When is your test good enough? Building a Robust Testing Framework for AI.

Geschrieben von dsa_admin am .

As organizations integrate advanced AI systems into their business, ensuring their safety, reliability, and robustness becomes a critical priority. However, AI testing remains a complex and evolving field. Key questions from an organizational perspective are: What expertise is required to ensure a secure application? Who is responsible for testing? When do you test? How much testing is enough? How much will it cost?

With this workshop, we want to explore and discuss common challenges within the domain of testing AI applications. We want your input for our initiative to develop cost effective AI safety testing programs. For a warmup, a hands-on demo exercise lets us experiment jailbreaking a LLM and assessing the effectiveness of these jailbreaks (no technical expertise required). Next, we explore in groups common challenges, approaches, and structures that help us address this topic from an organizational perspective. We reconvene to review the practical question around AI safety testing and identify what is needed to help businesses plan and run AI tests. 

Who will get the most out of this: 
CISOs and AI safety specialists
DPOs, Compliance and Risk Management Leaders
AI Product Managers, AI Product Designers or leaders of AI projects

What to bring:
A laptop or willingness to work in groups.
Your expertise to share ideas.

Sign-up:
The workshop will be limited to 25 people. Please reserve your spot with this link:

Expert Day

Geschrieben von dsa_admin am .

Save the date! The data innovation alliance and Innovation Booster Artificial Intelligence invite you to participate in the Expert Day, hosted by Center of Research & Methods of HWZ Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich. We are excited to bring together three Expert Groups (EG): EG Industrial AI, EG Smart Services, and EG Governance for Growth with Data & AI.

Join us for an insightful afternoon with presentations, engaging discussions, and potential collaborations. Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with experts and exchange ideas and experiences.

The detailed program will follow shortly.

Agenda

Prof. Claude Meier (Leiter Center for Research & Methods HWZ)
Sven Remke (Managing Director data innovation alliance)

Innovation literature mostly talks about radical innovation, significant steps that transform markets. Still, most of the innovation is happening incrementally. New product versions are released with new features, serving the existing market. In this talk, I will present a few thoughts on changing one’s viewpoint. Seeing things from a different angle may help to discover new approaches to customers’ challenges. How this relates to Monty Python remains to be seen.

During the coffee break you’ll have the opportunity to join one or more posters sessions with the following topics:

  • How to make AI usable for trends and developments in Banking & Finance (e.g. for Open Finance)?
  • How to automatise qualitative content analysis with AI? Basis: A study done to climate communication of Swiss companies.
  • Actual AI-based research projects at HWZ.

We are looking forward to exciting discussions.

Would you like to explore how AI can drive innovation in your industry? Join us for the first meeting of the new “Industrial AI” Expert Group.

What is on the program?
⚙️ Learn how the Innovation Booster facilitates collaboration and accelerates industrial AI solutions.
⚙️ Hear from companies that have successfully leveraged the AI Booster in past and ongoing projects.
⚙️ Engage in an interactive session to assess your company’s AI potential and explore new ideas.

We are looking forward to meet you there!

Biruk, Maik, Thomas, Manuel and Lilach

The Expert Group „Smart Services“ will have an ideation session, with Gerrit Schatte from Kistler moderating the discussion about the following topics:

  • Software / services as upselling product for hardware
  • Software / services as enablers to sell hardware in the system network at all

Almost any physical product sold in the EU may soon require a digital counterpart that provides access to data on materials, recycling, supply chains, and production. In just two years, this will apply to the first product group: batteries.

What can we expect from the digital product pass in Switzerland? Join us for an interactive session with Peter Krummenacher from Bloqsense, where we will explore challenges, requirements, opportunities, and the potential of data governance.
