Validate Data Fairness and Privacy for Responsible AI
November 24, 2022
What is unique about machine learning and AI compared to traditional rules-based systems? Well, amongst various things, a key point is that AI learns from a training dataset instead of explicitly being coded with rules to follow. There is a huge focus on Responsible AI (aka Ethical or Trustworthy AI) – and rightly so. However, […]
Explainable AI is important – but alone it is not the solution
September 16, 2022
Business leaders are starting to realize that, when building AI or machine learning solutions, we need more transparency in the process. It’s no longer OK to just seek the best accuracy when building these systems. Unfortunately, many AI business processes still do primarily focus on performance – and there are many models already in production […]
Is Governance Stifling AI?
July 7, 2022
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming prevalent across all business sectors. Whilst the big headlines focus on use cases like self-driving cars and digital assistants such as Alexa, most of the time AI technologies are used to automate human decision making in less flashy scenarios. Your credit card or mortgage application is likely reviewed by an […]

Sensitive attributes & hidden bias; assessing the fairness of your AI model needs transparent data
October 22, 2020
Assessing the fairness of an AI model is a critical, yet challenging task that should involve business process, human judgement, and transparent data on the behaviour of the AI model. When any AI model is built using personal data, it is important (and legally required in most jurisdictions) that is does not unfairly discriminate. This […]
Managing AI Risks. Multiple Stakeholders Need Access to the Right Data and Insights
September 30, 2020
In a guest post on insideBIGDATA I wrote: “There is no doubt that AI is exploding across businesses, and it is not just with the moon shots that make news headlines. Due to the speed and scale at which AI can operate, it is being used across the critical operations and decision making in everyday […]
Assessing the Fairness of an AI model
July 9, 2020
AI models can achieve very high accuracy (this is particularly true with contemporary deep learning methods) and can churn through data at a much higher rate than is possible with humans. This has led to their deployment in decision making systems across various industries. In general, these systems are trained (that is, taught how to […]
AI regulation is coming: Are you ready?
May 22, 2020
Are you ready? Governments and regulators now have well established regulations in place for managing data including the security and privacy implications associated with these. However, as AI is now being regularly deployed within organisations, countries around the world are looking at how it should be regulated. Some regulation builds upon (or is inherent within) […]
Addressing bias in AI needs Explainability; you can’t fix what you can’t see
April 14, 2020
Contemporary machine learning systems are different from traditional rules-based systems. With these traditional systems a series of rules were written that matched up with the desired operation of the system. In machine learning, the system learns how to make decisions from the data that is presented to it. Whilst this has many advantages, a very […]
Enterprise XAI: Ensuring success within an Enterprise environment
March 31, 2020
Explainability within Enterprise AI is critical, whether this is to comply with regulation such as the GDPR, for auditing your AI systems, for feeding back to customers, for getting buy-in from internal teams and boardrooms or actioning on the decisions made by the AI. This message is becoming very apparent, but how does this high-level […]
