Ritika Gunnar, Vice President, Data and AI, IBM and David Cox, Director, MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, IBM Research AI

Increasingly, dimensions of trust, including fairness, robustness and explainability, are essential to ensure confidence in AI outcomes. Attend this keynote session to hear Ritika Gunnar, Vice President of IBM Data and AI and David Cox, Director of MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab with IBM Research, discuss how and why IBM is pioneering AI solutions people can trust.
