HCLTech has recently informed exchanges that the company signed the European Commission’s AI Pact, a voluntary initiative that encourages organizations to adopt responsible AI practices ahead of the full enforcement of the EU’s AI Act. The AI Pact promotes ethical development and use of artificial intelligence, emphasizing safety, transparency, and human oversight in its application. HCLTech’s participation in the pact reflects its alignment with these principles and its intent to prepare for future regulatory compliance.
As part of this commitment, HCLTech is working to integrate a structured AI governance strategy across its operations. This includes identifying AI systems within the organization that may fall under the high-risk category as outlined in the forthcoming EU legislation. The company is also focused on increasing internal awareness of responsible AI, fostering understanding and accountability among its employees.
To support the implementation of ethical AI practices, HCLTech has established an Office of Responsible AI and Governance. This dedicated unit is responsible for ensuring that AI technologies used or developed by the company meet established standards for fairness, privacy, security, and transparency. Through this initiative, HCLTech aims to support the safe and responsible use of AI both within its own operations and in solutions delivered to clients.
