At SupWiz, data ethics is a fundamental part of our organization's values. Our CEO, Stephen Alstrup, who is not only an expert in algorithms but also has a background and education in philosophy, and has been passionate about data ethics for decades.
“AI and IT tools in general need to be designed in a way that users remain in full control. To achieve this in e.g., a chatbot, it’s important to not just provide an answer but also highlight the AI confidence score. Then, if the confidence score is low one can forward the question to a human. This is how one can make trustworthy AI. ”
Allowing AI systems to hand over control to humans when uncertain is a fundamental principle rooted in the ethical and practical development of artificial intelligence.
Moreover, AI should be able to explain why it's making certain decisions, similar to your friend explaining the rules of the game.

“Another example is explainable AI, where the chatbot explains why the AI behaves the way it does, and if a human thinks it’s wrong, it can adjust its behavior. This approach sets a good standard not only for AI but for the way IT and human behave.“
