Deloitte announces plans to adapt its Trustworthy AI™ framework for CRM to accelerate the Salesforce AI Cloud journey
Deloitte Digital and Salesforce announced a collaboration to provide organizations around the world with the accelerators and strategies they need to deploy trusted AI for CRM. Deloitte Digital will offer its AI services, industry experience, and deep knowledge of data protection to help organizations implement and scale Salesforce AI Cloud, Salesforce’s suite of trusted, open and business-ready generative AI-powered applications. Together, Deloitte Digital and Salesforce will help clients harness the power of AI for CRM to deliver tailored customer experiences, supercharge company productivity and safeguard their data.
Deploying AI for CRM requires a paramount focus on trust and data security. New Salesforce research reveals that 73% of employees perceive generative AI as introducing new security risks, and almost 60% of those intending to use the technology lack knowledge regarding data security measures. Deloitte’s Trustworthy AITM framework highlights six fundamental dimensions for the effective deployment of AI: fairness and impartiality; transparency and explainability; responsibility and accountability; robustness and reliability; privacy preservation; and safety and security, as announced previously.
