Avoiding Bias in AI: Across Ethics and Diversity

Description

The applications of AI across industries and public sector are mostly based on the category of algorithms known as deep learning, and how deep-learning algorithms find patterns in data. The simple narrative is the data we feed it is biased and subsequently we have to be careful in applying AI to real life scenarios. The way we frame problems and manage the data becomes crucial and if we add adaptability, localization and social context things become even harder. This expert panel composed of national and international public sector officials, academia and industry researchers will discuss what is the best way, if any, to address this problem and how to move in the right direction.
