From the inception of Artificial Intelligence, the technology has been the source of intermittent excitement, worry, and, of course, advancement across industries.<\/p>\n
From Skynet to revolutionary diagnostics capabilities in healthcare, AI has the power to both capture the imagination and drive innovation.<\/p>\n
For the general public, discussions around AI usually centre on outlandish doomsday scenarios, concerns about robots taking our jobs, or excitement at how automation may precipitate a more balanced work-life paradigm. For most, the practical application and understanding of AI has largely been hidden from sight, which has led to misapprehension filling the vacuum.<\/p>\n
The most compelling use cases for AI have long been the preserve of businesses, governments, and technology giants, but this all changed with the arrival of OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT. This is the first example of a large language model and its generative capabilities being widely available for mass consumption.<\/p>\n
It has created an AI playground that is immediately, and to varying degrees, useful in many contexts.<\/p>\n
The most glaring issue, however, and one that has been around since the dawn of AI, is bias.<\/p>\n
In recent times, data scientists have put their shoulders to the wheel as they look for ways in which bias can be removed from models, with particular pressure in industries where the outcomes of models might adversely affect customers and end users.<\/p>\n
When it comes to financial services, for example, decision-making algorithms have been used for many years to expedite decisions and improve services. But in the context of loans, \u2018bad\u2019 or \u2018wrong\u2019 decisions that are the product of a biased model can have disastrous consequences for individuals.<\/p>\n
