In Part 4 of our series, 'Contracting in the Age of AI - Responsible AI - "This is the Way!", Rhonda Maus, Professor of Software Engineering, Agile Coach, and DAU's lead for AI Research, goes more in-depth into Responsible AI (RAI), what is RAI, trusting our systems (how do we keep control?), the beauty of AI (what about risk?), why does AI make errors?, importance of quality data (biases), how relate to AI ethical principals, and AI in small batches to be agile (to reduce the risk). We will bring on other AI experts, with DoD and industry, to help answer your questions and bring additional perspectives - we need your help in giving us those AI topics. Below are some great resources to grow your AI knowledge:
