1 Legal & RegulatoryGovernance Patterns > Organization-level governance patterns
2.1 Oversight & AccountabilityGovernance Patterns > Team-level governance patterns
2.1.2 Roles & AccountabilityProcess Patterns
The process patterns are reusable methods and best practices that can be used by the development team during the development process.

2.4 Engineering & DevelopmentResponsible AI Pattern Catalogue: A Collection of Best Practices for AI Governance and Engineering
Lu, Qinghua; Zhu, Liming; Xu, Xiwei; Whittle, Jon; Zowghi, Didar; Jacquet, Aurelie (2024)
Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) is widely considered as one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time and is key to increase the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Recently, a number of AI ethics principles frameworks have been published. However, without further guidance on best practices, practitioners are left with nothing much beyond truisms. In addition, significant efforts have been placed at algorithm level rather than system level, mainly focusing on a subset of mathematics-amenable ethical principles, such as fairness. Nevertheless, ethical issues can arise at any step of the development lifecycle, cutting across many AI and non-AI components of systems beyond AI algorithms and models. To operationalize RAI from a system perspective, in this article, we present an RAI Pattern Catalogue based on the results of a multivocal literature review. Rather than staying at the principle or algorithm level, we focus on patterns that AI system stakeholders can undertake in practice to ensure that the developed AI systems are responsible throughout the entire governance and engineering lifecycle. The RAI Pattern Catalogue classifies the patterns into three groups: multi-level governance patterns, trustworthy process patterns, and RAI-by-design product patterns. These patterns provide systematic and actionable guidance for stakeholders to implement RAI. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
