contents Translational research, especially in the fast-evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is key to converting scientific findings into practical innovations. In Responsible AI (RAI) research, translational impact is often viewed through various pathways, including research papers, blogs, news articles, and the drafting of forthcoming AI legislation (e.g., the EU AI Act). However, the real-world impact of RAI research remains an underexplored area. Our study aims to capture it through two pathways: \emph{patents} and \emph{code repositories}, both of which provide a rich and structured source of data. Using a dataset of 200,000 papers from 1980 to 2022 in AI and related fields, including Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Human-Computer Interaction, we developed a Sentence-Transformers Deep Learning framework to identify RAI papers. This framework calculates the semantic similarity between paper abstracts and a set of RAI keywords, which are derived from the NIST's AI Risk Management Framework; a framework that aims to enhance trustworthiness considerations in the design, development, use, and evaluation of AI products, services, and systems. We identified 1,747 RAI papers published in top venues such as CHI, CSCW, NeurIPS, FAccT, and AIES between 2015 and 2022. By analyzing these papers, we found that a small subset that goes into patents or repositories is highly cited, with the translational process taking between 1 year for repositories and up to 8 years for patents. Interestingly, impactful RAI research is not limited to top U.S. institutions, but significant contributions come from European and Asian institutions. Finally, the multidisciplinary nature of RAI papers, often incorporating knowledge from diverse fields of expertise, was evident as these papers tend to build on unconventional combinations of prior knowledge.
