BSA releases framework to confront bias in Artificial Intelligence and Calls for Legislation - CRN - India

Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping people achieve incredible outcomes. Whether it's improving healthcare or helping achieve sustainability goals, emerging AI technologies are unlocking innovation and economic growth. As AI is used in ways that will have increasingly consequential impacts on people's lives, there is an urgent need for policymakers and industry leaders to align around best practices for mitigating the potential risks of AI bias. Today, BSA is calling on governments to pass legislation to require private sector companies to perform impact assessments on high-risk uses of AI technologies. To aid governments in this effort, BSA today released Confronting Bias: BSA's Framework to Build Trust in AI. The framework details how organizations can perform impact assessments to identify and then mitigate risks of bias that may emerge throughout an AI system's lifecycle.
