Responsible AI and Scalable Data Architectures: Challenges and Best Practices
Abstract
The proliferation of AI across industries — in finance and health care and retail, and logistics — has made it imperative to have systems that are not just scalable and efficient, but also ethical and accountable. In this paper, we review the intersection between Responsible AI (RAI) and scalable data architectures, discussing seminal research contributions, software coding approaches, and empirical benchmarks. We present a multi-layered ethical AI stack and show how fairness, transparency, privacy, and governance can be implemented in distributed, high-throughput settings. Finally, the review provides prospective views into emerging technologies, regulatory landscapes and interdisciplinary interactions that will change how AI systems will be designed and built to ensure trust and resilience in the future.
