Why Trustworthy AI is Key to Preventing the Erosion of Trust at Scale

“With Artificial Intelligence we now have the ability to erode trust at scale” Reggie Townsend, Vice President of Data Ethics at SAS made that statement to a room full of clients, data analysts, AI experts, and media at the SAS Innovate conference. That attention-grabbing line was Townsend’s opening to an engaging keynote on the need for “Trustworthy AI” and thoughtful incorporation of ethics into the AI conversation. Healthcare IT Today had the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with Townsend to learn how SAS is infusing ethics and trustworthiness into their operations. We also wanted to hear more about the company’s pioneering AI work with Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
