Accuracy and Ethics in AI Workshop
Slater Victoroff, Founder and CTO, Indico
Weds., Sept. 18, 2019; 12:50-1:45 pm
Over the past decade AI has continued its steady march of progress. Near-human accuracy has been achieved on a wide variety of tasks from object recognition to natural language understanding, to machine translation. However, these advances have not come without cost. As organizations continue to adopt AI at ever-accelerating rates, we can either learn from history or condemn ourselves to repeat it. This session will explore exactly why even the most technically advanced organizations on the planet struggle with these issues. In a set of short lectures and hands-on exercises, attendees will learn to use a basic set of tools that can help to pre-emptively identify and avoid these and other ethical concerns. Topics covered include proper experimental setup, appropriate benchmarking, human-in-the-loop processes, and encoded biases.
