Good AI ethics policy defines what shouldn't change all the time: your values. Here are 3 core values that make up SAP's AI ethics policy from my recent conversation with their Chief AI Officer Dr. Philipp Herzig 👇 1. Enable human agency and oversight. 2. Ensure transparency and explainability. 3. Address bias and discrimination in model output. How does this impact how AI projects are rolled out at SAP? Any project, whether at the idea stage or fully in production, is repeatedly evaluated against those values. Doing this consistently ingrains AI ethics into your standard development procedures over time. I learned a lot from this conversation.

Great to see Elemental Cognition featured in this New York Times article about why large language models have a math problem, and how we’re fixing that at EC. “The world’s smartest computer scientists, it seems, have created artificial intelligence that is more liberal arts major than numbers whiz.” “Chatbots like Open AI’s ChatGPT can write poetry, summarize books and answer questions, often with human-level fluency. These systems can do math, based on what they have learned, but the results can vary and be wrong. They are fine-tuned for determining probabilities, not doing rules-based calculations. Likelihood is not accuracy, and language is more flexible, and forgiving, than math.” A wise perspective from Steve Lohr, especially important for a wide class of enterprise applications. Delivering AI that reliably solves mathematical optimization problems to automate complex decisions for businesses accurately and transparently is what we’re all about at EC.
