We held our first policy council using design thinking on Trustworthy AI in Healthcare in San Fransisco, hosted by Databricks.
The participants came from differnt professions - doctors, medical policy, policy and governance, technology, AI investors and AI health users. We had Stanford, Berkley, IEEE, XRSI, and other representations - making this a very successful outcome.
Eight curated exercises, three excellent facilitators and two hours later -
We together:
š Identified perceptions of Trustworthy AIĀ
š Co-created AI use casesĀ
š Identified areas in the AI lifecycle that were like a blackbox
š Looked at characteristics of Trustworthy AI that mattered to us
š Identified trade-offs for Trustworthy AI

Some interesting perspectives -
"We don't have a trust gap - we have a trust vacuum".

"Bias is built into AI - we cannot remove it"

"We need a shared responsibility model". "Technology moves at a pace that leaves the technologists behind [and policy makers!]"

Another program coming toĀ Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyĀ on 7-August, 2025: Registration Link for the Boston Workshop (limited spaces):Ā https://lnkd.in/d9w22ueu
