    Johns Hopkins | Safety and Risk Mitigation in the Age of AI

    How can AI applications be designed for applications in which human safety Is paramount?  AI promises to transform critical industries ranging from oil and gas to wind, mobility, medicine, aircraft, mining and more.  Yet most forms of AI are a black box, lacking performance guaranties and often failing in unexpected ways.  How can we ensure that AI applications will actually work?  How will risks be addressed and mitigated in the Age of AI?   This Lyceum offers insights from leading experts from Johns Hopkins on technology and assurance on how to understand – and mitigate – risks in critical industrial applications of AI.
