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.

Introduction to AutoML

Anyone who has worked in the domain of ML can tell you that building ML models is a complex and iterative process. You start with a dataset and a set of features, and then train a model on that data. As you get more data, you add more features, and you retrain your model. This process continues until you have a model that generalizes well to new data. The task is complicated by the fact that there is a multitude of hyperparameters and that they have a kind of non-linear relationship to model performance. Choosing the right model and selecting the optimum hyperparameters is still considered alchemy by many.

Whether AI is alchemy or not is a hot debate. While many who start experimenting with AI feel that it is alchemy, there are experts, including us authors, who believe it is not so. AI, like any other experimental science...
