Responsibility and Fairness for Machine Learning, AI, Data Science, and Software
As AI and other data-driven technologies grow in importance and penetrate many aspects of modern society, the risk that these systems perpetuate existing social biases or are otherwise untrustworthy raise concerns about when, where, and how these tools should be used. We believe it is possible to build software systems that meet expectations of fairness, accountability, and transparency for users and the public. The shift to data-oriented technologies complicates traditional technology governance and makes traditional privacy, security, and compliance programs inadequate. We are leading experts in the field of responsible technology design and development, and can bring ideas from the cutting edge of research to your business.
