Effective auditing and monitoring of AI systems are crucial for ensuring they operate as intended and
do not inadvertently cause harm.
In this section, you will learn about the methods and tools for conducting thorough AI audits.
These foundational skills will help you systematically evaluate AI models for biases, performance,
and compliance with regulatory standards.
By mastering these tools, you will be better equipped to identify areas for improvement and maintain
the integrity of AI systems.
Next, we will delve into evaluating AI's societal impact, exploring various metrics and approaches
to understand how AI technologies affect different communities and sectors.
You'll discover methods for quantifying both positive and negative impacts, equipping you with the
knowledge to assess AI systems comprehensively and responsibly.
Tracking AI system performance.
Post-deployment is another critical skill you will acquire.
This lesson will cover techniques for continuous monitoring, allowing you to detect performance, drift,
and other issues early.
Understanding how to effectively track and analyze AI performance ensures that the systems remain accurate
and reliable over time.
Once problems are identified, remediating AI system failures and negative impacts becomes imperative.
You will explore strategies for addressing these failures, focusing on both technical fixes and policy
adjustments to mitigate adverse consequences and restore trust in the AI systems.
Communicating risks associated with AI systems is equally important.
You will learn how to report and communicate these risks effectively to various stakeholders, ensuring
transparency and fostering informed decision making.
This will include best practices for crafting clear and concise risk reports.
Creating ethical AI impact reports for stakeholders will also be a key topic.
This lesson will guide you through the process of documenting AI impacts in a way that is both ethical
and informative, helping stakeholders understand the broader implications of AI deployments.
Finally, preparing AI systems for continuous evaluation and updates will round out your learning.
This involves establishing protocols for ongoing assessment and iterative improvements, ensuring that
AI systems evolve responsibly alongside technological advancements and societal needs.
By the end of this section, you will have a comprehensive toolkit for auditing, evaluating, and communicating
the performance and impact of AI systems, empowering you to contribute positively to the field of artificial
intelligence.
