Description

In an age of increasing regulation, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), data-driven organizations must adapt data processing techniques to ensure compliance. Under GDPR, automated decision-making technologies such as machine learning have been targeted for special processes and restrictions that, without the proper context, can lead an organization to avoid implementing these powerful and transformational tools.

Michael Gregory explores the background of GDPR and its specific relation to machine learning restrictions and explains how mature, data-driven organizations can ensure their ability to leverage ML through the important combination of a modern, secure, and governed data platform and emerging tools and techniques for the interpretable design of machine learning systems.
