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.

Sustainability practices and metrics across different cloud platforms

In this section, we will explore how we can evaluate the following:

  • Useful emission metrics on Google Cloud
  • Best practices and strategies for carbon-free energy
  • The energy efficiency of data centers

First of all, we will discuss some of the metrics of Google Cloud and also cite some of the initiatives and tools promoted by Microsoft.

Google’s role in sustainable cloud solutions has been overwhelming, and it has been the leading cloud provider in terms of purchasing sufficient renewable energy, more than any other organization. Starting with a pledge in 2007 to become the first major carbon-neutral company by 2017, 100% of its electricity consumption now comes from renewable energy. In the absence of enough wind and solar power or renewable resources, Google draws power from the local grid to run operations at a local data center. Conversely, when sufficient power is available, the...
