Trust is the currency of successful AI adoption; without it, even the most accurate models risk rejection. This talk will focus on how to operationalize responsible AI deployment practices that embed trust, transparency, and accountability from day one. Using a case study in healthcare AI evaluation, we will walk through practical techniques: secure key management, explainable AI outputs, multi-metric evaluation frameworks, and mechanisms for stakeholder feedback integration. Beyond technical implementation, we will examine how ethical guardrails and clear governance structures transform AI from experimental models into systems people can rely on.
