Village Workshop: Responsible AI for Products and Companies

Considering responsible AI when building early products is important for your users, your product story, your partners, and future iterations of your products. And if you’re building in AI, it’s critical that you’re innovating first within a responsible culture.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the pillars of responsible AI, real-world examples of human and machine bias, and practice how to get started with responsible AI awareness within your team.

Takeaways:

- Gain awareness of human and machine bias that can appear in AI products;

- Understand real-world impacts of the AI products you’re building; and

- Practice with a case study for identifying responsible AI opportunities and outcomes
