Location: Register via Zoom

Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence impacts modern life every day.  Applying for a loan, contacting your utility company, or driving a newer model car means interacting with AI.  Each day AI transforms the way we live and interact with each other.  

As data scientists, we create AI.  The power to develop AI comes with a tremendous responsibility to ensure that our AI processes meet the goals of our organizations and the values of society.  The AI we create impacts real people living real lives.  

There is no single, simple way to make ethical AI processes.  There are, however, a few tools in the toolbox that enable data scientists to create AI that is fair, transparent, and trustworthy.  This presentation is about these tools.
