AI Ethics: DNV GL Exec on Why Women Are Key to Ethics Research

"If you look at the key names in the global debate on AI ethics, it is in fact dominated by women who have many different types of backgrounds, not only tech backgrounds." Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the game-changer in the industry, turbocharging new use cases in transportation, law enforcement, e-commerce, retail, healthcare, and entertainment. However, the quick pace of transformation and adoption is not accompanied by concrete industry standards on AI ethics and fairness in Machine Learning algorithms. While ethics in AI have been a dominant narrative for sometime, Big Tech is still seeking ways to design a code of conduct when building ML algorithms. Some tech giants like Microsoft have laid down guidelines to responsible AI and has operationalized responsible AI at scale, others are yet to follow suit.
