Responsible AI: The Human-Machine Symbiosis

That moment helped plant the seeds for the era of big data in which we live today, and it marked a critical cultural turning point that suggested a machine could outsmart a human after all. While Kasparov initially expressed cynicism regarding the computer's methods and its intelligence, he has more recently changed his tune, crediting the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advocating for a symbiotic relationship between humans and machines. "At the end of the day," he argued, "it is for us to even explain when something is successful. It is still for us to define success and machines to perform their duty" – underscoring the significance of our human role in defining and creating the knowledge base, the logic, and the authority that we empower our AI systems to wield. What does this mean for those of us who create AI systems, in the era of big data, and in an era where consumers are (rightfully) expecting and demanding that we leverage that data responsibly and accurately?
