Responsible AI Principles through Stakeholder Engagement
The Open Loop India program was a collaborative effort between Meta, ArtEZ University of the Arts and The Dialogue, to develop a stakeholder engagement framework that operationalizes the principle of human-centered AI. The program involved working with a group of 12 Indian companies that use AI to test the prototype and provide feedback. The overarching goal was to provide evidence on the role of stakeholder engagement across the AI lifecycle for informing company implementation of human-centered AI.

INDIA | 2024
This report presents the findings and recommendations of the first Open Loop India program launched in January 2023, focusing on the operationalization of the principle of human-centered AI through stakeholder engagement strategies.
PROGRAM DETAILS
Main Findings & Recommendations
The program’s outcomes resulted in several notable recommendations for policymakers, companies, and investors, to support stakeholder engagement across the AI lifecycle for informing company implementation of human-centered AI. Recommendations to policymakers include:
Developing guidance on stakeholder engagement for AI actors, focusing on the entire AI lifecycle. Guidance should be voluntary, accounting for the nuances across sectors, AI use cases, and risk profiles.
Promoting interoperability and synergies by designing guidance for AI stakeholder engagement that integrates with other key AI risk management frameworks and standards.
Catalyzing capacity building and knowledge sharing by establishing dedicated innovation funds and non-monetary benefits for companies that demonstrate a commitment to stakeholder engagement proactively, and by building a vibrant ecosystem for continuous learning.
Ensuring accountability and ecosystem enablers by proactively leading by example in stakeholder engagement in public AI initiatives.

Competition in AI Foundation Models
Meta’s Open Loop program launched its first policy prototyping program in the United Kingdom in September 2024, focused on understanding the current AI foundation model market and drivers or barriers to competition, as well as on the effective development and awareness of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) AI principles.
Policy Anonymization in India
Meta’s Open Loop launched its second program in India in July 2025. The focus is on supporting Indian companies to make efficient use of anonymization techniques and other privacy-enhancing technologies to effectively anonymize data as they innovate with new technologies, particularly generative AI. Through the program we will explore what complementary practical guidance in this area might look like in the context of the DPDPA and Draft Rules.
Generative AI Risk Management
Meta’s Open Loop launched its first policy prototyping research program in the United States in late 2023, focused on testing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) 1.0. This program gave participating companies the opportunity to learn about NIST's AI RMF and subsequent “Generative AI Profile” (NIST AI 600-1), and to understand how this guidance can be applied to developing and deploying generative AI systems. At the same time, the program gathered evidence on current practices and provided valuable insights and feedback to NIST, which can inform future iterations of the RMF and Gen AI profile.
Artificial Intelligence Act
Launched in September 2020, the EU AI Act program is the largest policy prototyping initiative to date, engaging over 60 participants from more than 50 companies developing AI and ML products.
Privacy-Enhancing Technologies
The Open Loop Brazil program was launched in tandem with a twin policy prototyping program in Uruguay in September 2022, with the aim of guiding and enabling companies in Brazil to leverage and apply privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to help deidentify data and mitigate privacy-related risks.
AI Transparency & Explainability
The AI Transparency & Explainability: Mexico program was launched in February 2021. It was a collaborative effort between Meta, C Minds, and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to develop a governance framework and practical playbook for transparency and explainability (T&E) in AI systems.
AI Impact Assessment
This program was launched in September 2020. It aimed to develop and test a risk assessment framework, called ADIA (Automated Decision Impact Assessment), for AI applications deployed in Europe.
AI Transparency & Explainability
The Transparency & Explainability program in Mexico aimed to develop a governance framework and a practical playbook for transparency & explainability in AI systems and to strengthen responsible AI in Mexico by promoting transparency and explainability practices.

Privacy-Enhancing Technologies
The Open Loop Uruguay program was launched in September 2022, in tandem with a twin policy prototyping program in Brazil, with the aim of guiding and enabling companies in Uruguay to leverage and select privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to help de-identify data and mitigate privacy-related risks.
