Control machine bias to prevent discriminating against your consumers and damaging your organization.
Onsite Workshop
Unmitigated machine biases:
Are harmful to consumers of your AI-enabled product or service. Such products/services may discriminate against consumers by providing poor quality of service, denying access, or maybe not even recognizing them as customers.
Are enterprise risk: you are exposing the organization to reputational risk, missed business opportunity, and potentially, litigation and regulatory sanctions.
By identifying and mitigating machine biases:
You minimize and control their impact, scope, and associated risks.
You may not be able to fully eradicate machine biases, but you will at least reduce your organization’s exposure and liability while reaping the benefits of AI.
