Consequences

Practical Tools for Understanding the Impacts of AI

Careful Consequence Check

A free-to-use canvas for making rapid assessments of potential risks and issues. The Careful Consequence Check isn’t a substitute for a full risk analysis, but an easy-to-complete way of answering the question, “is this okay?” as you embark on designing, purchasing, or rolling out an AI-enabled service, product or feature.

Consequences Workshop

We offer facilitated, deep-dive workshops that help product teams and organisations work through the critical and strategic issues around AI use and adoption, with a focus on building robust plans for mitigations and understanding trade-offs. These sessions are most effective when paired with our AI 101 Impacts training.

Get in touch at hello@careful.industries to find out more about working together.
