MAKING AI WORK FOR REAL
Whether it’s voice recognition on our phones or auto-tagging of friends’ faces on social media posts, AI is in use all around us. Many futurists have forecast that “movie AI” will take over, but we somehow seem far from that. This talk will provide a view of the challenges and solutions needed as AI progresses - from computational improvements to accountability, fairness, and bias considerations for AI creation and deployment. Cutting edge research will be highlighted in each of these areas and we’ll talk about how the IBM-Illinois C3SR Center for Cognitive Computing Systems Research is making AI work.
