The Quality Assurance of Artificial Intelligence: How to Test the Tests!
Many companies are asking the question: "What can AI do to improve our QA practices?" But is this the right question? David believes that as QA practitioners the real question is "How should we be preparing to efficiently test emerging and complex ML an AI systems?" AI testing is different from traditional testing because AI systems are not static, but dynamic and adaptive. They learn from data and feedback, and change their behavior accordingly. This means that AI testing must account for the variability and unpredictability of AI systems, and ensure that they are not only functional, but also reliable, ethical, and aligned with industry-specific requirements. In this presentation, David will discuss some of the challenges and differences surrounding AI testing. AI testing must be approached differently than traditional testing, by using new techniques and tools. The session will review some examples of these. Additionally, AI testing is a rapidly evolving and expanding field, with many opportunities and challenges for the future. It is important for quality engineers and testers to adapt to the new paradigm of AI testing and to acquire the skills and competencies needed to ensure the quality and reliability of AI systems. We live in exciting times and the revolution is now!
