AI is a way for us to understand and grasp knowledge, information and put data into context. It is being used globally to make all kinds of decisions that directly impact our lives and yet most understand very little about it. We start with the definition that data is an artifact of human experience. We need the widest variance of humans, irrespective of your role and skillset, developing AI so that everyone’s story is a part of the models we are building. Join IBM’s own Phaedra Boinodiris as she uses her own hand-drawn comics to illustrate what she has learned in the space of AI ethics and governance, along with stories and examples of AI’s and Gen AI’s  impact in industry and government.

To practice trustworthy or responsible AI (AI that is truly fair, explainable, accountable, and robust), a number of organizations are creating in-house centers of excellence. These are groups of trustworthy AI stewards from across the business that can understand, anticipate, and mitigate any potential problems. The intent is not to necessarily create subject matter experts but rather a pool of ambassadors who act as point people. In this talk, we will walk you through a set f best practices for establishing an effective center of excellence in your own organization.
