Description: Joint responsibility in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the shared obligation among all stakeholders involved in the development, implementation, and use of AI technologies. This includes developers, companies, regulators, users, and society at large. The central idea is that each of these actors has a role to play in ensuring that AI is used ethically and fairly, minimizing biases and avoiding harm. Joint responsibility entails a collaborative approach that fosters transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in decision-making processes. This concept is crucial at a time when AI significantly impacts various areas, from healthcare to criminal justice, and where algorithmic decisions can perpetuate existing inequalities. By recognizing that responsibility does not rest solely on one actor, a more ethical and accountable environment for AI use is promoted, where the focus is not only on efficiency but also on social well-being and equity.
