Description

AI has changed the world as we know it - sparking change across all industries. While AI solves many problems - it also creates new ones. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming an integral part of many organizations. When analyzing sales data, exploring market trends, designing schedules, or optimizing customer interactions computational algorithms have come to a point where they outperform humans. AI has changed the world as we know it - sparking change across all industries. While AI solves many problems - it also creates new ones. Concerns with AI are arising around fairness, privacy, bias-detection, transparency, accountability, and explain ability. Entrepreneurs, executives, and technical leaders who rely on AI to make critical decisions and accelerate operations need to ask themselves if they understand what AI is doing, if it is making accurate, bias-aware decisions, if it is respecting everyone’s privacy, and more. We invited a diverse set of speakers from academia and industry to explore what responsible AI is, why it is important, and what the essentials of Responsible AI are. Ventech, formerly MIT Enterprise Forum, hosts the region’s top business and technology events.
