Recent regulations in Europe (GDPR) and California (Consumer Privacy Act) have placed concepts like “user control” and “privacy-by-design” at the forefront for companies wanting to deploy ML. The good news is that there are new privacy-preserving tools and techniques – including differential privacy – that are becoming available for both business intelligence and ML applications.

Beyond privacy, data professionals are much more engaged in topics such as fairness, transparency, and explainability in machine learning. Are data sets that are being used for model training representative of the broader population? For certain application domains and settings, transparency and interpretability are essential and regulators may require more transparent models, even at the expense of power and accuracy. More generally, how do companies mitigate risk when using ML?
