When it comes to data quality, organizations need to focus on the processes employed to oversee their data assets. Unfair biases, present in the data used to train AI models, can result in discriminatory behavior that can put businesses at risk. Businesses must ensure that AI systems are protected against adversarial attacks across their data and algorithms.” “There are issues that companies need to be aware of, such as poor data quality, unfair bias, and lax security to name a few,” she states. Data bias and security also are issues that need to be tackled in AI, Chadha continues. “Companies continue to fall short in attention and commitment to data ethics policies and practices.”

Industry’s argument that plastics are good and essential to a healthy modern lifestyle will be challenged on multiple levels in coming years as the downside of the plastics revolution is tackled more forcefully. A lot of capacity will likely have to be shut down before the projects come on-stream, given the extent of today’s oversupply. The HAC was formed late last year and is expected to underpin the UN INC-1 work. A foundation was laid for a global agreement not simply to end plastic waste but to address the full life cycle of plastics. Some 50 nations are now members of the HAC. It needs a model that is sustainable in terms of both the economy and the environment. A lawsuit brought in France against Danone this week, for example, targets an absolute reduction in plastics use by the food company. The modern world needs plastics, and producers are keen to supply what most see as a healthily growing market over time. The “sunny uplands” view seems to be behind announcements of new projects over the last six months – along with the assumption that today’s record levels of oversupply will cause major rationalisation of less efficient capacity. Using complete lifecycle analysis, we must work out if each of the solutions is carbon positive or negative. “Don’t worry,” I can you hear you saying, “even if Chinese growth slows down to around 2% per year, or even less, the developing world will pick up the slack. The pattern is similar in many other products.
