Techstrong.ai, Thursday, January 30th, 2025
Phaedra Boinodiris, global leader for Trustworthy AI for IBM Consulting, dives into the governance challenges organizations are encountering as they operationalize AI.
In this episode of the Techstrong AI video series, Mike Vizard interviews Phaedra Boinodiris, IBM Consulting's global lead for trustworthy AI, about the challenges and misconceptions surrounding AI governance.
Boinodiris emphasizes that many people lack a true understanding of AI and governance, leading to significant accountability gaps.
Organizations often fail to identify who is responsible for AI outcomes, and many assume they don't use AI when, in reality, it is embedded in various business tools. She underscores the importance of AI literacy and governance, which goes beyond technical issues to include ethical and regulatory considerations.
With AI's probabilistic nature clashing with deterministic business processes, she warns of the risks involved when governance frameworks fail to address the complexities of AI models, including biases and unintended consequences.
