    Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems such as deep neural networks play a growing role as part of decision and control systems in a plethora of applications. While some of these applications are safety- and security-critical, the use of AI systems pose new challenges with regard to aspects such as IT security, safety, robustness and trustworthiness. To meet these challenges, a generally agreed-upon framework for auditing AI systems throughout their life cycle, comprising evaluation strategies, tools and standards, is required. This is under development but, as of now, only partly ready for practical use. In this talk, focusing on the applications domains autonomous driving and biometrics, the current status of AI system auditing is presented together with open questions and future directions.

    WHAT IS TRUSTWORTHY AI SERIES?

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have steadily grown in complexity, gaining predictivity often at the expense of interpretability, robustness and trustworthiness. Deep neural networks are a prime example of this development. While reaching “superhuman” performances in various complex tasks, these models are susceptible to errors when confronted with tiny (adversarial) variations of the input – variations which are either not noticeable or can be handled reliably by humans. This expert talk series will discuss these challenges of current AI technology and will present new research aiming at overcoming these limitations and developing AI systems which can be certified to be trustworthy and robust.

    The expert talk series will cover the following topics:

    • Measuring Neural Network Robustness
    • Auditing AI Systems
    • Adversarial Attacks and Defences
    • Explainability & Trustworthiness
    • Poisoning Attacks on AI
    • Certified Robustness
    • Model and Data Uncertainty
    • AI Safety and Fairness

    The Trustworthy AI series is moderated by Wojciech Samek, Head of AI Department at Fraunhofer HHI, one of the top 20 AI labs in the world.
