Machine Learning 2016
In AI We Trust? Ethics & Bias in Machine Learning
September 16, 2016
The big data era enabled organizations to store more data at a lower cost, and process data more quickly and efficiently. Organizations now seek ways to transform their data into meaningful insights, insights that inspire new products, drive revenue, or enable automation that impacts the bottom line.
Machine learning is at the center of this next wave of innovation and growth. But to use new algorithms effectively, organizations should first understand how they work, the reality vs. the hype, and the unique challenges and opportunities to the private sector and society at large.
