Join a panel of AI experts as we wrestle with the topics of law, policy and legislation in a rapidly evolving landscape. What does good look like for AI transparency and explainability? How do we prepare ourselves for the next AI Act? And how do we ensure we mitigate against unintended consequences when building AI based solutions?
Alex has been founding and building technology companies since 2003, focusing on mobile, data, and machine learning (ML). While developing a startup that delivered personalized news article recommendations to hundreds of millions of readers across national and regional publications, he experienced firsthand the challenges of scaling model deployment infrastructure.
