Quality Data: Why Diversity is Essential to Train AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a projection into future uses but a part of business practices. Machine learning (ML) is a tool used by businesses for predictive modeling that is used in an array of industries, from healthcare to finance to security. The question that businesses have to address is: Are we being careful to not misuse AI by having it reinforce human biases in the training data? To get insight into the various factors that play into that assurance, Martine Bertrand, Lead AI at Samasource in Montreal shared her thoughts. Bertrand holds a Ph.D. in physics and has applied her scientific rigor to ML and AI.
