Are We Ready for AI?
Another topic that is related to fostering greater awareness is AI readiness. Becoming AI-ready means seeing the true business value AI and ML bring and addressing both ethical aspects and biases in the data when they come up. Addressing the latter requires the collaboration between data scientists, respective experts in the field and social as well as psychological scientists. This can help to spot data biases caused by human judgments and preferences and also support the assessment of data quality.
In AI We Trust?
While these are improvements that are already underway, Aishwarya’s biggest aspiration moving into the future is to improve the trade-off between data utility, i.e. building better solutions, and data privacy, which pertains to the collection of data with the goal of building better systems. This conversation inevitably ties into fostering trust in AI. Aishwarya observes that cloud providers are currently making the first steps in the right direction in this area. Her biggest aspiration for the future, however, goes far beyond the corporate and public discussion of AI and involves producing a lasting impact in the world.
