Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) has graduated from science fiction to commoditized widget form, readily able to snap into many processes of daily life. Hence, enterprises of all maturity levels are increasingly eager to explore AI’s roles in their innovation, or outright survival strategies. Concurrently, ethical and responsible development and execution of AI-based solutions will increasingly become critical for purposes of safety and fairness. Ensuring that AI proliferates along the right path will require the infusion of multi-faceted research activities along the entire AI lifecycle. We will discuss the challenges and opportunities regarding this topic in this presentation.

Key Insights

  • Humanizing AI is essential for creating safe and effective AI solutions.

  • AI development often proceeds without comprehensive understanding, leading to real-world failures.

  • 70% of companies report minimal impact from AI projects, highlighting significant deployment challenges.

  • Black box decision-making in AI can undermine trust and hinder understanding.

  • Bias in AI remains a significant issue, often exacerbated by limited non-technical perspectives in development teams.

  • AI governance frameworks need to include diverse roles, including product researchers and AI ethicists.

  • Visualization research can help expose intersectional biases within AI datasets.

  • Automated explainable AI techniques are vital for building trust in AI systems.

  • Multi-faceted research collaboration is necessary across academia and industry to improve AI deployment.

  • Proactive implementation of ML Ops can streamline AI development and enhance accountability.
