• Abstract: Responsible AI (RAI) is the science and the practice of making the design, development, and use of AI socially sustainable: of reaping the benefits of innovation while controlling the risks. Naturally, industry practitioners play a decisive role in our collective ability to achieve the goals of RAI. Unfortunately, we do not yet have consolidated educational materials and effective methodologies for teaching RAI to practitioners. In this paper, we propose a novel stakeholder-first educational approach that uses interactive case studies to achieve organizational and practitioner -level engagement and advance learning of RAI. We discuss a partnership with Meta, an international technology company, to co-develop and deliver RAI workshops to a diverse audience within the company. Our assessment results indicate that participants found the workshops engaging and reported a positive shift in understanding and motivation to apply RAI to their work.

• Achieving Responsible AI through ESG: Insights and Recommendations from Industry Engagement [15.544366555353262]
  This study examines how leading companies align Responsible AI (RAI) with their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. We identify a strong link between RAI and ESG practices, but a significant gap exists between internal RAI policies and public disclosures. We provide recommendations to strengthen RAI strategies, focusing on transparency, cross-functional collaboration, and seamless integration into existing ESG frameworks.

• Do Responsible AI Artifacts Advance Stakeholder Goals? Four Key Barriers Perceived by Legal and Civil Stakeholders [59.17981603969404]
  The responsible AI (RAI) community has introduced numerous processes and artifacts to facilitate transparency and support the governance of AI systems. We conduct semi-structured interviews with 19 government, legal, and civil society stakeholders who inform policy and advocacy around responsible AI efforts. We organize these beliefs into four barriers that help explain how RAI artifacts may (inadvertently) reconfigure power relations across civil society, government, and industry.

Top-down and bottom-up institutional structures create burden for different roles preventing them from upholding RAI values. We recommend recommendations for inclusive and equitable RAI value-practices.
