TechTarget: AI vendors may have to prove systems don’t discriminateIn general, bias in an AI system largely results from the data the system is trained on. The model itself “does not come with built-in discrimination, it comes as a blank canvas of sorts that learns from and with you,” said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder and principal analyst at Deep Analysis. Yet, many vendors sell pre-trained models as a way to save their clients the time and know-how it normally takes to train a model. That’s ordinarily uncontroversial if the model is used to, say, detect the difference between an invoice and a purchase order, Pelz-Sharpe continued.
