Introduction to Responsible AI in Practice

(1 day)

 

The development of AI has created new opportunities to improve the lives of people around the world, from business to healthcare to education. It has also raised new questions about the best way to build fairness, interpretability, privacy, and safety into these systems.

In this course, you will do a high-level exploration of Google’s recommended best practices for responsible AI usage across different areas of focus: Fairness, Interpretability, Privacy, and Safety. Along the way, you will learn how you can leverage different open-source tools and tools on Vertex AI to explore these concepts and spend time considering the different challenges that arise with generative AI.

Course Objectives

  • Overview of responsible AI principles and practices
  • Implement processes to check for unfair biases within machine learning models
  • Explore techniques to interpret the behavior of machine learning models in a human-understandable manner
