Ensuring Quality in Data & AI: A Comprehensive Approach to Quality in the Age of Data & AI

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), ensuring the quality of AI systems has become a critical aspect of software development. Traditional software quality assurance methodologies must be adapted and extended to address the unique challenges and requirements presented by AI systems. This presentation will delve into the importance of quality assurance in Data & AI, highlighting the differences between traditional software quality and that in Data & AI, and presenting a comprehensive framework for testing and validation in Data & AI projects.

The framework covers five key pillars: data quality, model quality, infrastructure quality, compliance and ethics, and data governance. We will discuss the significance of each pillar, providing real-life examples and practical strategies for implementing effective Quality measures in AI projects. The presentation will also explore the evolving roles and skill sets required in AI-focused Devs, QAs and BAs, addressing the need for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and data governance specialists to work collaboratively with traditional professionals.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the unique challenges in Data & AI, learn how to apply the proposed framework to their own projects, and be better equipped to ensure the reliability, effectiveness, and efficiency of their AI systems.

Key Takeaways

• Understanding the unique quality challenges in AI
• Comprehensive framework for Data & AI quality assurance
• Evolving roles and skill sets in Data & AI-focused projects
• Applying the framework to your own projects
