ATGO AI | Accountability, Trust, Governance and Oversight of Artificial Intelligence |

OPENBOX aims at bringing an easier understanding of open problems that helps in finding solutions for such problems. For the said purpose, I interview researchers and practitioners who have published works on open problems in a variety of areas of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to collect a simplified understanding of these open problems. These are published as podcast series.

I spoke with Heidi Saas

Heidi is a Data Privacy and Technology Attorney. She regularly advise SMEs and start ups working in a wide variety of industries, on data privacy and ethical AI strategies. She is also a ForHumanity Contributor and algorithmic auditor.

This is part 2. She is speaking about how enterprises can manage the challenges by good governance practices .

Today, we have with us Marie. Marie Potel-Saville is the founder and CEO of amurabi, a legal innovation by design agency. She was a lawyer for over 10 years at Magic Circle law firms such as Freshfields and Allen & Overy in London, Brussels and Paris. She is also the founder of Fair-Patterns, a SAAS platform to fight against dark patterns. She is spearheading efforts towards addressing the challenging problem of deceptive designs in applications using innovative technology. We are going to be discussing some nuances with her on this.

In this episode, Marie speaks about the enterprise approaches in working on fair patterns and the emerging regulatory interests in addressing the gap.

Today, we have with us Patrick Hall. Patrick is a Assistant Professor at George Washington University. He is conducting research in support of the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and a contributor to NIST work on building a Standard for Identifying and Managing Bias in Artificial Intelligence. He is also the collaborator running the open-source initiative called “Awesome Machine Learning Interpretability” which maintains and curates a list of practical and awesome responsible machine learning resources. He is also one of the authors of Machine Learning for High Risk Applications released by O’reilly. He is also managing the AI incident Database.

This is part 2 of the episode

He spoke about key approaches for bias mitigation and the limitations therein. He also discusses the open problems in this area.

Today, we have with us ⁠Upol Ehsan⁠ is a Researcher and Doctoral Candidate in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech and an affiliate at the Data & Society Research Institute. Combining AI, HCI, and philosophy, his work in Explainable AI (XAI) and Responsible AI aims to foster a future where anyone, regardless of their background, can use AI-powered technology with dignity. His work has pioneered the area of⁠ Human-centered Explainable AI⁠ (a sub-field of XAI), receiving multiple awards at ACM CHI, FAccT, and HCII and been covered in major media outlets. By promoting equity and ethics in AI, he wants to ensure stakeholders who aren’t at the table do not end up on the menu. Outside research, he is a founder and advisor for Aalor Asha, an educational institute he started for underprivileged children subjected to child labor. He is also a social entrepreneur and has co-founded DeshLabs, a social innovation lab focused on fostering grassroots innovations in emerging markets.

We discuss the paper titled “Charting the Sociotechnical Gap in Explainable AI: A Framework to Address the Gap in XAI” which It will be presented at CSCW 2023 and was co-authors with Koustuv Saha, Munmun de Choudhury, and Mark Riedl.

Upol explains about specific nuances on why Explainability cannot be considered independent of model development and deployment environment.

This is part 2 of the discussion.
