Ethical Profile

Mixed.

C3.ai presents a mixed ethical profile. Critics point to its significant defense sector involvement, including a $450 million U.S. Air Force contract for predictive analytics and a partnership with HII for shipbuilding, with reports suggesting 5-10% of revenue from defense. Conversely, its AI platform in healthcare allegedly reduces regulatory submission time by 75% and patient call center resolution time by 15%, while protecting patient data. The company has set a net-zero target for 2050, with interim SBTi-validated goals to cut Scope 1&2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and Scope 3 by 25% by 2035, though its overall environmental impact receives a negative assessment.

3
. There is no evidence of revenue from high-cost financial products, dedicated inclusion programs, or direct impact on customer credit or savings outcomes
4

Consequently, several KPIs related to physical supply chains are scored as N/A. No specific, quantitative data is provided in the articles regarding C3.ai's own ethical clause coverage in supplier contracts or its supplier diversity spend, leading to the omission of these KPIs.
