Fostering the EU AI Act | A new dimension in assuring high risk AI

In the evolving AI landscape, the EU AI Act introduces new standards for assuring high-risk AI systems. This presentation will explore the tester's role in navigating these standards, drawing from the latest research and from our experiences with an Automatic Employment Decision System, a high-risk AI. We'll discuss emerging methodologies, conformity assessments, and post-deployment monitoring, offering insights and practical guidance for aligning AI systems with the Act's requirements.

Target Audience: QA Professionals, AI Engineers/Architects, Business Leaders, POs/PMs, Policy Makers
Prerequisites: Basic Understanding of AI, Familiar with Testing, Awareness of EU AI Act, Interest in AI Asurance
Level: Advanced

Extended Abstract:
As the landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) rapidly evolves, the upcoming EU AI Act is set to introduce a new paradigm for assuring high-risk AI systems. This session will allow participants to delve into the pivotal role of testers in this context. We will decode the complexities of the Act and get to see how fostering the Act will ensure robust, transparent, and ethically aligned AI systems.
Drawing on recent research and my own experience in testing high-risk AI systems, I will discuss the emerging methodologies for testing high-risk AI, including explainability methods, robustness testing, and fairness testing. Together, we will also explore the Act's emphasis on conformity assessments and post-deployment monitoring, highlighting the tester's role in these processes. Participants will gain a unique behind-the-scenes look at how we have gone from chaos to order in testing an Automatic Employment Decision System, a high-risk AI.
Joining this session will equip participants with valuable insights and practical guidance on aligning AI systems with the EU AI Act. This is a must-attend for testers, AI developers, and business leaders alike who are navigating this new frontier, exploring the challenges, opportunities, and future directions in the assurance of high-risk AI systems. By the end of the session, participants will be better prepared to face the challenges posed by the EU AI Act and will have a clear understanding of the future directions in the assurance of high-risk AI systems.
