Responsible AI in the Age of Generative Models
Author: I. Almeida
Publisher: Now Next Later AI
ISBN: 0975642219
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
In "Responsible AI in the Age of Generative Models: Governance, Ethics and Risk Management" we present a comprehensive guide to navigating the complex landscape of ethical AI development and deployment. As generative AI systems become increasingly powerful and ubiquitous, it is crucial to develop governance frameworks that mitigate potential risks while harnessing the technology's transformative potential. This book presents a rights-based approach, grounded in established human rights frameworks, to align AI systems with societal values and expectations. Divided into ten parts, the book covers a wide range of topics essential for responsible AI governance: Part I maps generative AI risks to specific human rights, while Part II presents a framework for institutionalizing rights-respecting AI practices throughout the development lifecycle. Part III delves into responsible data governance practices, and Part IV examines participatory approaches to data stewardship. Part V explores the roles and responsibilities of different organizational functions in operationalizing responsible AI, emphasizing the need for cross-functional collaboration. Transparency and algorithmic auditing are the focus of Part VI, followed by Part VII, which provides guidance on implementing effective multi-layered governance across the AI system lifecycle. Part VIII introduces maturity models for assessing an organization's responsible AI capabilities, and Part IX features an in-depth case study of Anthropic's innovative Constitutional AI approach. Finally, Part X analyzes emerging regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act and discusses the implications for businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions. "Responsible AI in the Age of Generative Models" equips readers with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to unlock the transformative potential of generative models while safeguarding human rights and promoting social justice. It is an essential resource for business leaders, policymakers, researchers, and anyone concerned about the future of AI governance. By embracing responsible AI as an imperative, we can work together to build a world where AI empowers and uplifts us all. This book is an invitation to engage in that critical conversation and take action towards a more equitable future.

Quantitative Analysis and Modeling of Earth and Environmental Data
Author: Jiaping Wu
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0128163429
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 504
Book Description
Quantitative Analysis and Modeling of Earth and Environmental Data: Space-Time and Spacetime Data Considerations introduces the notion of chronotopologic data analysis that offers a systematic, quantitative analysis of multi-sourced data and provides information about the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics of natural attributes (physical, biological, health, social). It includes models and techniques for handling data that may vary by space and/or time, and aims to improve understanding of the physical laws of change underlying the available numerical datasets, while taking into consideration the in-situ uncertainties and relevant measurement errors (conceptual, technical, computational). It considers the synthesis of scientific theory-based methods (stochastic modeling, modern geostatistics) and data-driven techniques (machine learning, artificial neural networks) so that their individual strengths are combined by acting symbiotically and complementing each other. The notions and methods presented in Quantitative Analysis and Modeling of Earth and Environmental Data: Space-Time and Spacetime Data Considerations cover a wide range of data in various forms and sources, including hard measurements, soft observations, secondary information and auxiliary variables (ground-level measurements, satellite observations, scientific instruments and records, protocols and surveys, empirical models and charts). Including real-world practical applications as well as practice exercises, this book is a comprehensive step-by-step tutorial of theory-based and data-driven techniques that will help students and researchers master data analysis and modeling in earth and environmental sciences (including environmental health and human exposure applications). - Explores the analysis and processing of chronotopologic (i.e., space-time and spacetime) data that varies spatially and/or temporally, which is the case with the majority of data in scientific and engineering disciplines - Studies the synthesis of scientific theory and empirical evidence (in its various forms) that offers a mathematically rigorous and physically meaningful assessment of real-world phenomena - Covers a wide range of data describing a variety of attributes characterizing physical phenomena and systems including earth, ocean and atmospheric variables, environmental and ecological parameters, population health states, disease indicators, and social and economic characteristics - Includes case studies and practice exercises at the end of each chapter for both real-world applications and deeper understanding of the concepts presented

Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309256348
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Advances in computing hardware and algorithms have dramatically improved the ability to simulate complex processes computationally. Today's simulation capabilities offer the prospect of addressing questions that in the past could be addressed only by resource-intensive experimentation, if at all. Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models recognizes the ubiquity of uncertainty in computational estimates of reality and the necessity for its quantification. As computational science and engineering have matured, the process of quantifying or bounding uncertainties in a computational estimate of a physical quality of interest has evolved into a small set of interdependent tasks: verification, validation, and uncertainty of quantification (VVUQ). In recognition of the increasing importance of computational simulation and the increasing need to assess uncertainties in computational results, the National Research Council was asked to study the mathematical foundations of VVUQ and to recommend steps that will ultimately lead to improved processes. Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models discusses changes in education of professionals and dissemination of information that should enhance the ability of future VVUQ practitioners to improve and properly apply VVUQ methodologies to difficult problems, enhance the ability of VVUQ customers to understand VVUQ results and use them to make informed decisions, and enhance the ability of all VVUQ stakeholders to communicate with each other. This report is an essential resource for all decision and policy makers in the field, students, stakeholders, UQ experts, and VVUQ educators and practitioners.
