1. Purpose

ContraForce is committed to the responsible development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This policy outlines our principles and practices for ensuring that AI systems are ethical, transparent, fair, and aligned with our core values and societal expectations.

2. Scope

This policy applies to all employees, contractors, vendors, and partners involved in the design, development, deployment, and management of AI systems across ContraForce.

3. Principles of Responsible AI

3.1 Transparency and Explainability

AI systems should be understandable to users and stakeholders. We will:

• Provide clear documentation on AI models, data sources, and decision-making processes.

• Use interpretable models when appropriate or provide post-hoc explanations for complex systems.

• Communicate limitations, intended use cases, and risks clearly.

3.2. Accountability

We recognize that accountability lies with people, not machines. We will:

• Define clear roles and responsibilities for AI lifecycle governance.

• Maintain audit trails for key AI system decisions and updates.

• Ensure human oversight is maintained where appropriate.

3.3. Privacy and Data Protection

Data used in AI systems must respect privacy rights and legal standards. We will:

• Ensure compliance with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).

• Use de-identification or anonymization where possible.

• Inform individuals about data use in AI applications and obtain consent where required.

3.4. Safety and Security

AI systems must be safe and secure throughout their lifecycle. We will:

• Conduct risk assessments and adversarial testing.

• Monitor AI systems for unintended behavior or degradation.

• Implement security controls to protect models and data from misuse or attacks.

3.5. Sustainability

We recognize the environmental impact of AI and strive to:

• Optimize resource usage during model training and deployment.

• Favor energy-efficient architectures and infrastructure.

4. Governance and Oversight

• Regular audits will be conducted to ensure policy compliance and identify areas for improvement.

5. Training and Awareness

We will provide mandatory training for all employees involved in AI-related work to ensure understanding of this policy and core Responsible AI principles.

6. Reporting and Redress

We encourage internal and external stakeholders to report AI-related concerns. A formal grievance mechanism is in place, and whistleblowers are protected from retaliation.

7. Review and Updates

This policy will be reviewed annually or in response to significant legal, technological, or organizational changes.
