A Self-assessment Tool to Encourage the Uptake of Artificial Intelligence in Digital Workspaces

Abstract

To encourage the uptake of AI in industrial use cases, tools are required to support the engineering process throughout the life cycle of the AI application that is central to the use cases. Providing guidance on using AI in industrial setups is vital for creating trustworthy, reliable, and ethically compliant AI-based solutions. The related standardization landscape and available guideline repositories are large, scattered over the web, change rapidly, and are hard to keep up with. This limits the access and ease of use of these standards and guidelines. To address these limitations, we propose developing a self-assessment tool, empowered through AI algorithms and models such as Large Language Models, to improve the process of accessing and benefiting from those standards and guidelines. This self-assessment tool will support various user groups while engineering their applications by identifying the most applicable guidelines according to the individual attributes of the specific user group. We argue that modeling specific attributes and mapping appropriate controls for self-assessments could be achieved by applying AI-based technologies. This paper outlines our ongoing efforts concerning the suggested supporting tools, offering a human-centric methodology. Additionally, we present initial results demonstrating how the needs of a particular user group can be accurately modeled. The results of this study will be used for applications that are deploying AI in an industrial setting with the objective of enabling the two most important goals of Industry 5.0, which are the well-being of workers at the center of the production process, and sustainable and resilient industries.
