Responsible AI Is The Need Of The Hour
OpenSource For U, Thursday, March 5th, 2026
With hallucinations, bias, opaque decisions, and CO2 costs adding up, AI needs discipline and responsibility built in from the start.
Cases of AI causing real-world harm increased noticeably in 2024-25. Responsible AI has now become a mandatory compliance layer for enterprise stability, moving from 'good practice' to a fundamental design condition.
Global incident trackers, including the AI Incident Database and the OICT Monitor, indicate a marked escalation in AI-related harm. Within a matter of months, incident counts increased from approximately 140,000 to more than 150,000, thereby raising the risk share from around 50 per cent to over 60 per cent.
