Platform and Model Design for Responsible AI

By: Amita Kapoor, Sharmistha Chatterjee

Overview of this book

AI algorithms are ubiquitous and used for tasks, from recruiting to deciding who will get a loan. With such widespread use of AI in the decision-making process, it’s necessary to build an explainable, responsible, transparent, and trustworthy AI-enabled system. With Platform and Model Design for Responsible AI, you’ll be able to make existing black box models transparent. You’ll be able to identify and eliminate bias in your models, deal with uncertainty arising from both data and model limitations, and provide a responsible AI solution. You’ll start by designing ethical models for traditional and deep learning ML models, as well as deploying them in a sustainable production setup. After that, you’ll learn how to set up data pipelines, validate datasets, and set up component microservices in a secure and private way in any cloud-agnostic framework. You’ll then build a fair and private ML model with proper constraints, tune the hyperparameters, and evaluate the model metrics. By the end of this book, you’ll know the best practices to comply with data privacy and ethics laws, in addition to the techniques needed for data anonymization. You’ll be able to develop models with explainability, store them in feature stores, and handle uncertainty in model predictions.

Challenges of fairness

The development of various methods for ML fairness has attracted increasing attention within the research community and we have made significant progress. However, there are still several challenges that need to be looked into. In this section, we briefly touch on different challenges that exist in building fair models.

Missing sensitive attributes

Fairness in ML models continues to be a challenge even if very few or even no sensitive attribute is known. Achieving fairness generally means ensuring that the resulting model is not biased against any particular group. This can be difficult to do when training data does not include information about individuals’ sensitive attributes. Most of the existing methods assume that sensitive attributes are explicitly known. However, with growing concern about privacy, and regulations such as GDPR, businesses are required to protect sensitive data.

Multiple sensitive attributes
