Riassunto

So far, little effort has been devoted to developing practical approaches on how to develop and deploy AI systems that meet certain standards and principles. This is despite the importance of principles such as privacy, fairness, and social equality taking centre stage in discussions around AI. However, for an organization, failing to meet those standards can give rise to significant lost opportunities. It may further lead to an organization’s demise, as the example of Cambridge Analytica demonstrates. It is, however, possible to pursue a practical approach for the design, development, and deployment of sustainable AI systems that incorporates both business and human values and principles.

This book discusses the concept of sustainability in the context of artificial intelligence. In order to help businesses achieve this objective, the author introduces the sustainable artificial intelligence framework (SAIF), designed as a reference guide in the development and deploymentof AI systems.

The SAIF developed in the book is designed to help decision makers such as policy makers, boards, C-suites, managers, and data scientists create AI systems that meet ethical principles. By focusing on four pillars related to the socio-economic and political impact of AI, the SAIF creates an environment through which an organization learns to understand its risk and exposure to any undesired consequences of AI, and the impact of AI on its ability to create value in the short, medium, and long term.

Informazioni sull?autore

Ghislain Tsafack is Head of Data Science at Elemental Concept 2016 LTD (EC), where he leads the organization’s AI strategy. As part of this, he leads the company’s work in leveraging the latest advances in AI to help clients create value from their data and auditing AI systems developed by third parties on behalf of potential investors. 

Ghislain’s work in the healthcare industry at EC involves supporting the development of data related healthcare products for his clients. This made him appreciate the challenges and the complexity of developing AI systems that people trust to make the right decision for them and stimulated him to write this book.

Before joining EC Ghislain held positions as data scientist in the telecommunications and energy sectors. Prior to this, Ghislain worked as an academic at the French National Institute for Research and Automation (INRIA) and the University of Lyon 1. His work primarily focused on analyzing the behaviors of high performance systems to improve their energy efficiency and gave him the opportunity to co-author several scientific books presenting methodologies for improving the energy efficiency for large scale computing infrastructures. He holds a PhD in computer science from Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon, France.
