Lets talk AI.

Increasingly, artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming part and parcel of the projects being executed by our clients. The Future of Privacy Forum published a list of 10 questions to ask. Below are our top 5 questions from that list when undertaking AI/ML projects:

1. Have you quantified sociological bias in your company’s AI/ML training data and model predictions? Is your company aware of how each model affects different demographic customer segments?

2. Does your company audit models for AI/ML-related liabilities before a model is deployed? Are different audit processes applied for different types of models?

3. How many people or organizations does each model potentially impact?

4. How are your organization’s models audited for security or privacy vulnerabilities?

5. Incidents, such as attacks or failures of AI/ML models, can cause substantial harm. Does your company have response plans in place to address AI/ML incidents?
