Responsible and Transparent Approaches to AI in Biometric Algorithm
Join the Department of Homeland Security and IDEMIA as they discuss how to bring security and transparency to the AI used in biometric algorithms.
The White House Executive Order for New Standards for AI Safety and Security and the Department of Homeland Security’s IT Strategic Plan includes the actions to ensure AI systems are safe, secure, and trustworthy, used responsibly, and address algorithmic discrimination. In this webinar, speakers will delve into the development and training of biometric matching algorithms and steps you can take to mitigate bias. The impact of bias includes false matching to another person and denial of access to services, and places an undue burden on the individual to overcome the obstacles they encounter due to this gap in the AI-enabled technology.
Webinar participants will gain the following:
- Insights from Eric Hysen, the Department of Homeland Security's Chief Information Officer & Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer
- An overview of DHS and IDEMIA's commitment to developing fair and ethical technologies
- Case studies sharing real-world improvements to AI algorithms
- An understanding of AI security and regulatory requirements
