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.

Building sustainable, adaptable systems

We have looked at the step-by-step processes for model governance and sustainable model training and deployment. We also now understand how important it is to build reusable feature stores.

We understand that without a feature store, we will end up with a separate feature engineering pipeline for each model that we want to deploy. Duplicate pipelines inevitably lead to added compute costs and data lineage overheads, as well as lots of engineering effort. However, the endeavor of building a sustainable feature store will be fruitless if it’s not robust and resilient enough to adapt to data and concept drift.

Even when we design large-scale distributed ML systems, we should think about building an adaptable system with the ability to detect data drift, concept drift, and calibration drift. This will facilitate continuous monitoring and mean that we can manage new, incoming data from different sources. For example, in a retail system...
