WPF Deputy Director to present AI Governance tools research regarding measurement of content authenticity in keynote speech

WPF Deputy Director Kate Kaye will present her ongoing research regarding AI Governance in Los Angeles on November 12, 2024 in a keynote talk “Deep fakes, AI, and the Era of Content Authenticity” at the CIMM West event in Los Angeles, a gathering of around 200 media and advertising industry data measurement and analytics professionals. Kaye will discuss emerging developments in AI Governance trends, approaches to measuring content authenticity, and safeguarding against exposure of sensitive data.

The event will serve as an important forum for WPF to share and discuss our ongoing research on synthetic content policy as it relates to privacy and data and AI governance. The event will also serve as a way to inform this research by gleaning knowledge from practitioners implementing AI Governance Tools on the ground in real-life situations.

This research follows on the extensive work documented in the WPF report Risky Analysis: An international review of AI Governance Tools and suggestions for pathways forward, co – authored by Kate Kaye and Pam Dixon, published 15 December 2023. Additional work this year by Kaye has taken a closer look at on-the-ground implementations of AI governance in Chile, Canada, and elsewhere in WPF’s AI Governance on the Ground article series and in our Privacy on the Ground podcasts.

New Report: Risky Analysis: Assessing and Improving AI Governance Tools

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new WPF report, “Risky Analysis: Assessing and Improving AI Governance Tools.” This report sets out a definition of AI governance tools, documents why and how these tools are critically important for trustworthy AI, and where these tools are around the world. The report also documents problems in some AI governance tools themselves, and suggests pathways to improve AI governance tools and create an evaluative environment to measure their effectiveness. AI systems should not be deployed without simultaneously evaluating the potential adverse impacts of such systems and mitigating their risks, and most of the world agrees about the need to take precautions against the threats posed. The specific tools and techniques that exist to evaluate and measure AI systems for their inclusiveness, fairness, explainability, privacy, safety and other trustworthiness issues — called in the report collectively AI governance tools – can improve such issues. While some AI governance tools provide reassurance to the public and to regulators, the tools too often lack meaningful oversight and quality assessments. Incomplete or ineffective AI governance tools can create a false sense of confidence, cause unintended problems, and generally undermine the promise of AI systems. The report contains rich background details, use cases, potential solutions to the problems discussed in the report, and a global index of AI Governance Tools.
