Yet, according to the FICO report, 78% of companies said they were \u201cpoorly equipped to ensure the ethical implications of using new AI systems,\u201d and only 38% had data bias detection and mitigation steps.<\/p>\n<p>As is usual with disruptive technologies, the speed of AI development has quickly outpaced the speed of regulation. But, in the race to adopt AI, what many companies are starting to realize is that regulators are now catching up. A number of lawsuits have already been leveled against companies for either developing or simply using biased AI algorithms.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Companies_are_feeling_the_heat_of_AI_regulation\"><\/span><strong>Companies are feeling the heat of AI regulation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This year the EU unveiled the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/sites\/default\/files\/1_1_197605_prop_dir_ai_en.pdf\">AI Liability Directive<\/a>, a bill that will make it easier to sue companies for harm caused, part of a wider push to prevent companies from developing and deploying harmful AI. The bill adds an extra layer onto the proposed AI Act, which will require extra checks for \u201chigh-risk\u201d uses of AI, such as in the use of policing, recruitment, or healthcare. Unveiled earlier this month, the bill is likely to become law within the next few years.<\/p>\n<p>While some worry the AI Liability Directive will curb innovation, the purpose is to hold AI companies accountable, and require them to explain how their AI systems are built and trained. Tech companies that fail to comply will risk Europe-wide class actions.<\/p>\n<p>While the US has been slower to adopt protective policies, the White House also released the blueprint for an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/ostp\/ai-bill-of-rights\/\">AI Bill of Rights<\/a> earlier this month which outlines how consumers <em>should<\/em> be protected from harmful AI:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Artificial intelligence should be safe and effective<\/li>\n<li>Algorithms should not discriminate<\/li>\n<li>Data privacy must be protected<\/li>\n<li>Consumers should be aware when AI is being used<\/li>\n<li>Consumers should be able to opt-out of using it, and speak to a human instead<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>But there\u2019s a catch. \u201cIt\u2019s important to realize that the AI Bill of Rights is not binding legislation,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/future-perfect\/23387228\/ai-bill-of-rights-white-house-artificial-intelligence-bias\">writes<\/a> Sigal Samuel, a senior reporter at Vox. \u201cIt\u2019s a set of recommendations that government agencies and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> companies may voluntarily comply with \u2014 or not.

Public trust in AI is waning. A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2021\/06\/16\/experts-doubt-ethical-ai-design-will-be-broadly-adopted-as-the-norm-within-the-next-decade\/\">study<\/a> by Pew Research Center asked 602 tech innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, \u201cBy 2030, will most of the AI systems being used by organizations of all sorts employ ethical principles focused primarily on the public good?\u201d 68% didn\u2019t think so.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not a business loses a legal battle over allegations of biased AI, the impact that incidents like this can have on a company\u2019s reputation can be just as damaging.<\/p>\n<p>While this puts a dreary light on the future of AI, all is not lost. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/watson\/resources\/ai-adoption\">IBM\u2019s Global AI Adoption Index found<\/a> that 85% of IT professionals agree that consumers are more likely to choose a company that\u2019s transparent about how its AI models are built, managed, and used.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses that take the steps to adopt ethical AI practices could reap the rewards. So why are so many slow to take the plunge?<\/p>\n<p>The problem may be that, while many companies want to adopt ethical AI practices, many don\u2019t know where to start. We spoke with Priya Krishnan, who leads the Data and AI product management team at IBM, to find out how building a strong AI governance model can help.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_governance\"><\/span><strong>AI governance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/analytics\/common\/smartpapers\/ai-governance-smartpaper\/#ai-governance-delivers\">According to IBM<\/a>, \u201cAI governance is the process of defining policies and establishing accountability to guide the creation and deployment of AI systems in an organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore governance, people were moving straight from experiments to production in AI,\u201d says Krishnan. \u201cBut then they realized, \u2018well, wait a minute, this is not the decision I expect the system to make. Why is this h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ening?\u2019 They couldn\u2019t explain why the AI was making certain decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AI governance is really about making sure that companies are aware of what their algorithms are doing \u2014\u00a0and have the documentation to back it up. This means tracking and recording how an algorithm is trained, the parameters used in the training, and any metrics used during the testing phases.<\/p>\n<p>Having this in place makes it easy for companies to both understand what\u2019s going on beneath the surface of their AI systems and allows them to easily pull documentation in the case of an audit. Krishnan pointed out that this transparency also helps to break down knowledge silos within a company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a data scientist leaves the company and you don\u2019t have the past information plugged into this hook in processes, it\u2019s very hard to manage. Those looking into the system won\u2019t know what happened. So this process of documentation just provides basic sanity around what\u2019s going on and makes it easier to explain it to other departments within the organization (like risk managers).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While regulations are still being developed, adopting AI governance now is an important step to what Krishnan refers to as \u201cfuture-proofing\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Regulations are] coming fast and strong. Now people are producing manual documents for auditing purposes after the fact,\u201d she says. Instead, starting to document now can help companies prepare for any upcoming regulations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_innovation_vs_governance_debate\"><\/span><strong>The innovation vs governance debate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Companies may face increasing competition to innovate fast and be first to market. So won\u2019t taking the time for AI governance slow down this process and stifle innovation?<\/p>\n<p>Krishnan makes the argument that AI governance no more stops innovation than brakes stop someone from being able to drive:\u00a0\u201cThere is traction control in a car, there are brakes in a car. All of these are designed to make you go faster, safely. That\u2019s how I would think about AI governance. It\u2019s really to get the most value from your AI, while making sure there are guardrails to help you as you innovate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And this lines up with the biggest reason of all to adopt AI governance: it just makes business sense. No one wants faulty products and services. Setting clear and transparent documentation standards, checkpoints, and internal review processes to mitigate bias can ultimately help businesses create better products and improve speed to market.<\/p>\n<p>Still not sure where to start?<\/p>\n<p>Just this month the tech giant launched <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/cloud\/blog\/announcements\/introducing-ibm-ai-governance\">IBM AI Governance<\/a>, a one-stop solution for companies struggling to get a better understanding of what\u2019s going on below the surface of these systems. The tool uses automated software to work with companies\u2019 data science platform to develop a consistent and transparent algorithmic model management process, while tracking dev time, metadata, post-deployment monitoring, and customized workflows. This helps take the pressure off of data science teams, allowing them to focus on other tasks. The tool also helps business leaders to always have a view of their models, and supports the appropriate documentation in case of audit.<\/p>\n<p>This is a particularly good option for companies that are using AI across the organization and don\u2019t know what to focus on first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore you buy a car, you want to try it out. At IBM, we invested in a team of engineers that help our clients take AI governance for a test drive to help them get started. In just weeks, the IBM Client Engineering team can help teams innovate with the latest AI Governance technology and approaches using their business models and data. It\u2019s an investment in our clients to quickly co-create using IBM technology so they can get started quickly,\u201d Krishnan says.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
