Allison Cohen is the senior applied AI projects manager at Mila, a Quebec-based community of more than 1,200 researchers specializing in AI and machine learning. One of the projects I managed involved building a dataset containing instances of subtle and overt expressions of bias against women. I learned firsthand why this process is fundamental to building responsible applications, and also why it’s not done enough — it’s hard work! What advice would you give to women seeking to enter the AI field? How can investors better push for responsible AI?

Nonnecke also co-directors the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, where she leads projects on AI, platforms and society, and the UC Berkeley AI Policy Hub, an initiative to train researchers to develop effective AI governance and policy frameworks. I’ve been working in responsible AI governance for nearly a decade. First, The University of California was the first university to establish responsible AI principles and a governance structure to better ensure responsible procurement and use of AI. For women entering the AI field, my advice is threefold: Seek knowledge relentlessly, as AI is a rapidly evolving field. Investors have the power to shape the industry’s direction by making responsible AI practices a critical factor in their investment decisions.

Prior to this, she worked in biotech, using AI to find medical treatments for rare diseases. She also co-founded a data science consultancy and is a founding trustee of DataKind UK, which helps British charities with data science support. We ask this question a lot at the Ada Lovelace Institute, which aims to make data AI work for people and society. How can investors better push for responsible AI? By asking questions about their investments and their possible futures – for this AI system, what does it look like to work brilliantly and be responsible?

Rashida Richardson, senior counsel, AI at MastercardBriefly, how did you get your start in AI? On the second point, law and policy regarding AI development and use is evolving. How can investors better push for responsible AI? Investors can do a better job at defining or at least clarifying what constitutes responsible AI development or use, and taking action when AI actor’s practices do not align. Currently, “responsible” or “trustworthy” AI are effectively marketing terms because there are no clear standards to evaluate AI actor practices.

It’s very gratifying to help prepare the next generation of AI leaders to address multidisciplinary AI challenges. I recently called for a global AI learning campaign in a piece I published with the OECD. To reduce potential liability and other risks, AI users should establish proactive AI governance and compliance programs to manage their AI deployments. Furthermore, in our increasingly regulated and litigious AI world, responsible AI practices should reduce litigation risks and potential reputational harms caused by poorly designed AI. Additionally, even if not addressed in the investment agreements, investors can introduce portfolio companies to potential responsible AI hires or consultants and encourage and support their engagement in the ever-expanding responsible AI ecosystem.
