Towards Engineering Safe and Trustworthy AI Systems

Nowadays, we are witnessing an increasing adoption of Machine Learning (ML) for solving complex real-world problems. However, despite some reports showing that ML models can produce results comparable and even superior to human experts, they are often vulnerable to carefully crafted perturbations and are prone to bias and hallucinations. Ensuring the safety and trustworthiness of systems enabled by machine learning is a very challenging task. In this talk, I will discuss challenges that we should overcome to build safe and trustworthy ML-enabled systems and present some recent solutions that my team has proposed.
