Making AI an Ally: How “AI Hygiene” Can Fight Bias

Description:

AI has quickly entered our daily lives but is currently growing unchecked and unregulated. It will continue to be a powerful tool to advance our society, but only if it does not perpetuate and mass-produce discrimination and harm to individuals and communities—as well as create legal trouble for organizations that use it. Liabilities, litigation, and regulation are on the horizon and coming faster than you think. Organizations and leaders can prepare by establishing AI oversight and a plan of action to reduce risk, harm, and liability. These precautions, “AI hygiene”, will help companies ensure that AI technologies help instead of harm communities and society as a whole.
