Accenture's new AI testing tools can accelerate training by 80%

Teach and Test Announced by Accenture today, the testing tools are meant to help developers create "safe, reliable and transparent" AI that effectively integrates into the scenarios it's designed for. The tools are based around the two-stage Teach and Test algorithm and address ethics, bias, security and compliance. The first stage of the process, "Teach," is used to focus the machine learning models and algorithms which train the AI. The Teaching process involves experimentation and statistical evaluation of different models to determine which is the most performant. The decision is made by assessing the model's accuracy, as well as additional factors such as its ethical basis and ability to withstand bias.
