The AI Sustainability Center and MetricStream are jointly offering an automated tool for risk scanning of data and AI solutions. We are combining the MetricStream cloud-based governance, risk management, and compliance platform and AISC’s framework for Sustainable AI, thus allowing organizations to effectively gain insights into their use of AI and data-driven solutions and where risks might occur.
Industry professionals, researchers, policymakers and regulators, and
individuals need to be aware of the ethical and social implications of Al. Risks such as privacy intrusion, discrimination, and the proliferation of fake news can result in negative consequences
– intended or unintended – if Al is not governed in a sustainable way.
Unintended ethical breaches are often a result of algorithms using historical data that incorporates bias. Programmers who often lack proper skills and knowledge to understand AI’s broader societal implications can create intended or unintended values. Breaches can also result from immature Al, for example, if algorithms use a training data set which is insufficient or not diverse enough.
Organizations and individuals may rely on being GDPR compliant. But as technology is ahead of regulation, this could lead to a false sense of security. There is a regulatory blind spot.
The AI application/solution could be overly intrusive (using too broad or too deep open data) or it could be used for unintended purposes by others.
Values and bias are intentionally or unintentionally programmed by the creator who may also lack knowledge and skills of how the solution could scale in a broader context.
Insufficient training of algorithms on data sets as well as lack of representative data could lead to incorrect or inappropriate recommendations.
The data available is not an accurate reflection of reality or the preferred reality and may lead to incorrect and unethical recommendations.
