  • Rania Wazir e.U.

    Role: Data Science Lead

    Working with NGOs on "AI for good" projects has led to the realization that the intention of "doing good with AI" is insufficient - the AI system must function well and reflect social values. The fAIr by design project is the perfect opportunity to explore what it means for an AI system to "be fair", and how this translates into concrete actions and mitigation measures.
