How global companies communicate ethical AI: Insights from Fortune 500 and Forbes AI 50

Excited to share my new research on how global companies are communicating their commitment to ethical AI through corporate AI ethics statements. Here are three big insights from the analysis of Fortune Global 500 and Forbes AI 50 companies. 🔹  Explainability, safety, justice, privacy, and accountability are the most emphasized ethical AI principles 🔹 Companies overwhelmingly prioritize customers and employees in their AI ethics communication 🔹 Despite rising concerns about “ethics washing,” many organizations are beginning to use substantive, enforceable cues such as governance frameworks, ethics councils, and R&D initiatives to legitimize their AI practices As AI rapidly reshapes business and society, transparent and accountable communication is becoming essential for building trust and legitimacy. Exciting time to contribute to this growing conversation around responsible AI and corporate communication. #AI #AIgovernance #AIEthics #legitimacy #CSR #ethicswashing DePaul University College of Communication PRAD Program
