Role Models in AI: Ece Kamar – AI4ALL – Medium

Meet Ece Kamar, a senior researcher at Microsoft who works on human-machine collaboration, AI systems in the real world, and issues around bias, robustness, reliability, and transparency in AI. Ece also co-authored the first report in a 100-year study of artificial intelligence, intended to provide a set of reflections about the field as it progresses. The report offers insights on where AI is headed, policy recommendations, and the importance of reflecting on fairness and transparency in the field. Ece believes that it's unlikely that important tasks will ever be fully automated, as human-AI partnerships will be complementary, rather than a relationship of replacement. See how Ece envisions the future of AI, how her academic exploration in college helped shape her career, and how she sees diversity as key to moving the field in a positive direction.
