Consumers are hungry for content. Platforms must feed that appetite. And they're using AI to manage the huge volumes of content as efficiently as possible. The challenge? Making AI act responsibly. Listen as Martin Stoddart, Principal Director of Platform Experience, Accenture Software & Platforms’ and Principal Director for the Software and Platforms group, and Rumman Chowdhury, Accenture's Responsible AI Lead, explore some of the ethical risks and opportunities that companies face when introducing AI into their content operations. AI can have a huge impact on the productivity of content operations. But those gains can be seriously damaged if the work AI does to review, label and moderate content replicates and entrenches human bias. Responsible AI aims to eliminate that threat. In this podcast, you'll hear how platforms can make sure they design their AI to act in the consumers' and platform's best interests. Learn more: accntu.re/2rcahwW

Computer vision is like human vision with superpowers. From autonomous vehicles to new retail applications, it's opening new vistas of opportunity. But to realize them requires rigorous training. Listen as Matthew Quinlan, Principal Director of Geospatial Platforms, Accenture Software & Platforms and Principal Director of Geospatial Platforms, Accenture Software & Platforms and Global Geospatial Platforms Lead at Accenture and Daryn Nakhuda, CEO of Mighty AI, explore the challenges involved in making sure that computer vision algorithms are trained using the data and machine learning techniques they need to operate in complex visual environments. In this podcast, you'll hear about the wide range of factors that need to be considered when it comes to realizing computer vision's potential. Identifying the terabytes of data required for a specific use case is just the start. Synthetic data can augment visual information captured from real world environments. And all that data has to be labelled precisely, and at scale, before it can be loaded into a deep learning framework to start creating models for testing.
