Algorithmic Auditing  

AI and machine learning are entering every aspect of our life. Marketing, autonomous driving, personalization, computer vision, finance, wearables, travel are all benefiting from the advances in AI in the last decade. As more and more AI applications are being deployed in enterprises, concerns are growing about potential "AI accidents" and the misuse of AI. With increased complexity, some are questioning whether the models actually work!  As the debate about fairness, bias, and privacy grow, there is increased attention to understanding how the models work and whether the models are thoroughly tested and designed to address potential issues. 

The area "Responsible AI" is fast emerging and becoming an important aspect of the adoption of machine learning and AI products in the enterprise. Companies are now incorporating formal ethics reviews, model validation exercises, and independent algorithmic auditing to ensure that the adoption of AI is transparent and has gone through formal validation phases.

In this talk, Sri will introduce Algorithmic auditing and discuss why Algorithmic auditing will be a formal process industries using AI will need. Sri will also discuss the emerging risks in the adoption of AI and discuss how QuSandbox, his company is building, will address the emerging needs of formal Algorithmic auditing practices in enterprises. 

All participants will get a copy of QuantUniversity's white paper. "Algorithmic Audit: A checklist for every quant/data scientist"
