The AI industry has been going from strength to strength over the past several years, with machine learning technology becoming increasingly widely available to businesses, along with a stream of breakthroughs in research and development. However, this explosion of AI capabilities has also brought its share of problems. Questions of model transparency, implicit bias and ethical deployments have frequently been levelled at efforts in this space. And numerous campaigners have called for governments to introduce legislation, which will place greater controls on the development and implementation of AI systems. Joining us this week to discuss the issue of AI regulation, whether it's necessary and how it might be implemented without stifling innovation is Cindi Howson, chief data strategy officer for analytics software vendor ThoughtSpot. Cindi, great to have you on the show. Great to be here, Sabina, and Adam.
