Framework, Standards, Applications and Best practices of Responsible AI : A Comprehensive Survey

Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) is a combination of ethics associated with the usage of artificial intelligence aligned with the common and standard frameworks. This survey paper extensively discusses the global and national standards, applications of RAI, current technology and ongoing projects using RAI, and possible challenges in implementing and designing RAI in the industries and projects based on AI. Currently, ethical standards and implementation of RAI are decoupled which caters each industry to follow their own standards to use AI ethically. Many global firms and government organizations are taking necessary initiatives to design a common and standard framework. Social pressure and unethical way of using AI forces the RAI design rather than implementation.

XAI for Cybersecurity: State of the Art, Challenges, Open Issues and Future Directions

In the past few years, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been implemented in almost all verticals of human life. However, the results generated from the AI models often lag explainability. AI models often appear as a blackbox wherein developers are unable to explain or trace back the reasoning behind a specific decision. Explainable AI (XAI) is a rapid growing field of research which helps to extract information and also visualize the results generated with an optimum transparency. The present study provides and extensive review of the use of XAI in cybersecurity. Cybersecurity enables protection of systems, networks and programs from different types of attacks. The use of XAI has immense potential in predicting such attacks. The paper provides a brief overview on cybersecurity and the various forms of attack. Then the use of traditional AI techniques and its associated challenges are discussed which opens its doors towards use of XAI in various applications. The XAI implementations of various research projects and industry are also presented. Finally, the lessons learnt from these applications are highlighted which act as a guide for future scope of research.
