AI and data specialists – has your organization run into questions around integrating AI systems? Like, “Who should test the system?” “When do we test?” “How much will it cost?” If this sounds familiar, join us for When is Your Test Good Enough? Building a Robust Testing Framework for AI, a workshop where we will tackle these questions together. Your input will inform our initiative to develop cost-effective AI safety testing programs. During this hands-on, interactive session led by Rebecca Balebako, we will examine approaches and challenges around testing AI applications. Hosted by Philipp Kuntschik and data innovation alliance's Innovation Booster Artificial Intelligence, this workshop gives participants a chance to collaboratively identify organizational requirements for planning and running AI tests.

🚀🌉🦾 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗚𝗮𝗽: 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 AI is revolutionizing industries, but implementing Responsible AI (RAI) remains a major challenge. Many companies struggle to turn ethical principles into actionable business practices. Eleonora Viganò, Eugenia Cacciatori, and Christian Hauser published a report on their project exploring how organizations in Switzerland are tackling RAI funded by the UZH Digital Society Initiative and Innovation Booster - Databooster by Innosuisse. Key insights from their findings: ✅ Lack of clear ownership for RAI initiatives in organizations. ✅ High costs and limited awareness hinder progress. ✅ A growing demand for modular solutions tailored to industries and workflows. ✅ Top drivers? Awareness of AI risks and regulatory pressure. 💡 This research sets the stage for developing a RAI Toolkit—a structured, customizable framework that will help businesses: 📊 Translate principles into measurable metrics. 🔍 Visualize responsibilities and information flow. 📈 Benchmark ethical and compliance performances. 🌟 Curious to learn more?
