Responsible AI – Model Interpretability and Fairness

Mehrnoosh Sameki Mehrnoosh Sameki | Senior Technical Program Manager | Microsoft

Enabling responsible development of artificial intelligent technologies is one of the major challenges we face as the field moves from research to practice. Researchers and practitioners from different disciplines have highlighted the ethical and legal challenges posed by the use of machine learning in many current and future real-world applications.  Now there are calls from across the industry (academia, government, and industry leaders) for technology creators to ensure that AI is used only in ways that benefit people and “to engineer responsibility into the very fabric of the technology.”   Overcoming these challenges and enabling responsible development is essential to ensure a future where AI and machine learning can be widely used. In this talk we will cover two of our open source toolkits InterpretML and Fairlearn. We will discuss their integration with the Azure Machine Learning platform, share lessons learned and future steps.
