TESTING OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

whitePaper | January 28, 2022

Since more and more decisions that used to be made by humans are nowadays made either with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or by AI alone, it is essential that the AI algorithms are “fair.” In this whitepaper, we discuss issues surrounding the fairness of AI applications, with a special focus on how it can be assessed independently and subsequently certified. We explain why an AI application cannot be classified – and subsequently certified – as “fair” or “unfair” in a general sense and propose an approach that makes it possible to classify it as “fair” or “unfair” under the (application)-specific definition of fairness.

IT Operations Management (ITOM) is more important than ever in today’s fast-changing world. It helps IT to ensure availability, maintenance and deployment of hardware, software, services and processes. By providing IT with a single platform for operations management, ITOM is the enabler of speed, agility, complete visibility and rapid problem detection. This maximizes business return from IT investment by cost-effectively achieving optimum IT performance.

Today, there is a real-time, global, tectonic shift in the workplace caused by digital transformation. Accelerated by the Covid pandemic, this digital transformation has created never-seen-before opportunities and significant workplace disruption. Fully realizing the new market opportunities demands a modernized workforce.

The growing diversity of actors and circumstances involved in AI/ML deployment makes establishing a set of ethical participatory practices especially difficult for this field. Even among practitioners working at the same organization, there can be substantial differences in both their knowledge about how AI/ML systems were created or will be used and their ability to incorporate inclusive practices. Additionally, the greater availability of AI development platforms, including “no-code” platforms, means that algorithmic models can be deployed without having deep expertise, expanding the number of circumstances automated systems are deployed in. This means many more instances where automated systems are being deployed without consideration of how the algorithms were developed, the provenance of the datasets and nature of the bias on which they were trained and tested, and the ethical implications of their development and deployment.

In late 2019, then newly elected European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced her intent to make regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) a top priority for Europe. She promised to “put forward legislation for a coordinated European approach on the human and ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence” within her first 100 days in office.
