ABBYY Launches Global Initiative Promoting the Development of Trustworthy AI

ABBYY, a Digital Intelligence company, recently launched a global initiative to promote the development of trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) technology. As AI becomes ubiquitous across consumer and enterprise high-value and large-scale uses and more open source tools become available for digitizing data, the ethical use of accessing and training data is imperative. In a recent study, there were eight themes that kept recirculating. Privacy and accountability were two of the most commonly appearing ethical themes, as was AI safety/security. Transparency/explainability was also a commonly cited goal, with making AI algorithms more explainable being classified as extremely important.
