Description

As companies commercialize novel applications of AI in areas such as finance, hiring, and public policy, there’s concern that these automated decision-making systems may unconsciously duplicate social biases, with unintended societal consequences. Drawing on her legal and engineering experience working for and with companies engaging in AI innovation, Laila Paszti shares practical advice for companies to counteract such prejudices through a legal- and ethics-based approach to innovation.

Topics include:

  • The key principles for responsible innovation
  • Integrating ethical training and awareness within organizations
  • The importance of identifying data bias
  • Designing algorithms to address bias and, potentially, reduce it in some cases
  • Algorithmic accountability
