Know Your Model (KYM): Increasing Trust in AI and Machine Learning
This work tackles the problem of building trustworthy AI for society, but it is incremental as it synthesizes existing concerns into guidelines without introducing new methods.
The paper addresses the need to evaluate and ensure trustworthiness in AI systems by analyzing elements of trust and providing 20 guidelines for optimal functionality, ethical considerations, and provable trust across any sector.
The widespread utilization of AI systems has drawn attention to the potential impacts of such systems on society. Of particular concern are the consequences that prediction errors may have on real-world scenarios, and the trust humanity places in AI systems. It is necessary to understand how we can evaluate trustworthiness in AI and how individuals and entities alike can develop trustworthy AI systems. In this paper, we analyze each element of trustworthiness and provide a set of 20 guidelines that can be leveraged to ensure optimal AI functionality while taking into account the greater ethical, technical, and practical impacts to humanity. Moreover, the guidelines help ensure that trustworthiness is provable and can be demonstrated, they are implementation agnostic, and they can be applied to any AI system in any sector.
