Learn how Autodesk is developing AI with transparency, reliability, and accountability
Trust in AI can be likened to filling a jar with marbles. Ousama Lakhdar-Ghazal, an expert on AI at Autodesk, uses this analogy to explain how positive interactions add to the trust jar, while negative interactions deplete it more significantly due to human negativity bias. He emphasizes that trust is built over time and highlights Autodesk’s commitment to creating AI that enhances human ingenuity responsibly. Lakhdar-Ghazal outlines Autodesk’s AI principles centered around responsibility, transparency, accountability, and reliability, and introduces the concept of AI transparency cards, which provide detailed information about AI features to foster trust. He underscores that Autodesk’s Trusted AI Team employs rigorous oversight to ensure these principles are consistently applied, aiming to maintain and grow users' confidence in AI technology.
