How To Train Your AI Dragon (Safely, Legally And Without Bias)

Just like the dragons in Dreamworks' 2010 film'How to Train Your Dragon', AI systems are often unruly and require strict training to make sure they make the right decisions. Untrained dragons can cause a lot of damage. Likewise, as AI systems spread further and have more influence over our lives, it's getting far more important to make sure they're properly trained. Bias can creep into the reasoning of AI very easily, either via datasets that are not diverse enough or through irrelevant data attached to viable data points, leading to flawed results and in some cases prejudiced or dangerous conclusions. Despite regulations like GDPR to protect the privacy of our data, personal consumer data is increasingly being used by companies to improve services or to gain customer insight.
