Accountability

Being able to identify who is responsible for the actions and impacts of an AI system.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Accountability in AI refers to the ability to attribute responsibility for the decisions, actions, and impacts of an artificial intelligence system to specific human actors or organizations, ensuring mechanisms for redress and oversight are in place.

BACKGROUND

A large language model (LLM) is a neural network trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate, and analyze text in many contexts, and are a foundational technology behind modern chatbots. Biased or inaccurate training data can make an LLM's output less reliable.
