Human-compatible AI with guarantees, the Horizon Europe project (“AutoFair”), seeks to address needs for trusted AI and user-in-the-loop tools and systems in a range of industry applications through:
Comprehensive and flexible certification of fairness At one end we can consider risk averse a priori guarantees on certain bias measures as hard constraints in the training process. At the other end, we can consider post hoc comprehensible but thorough presentation of all of the tradeoffs involved in the design of an AI pipeline and their effect on industrial and bias outcomes.
User-in-the-loop in continuous iterative engagement among AI systems, their developers and users. We seek to both inform the users thoroughly in regards to the possible algorithmic choices and their expected effects, and at the same time to learn their preferences in regards to different fairness measures and subsequently guide decision making bringing together the benefits of automation in a human-compatible manner.
Toolkits for the automatic identification of various types of bias, and their joint compensation by automatically optimizing various and potentially conflicting objectives (fairness/accuracy/runtime/resources), visualising the tradeoffs, and making it possible to communicate the tradeoffs to the industrial user, government agency, NGO, or members of the public, where appropriate.
