Bias & Ethics

Bias is inherent. Unfortunately, human biases can unknowingly (or otherwise) creep into data collection and algorithm design in AI. It’s crucial for Leaders to proactively identify and mitigate these biases to ensure AI remains fair and ethical. This may involve techniques like using diverse datasets or employing fairness metrics during model development.

This includes assembling a diverse team of developers and ensuring fairness considerations are embedded within every stage of AI creation and deployment. In this topic, we explore ways to identify and address bias in data and algorithms to ensure fair and responsible AI. Leaders operating within clear ethical guidelines foster a sustainable AI environment, one that is conducive to ongoing innovation and responsible deployment of this powerful technology.
