For the past decade, I’ve used the data of past tournaments to build a machine learning model for completing March Mania brackets.

It is accepted wisdom that—despite being crafted with as much skill and artisanship as a ceramics master—some models, when faced with the complexities of reality, break. Likewise, kintsugi is considered a contemplative approach to dealing with the repair of something useful, in a way that highlights the cracks and is transparent to everyone.

This is the time of year when it is customary for psychics, economists, and marketers to publish their predictions for the coming year. You are going to read predictions about world leaders, famous celebrities, and AI technology.

Trusted AI as a culture and practice is difficult at any level. The focus in this blog will be on the processes that our stakeholders utilize to create structure, repeatability, and standardization. 

This is a three part blog series in partnership with Amazon Web Services describing the essential components to build, govern, and trust AI systems: People, Process, and Technology.  All are required for trusted AI,  technology systems that align to our individual, corporate and societal ideals. This first post is focused on making people across organizations successful with building and implementing…

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning are powerful technologies that have created endless possibilities. They contribute to AI chatbots, have brought us self-driving cars, and help translate documents into human-like speech in dozens of languages. For many narrow applications, we have become accustomed to superhuman performance, such as in the case of AlphaGO beating the world’s best human player,…

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning  are powerful technologies that have created endless  possibilities. They contribute to AI chatbots, have put us on the cusp of fully self-driving cars, and help translate documents into human-like speech in dozens of languages. For many narrow applications, we have become accustomed to superhuman performance, such as in the case of AlphaGO beating…

Humble AI is a new feature in DataRobot that protects the quality of your predictions in situations where the model may be less confident. With Humble AI, users create rules for models in deployment for predictions made in real-time. These rules identify conditions that indicate quantifiably that a prediction may be unsure, and then can trigger actions like defaulting to…

Cutting-edge algorithms and new research will continue to drive the advancement of machine learning. However, there’s a more straightforward way of resolving many challenges in machine learning today, especially when it comes to ethics and better alignment with human values. And it is not surprisingly, not focused on the technology, but rather on the people using it. For advanced AI and machine learning systems already in production, the focus is on delivering the intended value of the system, which is no longer a question of leveling up the technology or mathematical techniques behind it. Value-oriented approaches can be supported holistically by both the human expertise involved in creating AI and by the technology itself.
