Challenge or Risk Example
Bias can affect results A loan-approval model discriminates by gender due to bias in the data with which it was trained
Errors may cause harm An autonomous vehicle experiences a system failure and causes a collision
Data could be exposed A medical diagnostic bot is trained using sensitive patient data, which is stored insecurely
Solutions may not work for everyone A home automation assistant provides no audio output for visually impaired users
Users must trust a complex system An AI-based financial tool makes investment recommendations - what are they based on?
Who's liable for AI-driven decisions? An innocent person is convicted of a crime based on evidence from facial recognition – who's responsible?
