Opening the black boxHow to make AIs fair, accountable and transparent is now one of the most crucial areas of AI research. It can take an AI’s decision and work backwards through the program’s neural network to reveal how a decision was made. Instead of exposing the full inner workings of an AI, it figures out what it would take to change the AI’s decision. Europe is ahead of other parts of the world in drawing up regulations to protect people from badly made or used AI. The body would need powers to send independent investigators into organisations to scrutinise their AIs and extract meaningful explanations.
