Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology, affecting all aspects of society while fundamentally changing how humans live, work and communicate. Although it presents endless opportunities, it also comes with unintended consequences and potential risks, which must be tackled at all stages in the development and rollout of AI systems.
Responsible AI research explores pitfalls of the technology while seeking socio-technical solutions to make machine learning algorithms more trustworthy, safe, and fair. Mila’s researchers actively design solutions aimed at mitigating bias and discrimination, tackling the lack of epistemic humility within large language models, which can confidently state false things.
In addition, Mila’s researchers continue to explore ways of aligning and controlling AI systems, while also improving data privacy across an AI system’s lifecycle. Mila also leads a number of high-level projects through its AI4 Humanity stream. Harnessing the power of machine learning algorithms, Mila is helping to tackle major contemporary challenges such as online human trafficking, modern slavery, and sexist bias in text.
Designed to guide technological innovation in the video game industry, the Ubisoft-Mila Industrial Research Chair explores the ethical use of AI in game development.
At Equal Lab (Mila/McGill University), a team of multidisciplinary experts collaborates in the development of innovative solutions addressing algorithmic biases, in order to ensure fair and ethical AI outcomes in fields such as healthcare and finance.
AI is a powerful tool that affects every aspect of society. Responsible AI principles seek to put in place the necessary safeguards to make sure that this power is harnessed for the common good.
