Managing AI risk: What are you waiting for?

Risk dial

Recent headlines have brought much-needed attention to questions surrounding algorithmic fairness. Regulators are taking notice. To date, EU officials put forth proposed language for aggressive new AI oversight. The Federal Trade Commission has published governance principles on the responsible use of AI, holding that existing law already empowers U.S. regulators to take corrective action. Additionally, a panel of AI experts testified before Congress about the potential inequities of algorithmic decision systems.

Many argue that increased regulation could stifle innovation, putting some nations at a disadvantage in the global arms race for AI dominance. But if the alternative is to do nothing, we could be creating even bigger risks, threatening our fundamental principles of fairness and equality.

Reacting with confidence to a new Trojan horse cyber threat

It’s the sophisticated technology that enables the virtual assistant on your kitchen counter, the recommendation engines on your favorite streaming services, and so much more -- and there’s new evidence hackers can use it as a Trojan horse to deliver malware. Because this technology is increasingly embedded not just in your movie nights, but critical industries from healthcare to energy and banking, its newly understood vulnerability is grave news.

But do we tear it out by its roots? Isolate it? No. Artificial intelligence is too important for that -- particularly, ironically enough, in cybersecurity defense. We have no choice but to confront the Trojan horse gambit and block it.

How AI-as-a-Service is perfectly poised to meet next-era production's ramp-up & capacity challenges

Manufacturing and the science of materials are evolving quickly, so the rate of new products and product variations industrials put into the world is increasing. This evolution also means process parameters, which circumscribe the making of things, are proliferating. Meanwhile, the quality metrics of products and components have become more refined than ever before.

As a by-product, industrial equipment sensors generate an abundance and complexity of data far beyond the reach of statistical process control -- let alone human capacity. Semiconductor engineers, for example, must contend with petabytes of data daily. And they do so from wafers with chip architectures fabricated to accommodate hundreds of millions of transistors per square millimeter.
