Keynote | ModelOps: Monitoring Performance, Economic Benefit, and Social Responsibility

AI and ML have introduced new economic benefits to organizations – but with that comes additional responsibility as well. Organizations have traditionally monitored their modelling efforts with respect to accuracy, system performance, and business value. Now it is time to include additional checks and balances around fairness in modelling. As modelling has become fully integrated into operational processes, there is heightened awareness and increasing regulation around social responsibility with respect to modelling efforts. There is also a need to quantify the investment in modelling resources. The implementation of enhanced decisioning processes help surface inequities and support organizational strategies and objectives. Success involves achieving a balance between profitability and social responsibility.
