🤔 How did the idea of Giskard AI emerge? 4/N
It's all about the idea isn't it? AI is a relatively new industry. It takes time for standards to appear and for practitioners to adopt them. 🐣
It is also about the need for standards.
My initial background is in civil engineering at École des Ponts ParisTech. If you build a bridge, you expect strict construction standards with structural engineers double-checking every calculation. 🌉
My first work experiences were in finance at EY and Natixis. If you want to estimate the fair valuation of a company, you’d better have accounting standards with auditors verifying every line of the books. 🏦
More recently, I worked in software engineering at Dataiku. If you want to release good software, you need to follow coding & testing standards, with senior engineers reviewing your code and QA specialists verifying your test coverage. 💻
My question is: why are there no established quality standards for AI? 🤓

The good news is that standards are coming!
🇺🇸 NIST: https://lnkd.in/dsaB_iAq
🇫🇷 LNE: https://lnkd.in/dtJXZvh2
🌐 ISO 42001: https://lnkd.in/djVznJDV
What’s your opinion? Are standards helpful to AI practitioners? How soon will they start to be adopted?
