ADVANCING TRUST
BETWEEN HUMANS AND MACHINES
We believe that everyone who is impacted by an artificial intelligence (AI) solution recommendation deserves to be treated fairly and equally.
​
We were propelled into action by the stories of the disadvantaged, missed opportunities, and perpetuated biases.
The AI solutions are here to stay.
The accidental flaws need not be.
AI TRUSTWORTHINESS
Inability to easily determine trustworthiness of an AI solution is a monumental problem impacting all levels of our society.
We have all already witnessed a large number of instances where non-trustworthy AI solutions have led to many unintended - and sometimes deadly - consequences, such as discrimination (race, age, gender) and spread of disinformation.
​
As AI gets deployed at large scale, these issues, if unchecked, will only get amplified, leading to lawsuits, regulatory fines, dissatisfied customers, reputation damage, and erosion of shareholder value.
​
Academics, policy makers, and governments across the globe are increasingly recognizing the importance of AI Trustworthiness. It is imperative for all organizations creating, using, investing in, or regulating AI solutions to adopt and enforce AI Trustworthiness principles without delay.
