RAIL Framework

Understanding the 8 dimensions of Responsible AI that power RAIL evaluations.

What is RAIL?

RAIL (Responsible AI Labs) is a comprehensive framework for evaluating AI content across 8 critical dimensions. Each dimension represents a key aspect of responsible AI development and deployment.

Why 8 Dimensions?

Responsible AI isn't just about one aspect like safety or fairness. Our framework evaluates content holistically across all critical dimensions to ensure comprehensive responsibility.

How Scoring Works

Each dimension is scored from 1 to 10, where higher scores indicate better performance:

1 - 5
Poor
Significant issues detected
5 - 7.5
Fair
Room for improvement
7.5 - 10
Good
Meets responsible AI standards

Overall RAIL Score

The overall RAIL score is calculated as the weighted sum of all 8 dimensions. By default, all dimensions are weighted equally, but you can customize weights based on your use case. The overall score also ranges from 1 to 10.
