Overview of RAI Activities Throughout the Product Life Cycle

RAI Tools List

Below is the RAI Tools List which contains ~70 open-source, industry-standard tools for accomplishing various RAI-related activities. These tools serve as illustrations of the kinds of tools that should be used to address the particular activities to which they were linked in the SHIELD Assessment. Many of these tools will be replaced by tools developed (or acquired) by the DoD RAI team or the RAI Working Council. For the non-DoD, open-source tools listed here, the inclusion of these open-source tools in the RAI Tools List should not be seen as an endorsement or approval of their use; DoD personnel should still go through normal approval processes before using them.

Tools that are being developed or acquired for the DoD will be indicated with a red subtitle in it’s description, such as: “[In development for the DoD].”

DISCLAIMER: THE TOOLS INCLUDED IN THIS TOOLKIT ARE A GUIDE INTENDED TO BE ILLUSTRATIVE TO DEVELOPERS AND USERS SEEKING TO ADDRESS RAI CONCERNS. THE LIST IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE. IMPORTANTLY, THE INCLUSION OF A TOOL ON THIS LIST DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN ENDORSEMENT OR APPROVAL OF ANY LISTED TOOL BY CDAO, the DOD, or the US GOVERNMENT.
