DEMYSTIFYING AI SYSTEMS
How standards can be applied to develop, manage and procure trustworthy AI systems
AI Ethics & Governance Workshops
This series of workshops will help create awareness and make standards accessible to help deliver ethical, sustainable, and successful IT projects.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
We see that decision-making software such as autonomous vehicles, facial recognition, and automated debt assessment and recovery have serious implications when society is not at the center of design and deployment. How do we use emerging technology safety and avoid the next RoboDebt?
AI systems are already being implemented to enable productivity and competitive gains, exploring the huge opportunities this technology offers. However, most organizations are ill-equipped to navigate the ethical, privacy, or legal risks that developing these systems may entail. While many have developed general AI principles, they lack the tools or the capabilities to apply these to make wise procurement decisions, safety policies, or system designs.
This has motivated thousands of global IEEE Standards Association members to develop ethical and sustainable consensus-based standards for AI and emerging technology since 2015.
