Can you trust a computer algorithm… how and why?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has afforded consumers unprecedented convenience and efficiency. As a result, many of us don’t pause to consider the technology powering our lives.

In this age of misinformation and loud, competing voices, trust is critical. With organisations gathering our data at astonishing rates, we have to be able to reply on the AI processing this data using algorithms to deliver ethical and useful results.

Join a panel of academic and industry experts as they unpack algorithmic trustworthiness.
