00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:02,480
Lesson tracking AI system performance.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:08,600
Post-deployment tracking AI system performance post-deployment is crucial for ensuring that artificial

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:14,480
intelligence applications continue to operate effectively, ethically, and safely over time.

4
00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:21,110
Once an AI system is deployed, it transitions from a controlled development environment into a dynamic,

5
00:00:21,110 --> 00:00:27,440
real world context where it is exposed to a broader range of variables and unforeseen circumstances.

6
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:33,170
This necessitates ongoing performance monitoring to detect and address issues such as model drift bias

7
00:00:33,170 --> 00:00:34,790
and system degradation.

8
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:41,270
Effective tracking of AI performance involves a combination of technical, ethical, and regulatory

9
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:45,620
considerations, each contributing to the overall governance of AI systems.

10
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:50,210
Model drift is a common challenge faced post-deployment.

11
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:56,150
It occurs when the statistical properties of the target variable change over time, resulting in a decrease

12
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:57,560
in the model's accuracy.

13
00:00:57,830 --> 00:01:04,160
This can be due to various factors such as changes in user behavior, market dynamics, or environmental

14
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,030
conditions.

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:11,540
For instance, an AI model designed for fraud detection in financial transactions may become less effective

16
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:13,940
if fraudsters adopt new tactics.

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,910
Therefore, continuous monitoring and periodic retraining of the model with updated data are essential

18
00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:22,490
to maintain its accuracy and reliability.

19
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:29,030
Automated monitoring systems can alert data scientists to significant deviations in the model's performance

20
00:01:29,030 --> 00:01:31,910
metrics, enabling timely interventions.

21
00:01:33,830 --> 00:01:38,690
Bias detection and mitigation are critical in post-deployment performance tracking.

22
00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:46,010
AI systems can inadvertently perpetuate or even exacerbate existing biases present in the training data.

23
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,040
These biases can lead to unfair or discriminatory outcomes, which are particularly problematic in high

24
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,060
stakes applications such as hiring, lending, and law enforcement.

25
00:01:56,090 --> 00:02:02,090
Researchers have highlighted instances where facial recognition systems exhibit higher error rates for

26
00:02:02,090 --> 00:02:06,890
certain demographic groups, raising concerns about their fairness and equity.

27
00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:13,640
Post-deployment monitoring must include tools and techniques for bias detection, such as fairness metrics

28
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:16,760
that assess disparate impact across different groups.

29
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,910
Additionally, organizations should implement governance frameworks that mandate regular audits and

30
00:02:22,910 --> 00:02:26,150
corrective actions to address identified biases.

31
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:32,570
System degradation over time is another aspect that needs to be closely monitored.

32
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,600
AI models can degrade due to several reasons, including software updates, changes in hardware, or

33
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,310
evolving user interactions.

34
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:46,820
Degradation can manifest as increased error rates, slower response times, or reduced user satisfaction.

35
00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:53,180
For example, a recommendation system for an e-commerce platform might start suggesting less relevant

36
00:02:53,180 --> 00:02:58,850
products if it is not periodically updated with new purchasing trends and user preferences.

37
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,300
Establishing key performance indicators that align with the systems objectives can help in tracking

38
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:07,010
its health and effectiveness.

39
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:12,680
Regular performance reviews and user feedback can provide valuable insights for timely maintenance and

40
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,640
improvements.

41
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,290
Beyond technical performance, ethical considerations play a vital role in post-deployment tracking.

42
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:27,280
The ethical implications of AI systems extend to privacy, transparency, and accountability.

43
00:03:27,310 --> 00:03:33,520
Ensuring that AI systems adhere to ethical standards requires continuous oversight and governance.

44
00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:39,910
For instance, data privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation mandate stringent

45
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:42,160
measures for handling personal data.

46
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,980
AI systems must be designed and monitored to comply with these regulations, preventing unauthorized

47
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:49,870
data access and misuse.

48
00:03:50,260 --> 00:03:55,960
Transparency is also crucial as it fosters trust and allows stakeholders to understand the decision

49
00:03:55,990 --> 00:03:58,270
making processes of AI systems.

50
00:03:58,690 --> 00:04:04,330
Implementing explainable AI techniques can enhance transparency by providing clear and interpretable

51
00:04:04,330 --> 00:04:07,750
insights into how the system arrives at specific decisions.

52
00:04:09,820 --> 00:04:14,860
Regulatory compliance is integral to the post-deployment tracking of AI systems.

53
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,460
Governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly recognizing the need for robust AI governance frameworks.

54
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,850
These frameworks often include guidelines and standards for AI system performance, safety, and ethics.

55
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,940
For instance, the European Commission's proposed Artificial Intelligence Act outlines requirements

56
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:39,940
for high risk AI systems, including continuous monitoring and reporting of performance metrics.

57
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:45,520
Compliance with such regulations necessitates a comprehensive approach to tracking that encompasses

58
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,090
data management, audit trails, and documentation.

59
00:04:49,570 --> 00:04:56,350
Organizations must establish processes to ensure that their AI systems meet the regulatory requirements,

60
00:04:56,350 --> 00:05:00,280
and are prepared for audits and assessments by external authorities.

61
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:06,910
Real world examples underscore the importance of effective post-deployment tracking.

62
00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:13,300
The case of Compas, a risk assessment tool used in the US criminal justice system, highlights the

63
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,390
potential consequences of inadequate monitoring.

64
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:22,780
Studies revealed that Compas exhibited significant racial bias, with higher false positive rates for

65
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:25,810
African American defendants compared to white defendants.

66
00:05:26,590 --> 00:05:32,440
This finding sparked widespread criticism and underscored the need for rigorous post-deployment evaluation

67
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,540
to identify and address such issues.

68
00:05:35,140 --> 00:05:41,260
Another example is the use of AI in predictive policing, where biased data can lead to disproportionate

69
00:05:41,290 --> 00:05:43,300
targeting of certain communities.

70
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,240
Continuous performance tracking and bias audits are essential to mitigate these risks and ensure that

71
00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:52,450
AI systems contribute positively to society.

72
00:05:54,340 --> 00:06:00,310
In conclusion, tracking AI system performance post-deployment is a multifaceted endeavor that encompasses

73
00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:03,340
technical, ethical, and regulatory dimensions.

74
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:09,130
Addressing model drift bias, and system degradation is essential for maintaining the effectiveness

75
00:06:09,130 --> 00:06:11,470
and fairness of AI applications.

76
00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:17,770
Ethical considerations, including privacy, transparency, and accountability, must be integrated

77
00:06:17,770 --> 00:06:22,750
into the monitoring processes to uphold public trust and compliance with regulations.

78
00:06:23,020 --> 00:06:28,270
Real world examples demonstrate the critical need for ongoing oversight to prevent adverse outcomes

79
00:06:28,270 --> 00:06:32,650
and ensure that AI systems operate in alignment with societal values.

80
00:06:33,190 --> 00:06:39,520
