Hello, Hello, Welcome to Smart 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 3: Talks with IBM, a podcast from Pushkin Industries, iHeartRadio and IBM. 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 3: I'm Malcolm Glabwell. This season, we're continuing our conversation with 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: new creators visionaries who are creatively applying technology in business 29 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: to drive change, but with a focus on the transformative 30 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: power of artificial intelligence and what it means to leverage 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: AI as a game changing multiplier for your business. Our 32 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: guest today is Christina Montgomery, IBM's Chief Privacy and Trust Officer. 33 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: She's also chair of IBM's AI Ethics Board. In addition 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: to overseeing IBM's privacy policy, A core part of Christina's 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: job involves AI governance, making sure the way AI is 36 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: used complies with the international legal regulations customized for each industry. 37 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 3: In today's episode, Christina will explain why businesses need foundational 38 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: principles when it comes to using technology, why AI regulation 39 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: should focus on specific use cases over the technology itself 40 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: and share a little bit about her landmark congressional testimony. 41 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: Last May, Christina spoke with doctor Lori Santos, host of 42 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 3: the Pushkin podcast The Happiness Lab, a cognitive scientist and 43 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: psychology professor at Yale University. Laurie is an expert on 44 00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: human happiness and cognition. Okay, let's get to the interview. 45 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 4: So, Christina, I'm so excited to talk to you today. 46 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: So let's start by talking a little bit about your 47 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 4: role at IBM. What does a Chief Privacy and Trust 48 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: Officer actually do. 49 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 5: It's a really dynamic profession and it's not a new profession, 50 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 5: but the role has really changed. I mean, my role 51 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 5: today is broader than just helping to ensure compliance with 52 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 5: data protection laws globally. I'm also responsible for AI governance 53 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 5: I co chair or AI Ethics Board here at IBM, 54 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 5: and for data clearance and data governance as well for 55 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: the company. So I have both a compliance aspect to 56 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 5: my role, really important on a global basis, but also 57 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 5: help the business to competitively differentiate because really trust is 58 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 5: a strategic advantage for IBM and a competitive differentiator as 59 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 5: a company that's been responsibly managing the most sensitive data 60 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 5: for our clients for more than a century now and 61 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 5: helping to usher new technologies into the world with trust 62 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 5: and transparency, and so that's also a key aspect of 63 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 5: my role. 64 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 4: And so you joined us here on smart Talks back 65 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one and you chatted with us about 66 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 4: IBM's approach of building trust and transparency with AI, and 67 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: that was only two years ago. But it almost feels 68 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: like in eternity has happened in the field of AI 69 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 4: since then, and so I'm curious how much has changed 70 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: since you were here last time. Were the things you 71 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 4: told us before, you know, are they still true? How 72 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: are things changing? 73 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 5: You're absolutely right, it feels like the world has changed 74 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 5: really in the last two years. But the same fundamental 75 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 5: principles and the same overall governance applied to IBM's program 76 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 5: for data protection and responsible AI that we talked about 77 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 5: two years ago, and not much has changed there from 78 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 5: our perspective. And the good thing is we've put these 79 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 5: practices and this governance approach into place, and we've have 80 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 5: an established way of looking at these emerging technologies. As 81 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 5: the technology evolves, the tech is more powerful, for sure. 82 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 5: Foundation model as are vastly larger and more capable and 83 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 5: are creating in some respects new issues. But that just 84 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 5: makes it all the more urgent to do what we've 85 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 5: been doing and to put trust and transparency into place 86 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 5: across the business to be accountable to those principles. 87 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: And so our conversation today is really centered around this 88 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 4: need for new AI regulation and part of that regulation 89 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 4: involves the mitigation of bias. And this is something I 90 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 4: think about a ton as a psychologist, right, you know, 91 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 4: I know, like my students and everyone who's interacting with 92 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 4: AI is assuming that the kind of knowledge that they're 93 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: getting from this kind of learning is accurate, right, But 94 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 4: of course AI is only as good as the knowledge 95 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 4: that's going in. And so talk to me a little 96 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: bit about like why bias occurs in AI and the 97 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 4: level of the problem that we're really dealing with. 98 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, obviously AI is based on data, rights it's 99 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 5: trained with data, and that data could be biased in 100 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 5: and of itself, and that's where issues could come up. 101 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 5: They come up in the data, they could also come 102 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 5: up in the output of the models themselves. So it's 103 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 5: really important that you build bias consideration and bias testing 104 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 5: into your product development cycle, and so what we've been 105 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 5: thinking about here at IBM and doing We had some 106 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 5: of our research teams delivered some of the very first 107 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 5: toolkits to help detect bias years ago now right and 108 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 5: deployed them to open source. And we have put into 109 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 5: place for our developers here at IBM and Ethics by 110 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 5: Design playbook that's sort of a step by step approach 111 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 5: which also addresses very fully bias considerations, and we provide 112 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 5: not only like here's a point when you should test 113 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 5: for it and you consider it in the data, you 114 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 5: have to measure it both at the data and the 115 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 5: model level or the outcome level, and we provide guidance 116 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 5: with respect to what tools can best be used to 117 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 5: accomplish that. So it's a really important issue. It's one 118 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: you can't just talk about. You have to provide essentially 119 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 5: the technology and the capabilities of guidance to enable people 120 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 5: to test for it. 121 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 4: Recently, you had this wonderful opportunity to head to Congress 122 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 4: to talk about AI, and in your testimony before Congress 123 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 4: you mentioned that it's often said that innovation moves too 124 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: fast for government to keep up, and this is something 125 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 4: that I also worry about as a psychologist, right our 126 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 4: policy makers really understanding the issues that they're dealing with, 127 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: and so I'm curious how you're approaching this challenge of 128 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 4: adapting AI policies to keep up with the sort of 129 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: rapid pace of all the advancements we're seeing in AI 130 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: technology itself. 131 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 5: I think it's really critically important that you have foundational 132 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 5: principles that applied to not only how you use technology, 133 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 5: but whether you're going to use it in the first 134 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 5: place and where you're going to use and apply it 135 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 5: across your company. And then your program from a governance perspective, 136 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 5: has to be agile. It has to be able to 137 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 5: address emerging capabilities, new training methods, etc. And part of 138 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 5: that involves helping to educate and instill and empower a 139 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 5: trustworthy culture at a company so you can spot those 140 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 5: issues so you can ask the right questions at the 141 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 5: right time if you try. We talked about during the 142 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 5: Senate hearing, and IBM's been talking for years about regulating 143 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 5: the use, not the technology itself, because if you try 144 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: to regulate technology, you're very quickly going to find out 145 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 5: regulation will absolutely never keep up with that. 146 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 4: And so in your testimony to Congress. You also talked 147 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 4: about this idea of a precision regulation approach for AI. 148 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 4: Tell me more about this. What is a precision regulation 149 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: approach and why could that be so important. 150 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 5: It's funny because I was able to share with Congress 151 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 5: our precision regulation point of view in twenty twenty three, 152 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 5: but that precision regulation point of view was published by 153 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 5: IBM in twenty twenty. So we have not changed our 154 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 5: position that you should apply the tightest controls, the strictest 155 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 5: regulatory requirements to the technology where the end use and 156 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 5: risk of societal harm is the greatest. So that's essentially 157 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 5: what it is. There's lots of AI technology that's used 158 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 5: today that doesn't touch people, that's very low risk in nature. 159 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 5: And even when you think about AI that delivers a 160 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 5: movie recommendation versus AI that is used to diagnose cancer, right, 161 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 5: there's very different implications associated with those two uses of 162 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 5: the technology. And so essentially what precision regulation is is 163 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 5: apply different rules to different risks, right, more stringent regulation 164 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 5: to the use cases with the greatest risk. And then 165 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 5: also we build that out calling for things like transparency 166 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 5: you see it today with content right, misinformation and the like. 167 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,479 Speaker 5: We believe that consumers should always know when they're interacting 168 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 5: with an AI system, so be transparent, don't hydrar AI 169 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 5: clearly define the risks. So as a country, we need 170 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 5: to have some clear guidance right in globally as well 171 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 5: in terms of which uses of AI are higher risk 172 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 5: where we'll apply higher and stricter regulation and have sort 173 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 5: of a common understanding of what those high risk uses 174 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 5: are and then demonstrate the impact in the cases of 175 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 5: those higher risk uses. So companies who are using AI 176 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 5: in spaces where they can impact people's legal rights, for example, 177 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 5: should have to conduct an impact assessment that demonstrates that 178 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 5: the technology isn't biased. So we've been pretty clear about 179 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 5: apply the most stringent regulation to the highest risk uses 180 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 5: of AI. 181 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 4: And so so far we've been talking about your congressional 182 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 4: testimony in terms of, you know, the specific content that 183 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: you talked about, But I'm just curious on a personal level, 184 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 4: you know, what was that like right like, right now 185 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 4: it feels like at a policy level, like there's a 186 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 4: kind of fever pitch going on with AI right now. 187 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: You know what did that feel like to kind of 188 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 4: really have the opportunity to talk to policy makers and 189 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 4: sort of influence what they're thinking about AI technologies like 190 00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 4: in the coming century. 191 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 5: Perhaps I was really an honor to be able to 192 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 5: do that and to be one of the first set 193 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 5: of invitees to the first hearing. And what I learned 194 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: from it essentially is, you know, really two things. The 195 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 5: first is really the value of authenticity. So both as 196 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 5: an individual and as a company, I was able to 197 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 5: talk about what I do. You know, I didn't need 198 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 5: a lot of advanced prep right, I talked about what 199 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 5: my job is, what IBM has been putting in place 200 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 5: for years now. So this isn't about creating something. This 201 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 5: was just about showing up and being authentic. And we 202 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 5: were invited for a reason. We were invited because we 203 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 5: were one of the earliest companies in the AI technology space. 204 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 5: We're the oldest technology company and we are trusted, and 205 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 5: that's an honor. And then the second thing I came 206 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 5: away with was really how important this issue is to society. 207 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 5: I don't think I appreciated it as much until following 208 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 5: that experience. I had outreached from colleagues I hadn't worked 209 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 5: with for years. I had an outreach from family members 210 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 5: who heard me on the radio. You know, my mother 211 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 5: and my mother in law, and my nieces and nephews 212 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 5: and my friends of my kids were all like, Oh, 213 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 5: I get it. I get what you do. Now, Wow, 214 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 5: that's pretty cool, you know. So that was really probably 215 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 5: the best and most impactful takeaway that I had. 216 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: The mass adoption of generative AI, happening at breakneck speed, 217 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 3: has spurred societies and governments around the world to get 218 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 3: serious about regulating AI. For businesses, compliance is complex enough already, 219 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 3: but throw aever involving technology like AI into the mix, 220 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: and compliance itself becomes an exercise in adaptability. As regulators 221 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 3: seek greater accountability in how AI is used, businesses need 222 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 3: help creating governance processes comprehensive enough to comply with the law, 223 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: but agile enough to keep up with the rapid rate 224 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: of change in AI development. Regulatory scrutiny isn't the only 225 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: consideration either responsible AI governance. A business's ability to prove 226 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: its AI models are transparent and explainable is also key 227 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 3: to building trust with customers, regardless of industry. In the 228 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 3: next part of their conversation, Laurie asked Christina what businesses 229 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: should consider when approaching AI governance. Let's listen. 230 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 4: So what's a particular role that businesses are playing in 231 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 4: AI governance? Like why is it so critical for businesses 232 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: to be part of this? 233 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 5: So I think it's really critically important that businesses understand 234 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 5: the impacts that technology can have, both in making them 235 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 5: better businesses, but the impacts that those technologies can have 236 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 5: on the consumers that they are supporting. You know, businesses 237 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: need to be deploying AI technology that is in alignment 238 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 5: with the goals that they set for it, and that 239 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 5: can be trusted. I think for us and for our clients, 240 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 5: a lot of this comes back to trust in tech. 241 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 5: If you deploy something that doesn't work, that hallucinates, that discriminates, 242 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 5: that isn't transparent, where decisions can't be explained, then you 243 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 5: are going to very rapidly erode the trust at best 244 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 5: right of your clients and at worst for yourself. You're 245 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 5: going to create legal and regulatory issues for yourself as well. 246 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 5: So trusted technology is really important, and I think there's 247 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 5: a lot of pressure on businesses today to move very 248 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 5: rapidly and adopt technology. But if you do it without 249 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 5: having a program of governance in place, you're really risking 250 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 5: eroding that trust. 251 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 4: And so this is really where I think a strong 252 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 4: AI governance comes in. Talk about from your perspective, how 253 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 4: this really contributes to maintaining the trust that customers and 254 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 4: stakeholders have in these technologies. 255 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean you need to have a governance 256 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 5: program because you need to understand and that the technology, 257 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 5: particularly in the AI space, that you are deploying, is explainable. 258 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 5: You need to understand why it's making decisions and recommendations 259 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 5: that it's making, and you need to be able to 260 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 5: explain that to your consumers. I mean, you can't do 261 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 5: that if you don't know where your data is coming from, 262 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 5: what data are you using to train those models, if 263 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 5: you don't have a program that manages the alignment of 264 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 5: your AI models over time to make sure as AI 265 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 5: learns and evolves over uses, which is in large part 266 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 5: what makes it so beneficial that it stays in alignment 267 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 5: with the objectives that you set for the technology over time. 268 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 5: So you can't do that without a robust governance process 269 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 5: in place. So we work with clients to share our 270 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 5: own story here at IBM in terms of how we 271 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 5: put that in place, but also in our consulting practice 272 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 5: to help clients work with these new generative capabilities and 273 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 5: foundation model and the like in order to put them 274 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 5: to work for their business in a way that's going 275 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 5: to be impactful to that business, but at the same 276 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 5: time be trusted. 277 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 4: So now I wanted to turn a little bit towards 278 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 4: Watson X governance, and so IBM recently announced their AI 279 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: platform Watson X, which will include a governance component. Could 280 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 4: you tell us a little more about watsonx dot governance. 281 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean before I do that, I'll just back 282 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 5: up and talk about the full platform and then lean 283 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 5: into Watson X because I think it's important to understand 284 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 5: the delivery of a full suite of capabilities, to get data, 285 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 5: to train models, and then to govern them over their 286 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 5: life cycle. All of these things are really important. From 287 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 5: the onset, you need to make sure that you have, 288 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 5: you know, for our WATSONX dot AI for example, that's 289 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 5: the studio to train new foundation models and generative AI 290 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 5: and machine learning capabilities, and we are populating that studio 291 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 5: with some IBM trained foundation models, which we're curating and 292 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 5: tailoring more specifically for enterprises. So that's really important. It 293 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 5: comes back to the point I made earlier about business 294 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 5: trust and the need to have enterprise ready technologies in 295 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 5: the AI space, and then the watsonex dot data is 296 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 5: a fit for purpose data store or a data lake, 297 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 5: and then watsonex dot gov. So that's a particular component 298 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 5: of the platform that my team and the AI Ethics 299 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 5: Board has really worked closely with the product team on developing, 300 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 5: and we're using it internally here in the Chief Privacy 301 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 5: Office as well to help us govern our own uses 302 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 5: of AI technology and our compliance program here. And it 303 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 5: essentially helps to notify you if a model becomes biased 304 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 5: or get out of alignment as you're using it over time. 305 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 5: So companies are going to need these capabilities. I mean 306 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 5: they need them today to deliver technologies with trust. They'll 307 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 5: need them tomorrow to comply with regulation which is on 308 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 5: the horizon. 309 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 4: And I think compliance becomes even more complex when you 310 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 4: consider international data protection laws and regulations. Honestly, I don't 311 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 4: know how anyone on any company legal team is keeping 312 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 4: up with this these days. But my question for you 313 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 4: is really how can businesses develop a strategy to maintain 314 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 4: compliance and to deal with it in this ever changing landscape. 315 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 5: It's increasingly more challenging. In fact, I saw statistic just 316 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 5: this morning that the regulatory obligations on companies have increased 317 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 5: something like seven hundred times in the last twenty years. 318 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 5: So it really is a huge focus area for companies. 319 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 5: You have to have a process in place in order 320 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 5: to do that, and it's not easy, particularly for a 321 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 5: company like IBM that it has a presence in over 322 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 5: one hundred and seven countries around the world. There is 323 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 5: more than one hundred and fifty comprehensive privacy regulations, there 324 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 5: are regulations of non personal data, there are AI regulations emerging, 325 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 5: so you really need an operational approach to it in 326 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 5: order to stay compliant. But one of the things we 327 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 5: do is we set a baseline. And a lot of 328 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 5: companies do this as well. So we define a privacy baseline, 329 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 5: we define an AI baseline, and we ensure then as 330 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 5: a result of that that there are very few deviances 331 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 5: because it incorporates in that baseline. So that's one of 332 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 5: the ways we do it. Other companies I think are 333 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 5: similarly situated in terms of doing that. But again, it 334 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 5: is a real challenge for global companies. It's one of 335 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 5: the reasons why we advocate for as much alignment as 336 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 5: possible on the international realm as well as nationally here 337 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 5: in the US, as much alignment as possible to make 338 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 5: compliance easier for easier and not just because companies want 339 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 5: an easy way to comply. But the harder it is, 340 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 5: the less likely there will be compliance. And it's not 341 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 5: the objective of anybody, governments, companies, consumers to have to 342 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 5: set legal obligations that companies simply can't meet. 343 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: And so what advice would you give to other companies 344 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 4: who are looking to rethink or strengthen their approach to AI. 345 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: Government think you need to start with, as we did, 346 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 5: foundational principles, and you need to start making decisions about 347 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: what technology you're going to deploy and what technology you're not, 348 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 5: what are you going to use it for, and what 349 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 5: aren't you going to use it for, and then when 350 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 5: you do use it, align to those principles. That's really important. 351 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 5: Formalize a program, have someone within the organization, whether it's 352 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 5: the chief Privacy officer, whether it's some other role, a 353 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 5: chief AI ethics officer, but have an accountable individual and 354 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 5: accountable organization. Do a maturity assessment, figure out where you 355 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 5: are and where you need to be, and really start 356 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 5: you know, putting it into place today. Don't wait for 357 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 5: regulation to apply directly to your business because it'll be 358 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 5: too late. 359 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 4: So Smart Talks features new creators, these visionaries like yourself 360 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 4: who are creatively applying technology in business to drive change. 361 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 4: I'm curious if you see yourself as creative. 362 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 5: You know, I definitely do. I mean, you need to 363 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 5: be creative when you're working in an industry that evolves 364 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 5: so very quickly. So you know, I started with IBM 365 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 5: when we were primarily a hardware company, right and we've 366 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 5: changed our business so significantly over the years. And the 367 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 5: issues that are raised with respect to each new technology, 368 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 5: whether it be cloud, whether it be AI now where 369 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 5: we're seeing a ton of issues, or you look at 370 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 5: emergent issues in the space of things like neurotechnologies and 371 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 5: quantum computers. You have to be strategic and you have 372 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 5: to be creative and thinking about how you can adapt 373 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 5: agilely quickly a company to an environment that is changing 374 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 5: so quickly and. 375 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 4: With this transformation happening at such a rapid pace. Do 376 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 4: you think creativity plays a role in how you think 377 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: about and implement, specifically a trustworthy AI strategy. 378 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, I absolutely think it does. Because again it comes 379 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 5: back to these capabilities, and there are ways. I guess 380 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 5: how you define creativity could be different, right, But I'm 381 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 5: thinking of creativity in the sense of sort of agility 382 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 5: and strategic vision and creative problem solving. I think that's 383 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 5: really important in the world that we're in right now, 384 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 5: being able to creatively problem solve with new issues that 385 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 5: are rising sort of every day. 386 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 4: And so, how do you see the role of chief 387 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 4: privacy officer evolving in the future as AI technology continues 388 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 4: to advance, Like what stuff should CPOs take to stay 389 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 4: ahead of all these changes that are come in their way? 390 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 5: So the role is evolving in most companies, I would 391 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 5: say pretty rapidly. Many companies are looking to chief privacy 392 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 5: officers who are ready understand the data that's being used 393 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 5: in the organization and have programs to ensure compliance with 394 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 5: laws that require you to manage that data in accordance 395 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 5: with data protection laws and the like. It's a natural 396 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 5: place and position for AI responsibility. And so I think 397 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 5: what's happening to a lot of chief privacy officers is 398 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 5: they're being asked to take on this AI governance responsibility 399 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 5: for companies and if not take it on at least 400 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 5: play a very key role working with other parts of 401 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 5: the business in AI governance. So that really is changing. 402 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 5: And if chief privacy officers are in companies who maybe 403 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 5: haven't started thinking about AI yet, they should, So I 404 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 5: would encourage them to look at different resources that are 405 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 5: available already in AI governance space. For example, the International 406 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 5: Association of Privacy Professionals, which is the seventy five thousand 407 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 5: member professional body for the profession of Chief Privacy officers, 408 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 5: just recently launched an AI Governance Initiative and an AI 409 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 5: Governance certification program. I sit on their advisory board. But 410 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 5: that's just emblematic of the fact that the field is 411 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 5: changing so rapidly. 412 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 4: And so, you know, speaking of rapid change, when you're 413 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 4: back here on smart Talks in twenty twenty one, you 414 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 4: said that the future of AI will be more transparent 415 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 4: and more trustworthy. You know, what do you see the 416 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 4: next five to ten years holding? You know, when you're 417 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 4: back on smart Talks in you know, twenty twenty six, 418 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 4: you know twenty thirty, you know what are we going 419 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: to be talking about when it comes to AI technology 420 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 4: and governance. 421 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 5: So I try to be an optimist, right and I 422 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 5: said that two years ago, and I think we're seeing 423 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 5: it now come into fruition, and there will be requirements, 424 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 5: whether they're coming from the US, whether they're coming from Europe, 425 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 5: whether they're just coming from voluntary adoption by clients of 426 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 5: things like the NIST Risk Management Framework, really important voluntary frameworks. 427 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 5: You're going to have to adopt transparent and explainable practices 428 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 5: in your uses of AI. So I do see that happening. 429 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 5: And in the next five to ten years, boy, I 430 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 5: think we'll see more research into trust in techniques because 431 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 5: we don't really know, for example, how to water mark. 432 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 5: We're calling for things like watermarking. There'll be more research 433 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 5: into how to do that. I think you'll see you 434 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 5: regulation that's specifically going to require those types of things. 435 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 5: So I think again, I think the regulation is going 436 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 5: to drive research. It's going to drive research into these 437 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 5: areas that will help ensure that we can deliver new capabilities, 438 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 5: generative capabilities, and the life with trust and explainability. 439 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Christina for joining me on smart 440 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 4: Talks to talk about AI and governance. 441 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 5: Well, thank you very much for having me. 442 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 3: To unlock the transformative growth possible with artificial intelligence, businesses 443 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: need to know what they wish to grow into first. 444 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 3: Like Christina said, the best way forward in the AI 445 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 3: future is for businesses to figure out their own foundational 446 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 3: principles around using the technology, drawing on those principles to 447 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 3: apply AI in a way that's ethically consistent with their 448 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 3: mission and complies with the legal frameworks built to hold 449 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 3: the technology accountable. As AI adoption grows more and more widespread, 450 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 3: so too will the expectation from consumers and regulators that 451 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: businesses use it responsibly. Investing independable AI governance is a 452 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: way for businesses to lay the foundations for technology that 453 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 3: their customers can trust while rising to the challenge of 454 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 3: increasing regulatory complexity. Though the emergence of AI does complicate 455 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 3: an already tough compliance landscape, businesses now face a creative 456 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 3: opportunity to set a precedent for what accountability in AI 457 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 3: looks like and rethink what it means to deploy trustworthy 458 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 3: artificial intelligence.
