Welcome Address
Talk 1: Data is emotional - The influence of bias hidden in our data
Abstract: We rely on data for everything and assume that algorithms will give us the correct answer to everything. In this session, we will explore the concept of data bias and its impact on our understanding and perception of the world. Data bias refers to the hidden influences and prejudices that can be present in the data we collect and analyze. It can occur due to various factors, such as the way data is collected, the sample size, or the inherent biases of the people involved in the process. You will learn how data bias can affect our lives in various domains. By relying on biased data, we risk perpetuating unfair practices and reinforcing existing inequalities. When thinking about data it is crucial to recognize and address data bias to ensure fairness and accuracy in our analyses.

Talk 2: Navigating AI Ethics in Software Design
Abstract: Given the potential for AI systems to cause harm when not properly designed and regulated, understanding AI ethics is crucial. It aids in identifying potential risks and developing strategies to mitigate them, thereby minimizing negative consequences such as biases, discrimination, and privacy violations associated with AI deployment.
So, what exactly is AI ethics at SAP? And how is this emerging field being operationalized? What should AI professionals understand about the ongoing discourse to empower individuals and organizations to anticipate and proactively address future challenges? This ensures that AI development and deployment aligns with societal values and norms.
