Part III: What do corporates feel about innovation in AI?

John Miranda, Market Insights Manager at Intel Corporation focused on the aspect of ethics and trust in AI as companies are adapting to change, “As AI begins to impact our lives with use cases such as making credit decisions to recommending clinical treatment attention has been shifting towards the ethics of AI systems. Our chief concern is that widely noted deep learning algorithms, by their very design lack transparency, and will absorb unintended biases found in training data. Regulatory bodies are emerging globally to address the ethical use of AI as acceptable practices and legal frameworks emerge, however it is early days for solutions. In response, companies are forming internal and industry bodies that help shape corporate policy in this area.”
