Five Things AI: Secrecy, Personal Data, Innovation, Openness, Transparency
This week was all about Openness and Transparency in AI.
I’m really excited about the discussion I’ve seen in many articles this week. It is crucial for the acceptance of AI to have some sort of understanding of what’s going on underneath the hood. We cannot talk about AI getting more and more powerful while at the same time not knowing how exactly an AI system works. We need to build up trust and for that we need a certain level of transparency.
So I hope you enjoy these five articles as much as I did.
Read on, my dear!
