Realising Accountability and Audit of AI Systems Using Knowledge Graphs

All members of the department are welcome: undergraduates, postgraduates, postdocs, teaching staff, technical staff - anyone who would like to attend and learn a little bit about what our speakers do in their research career. Members from other disciplines within the School, and the wider University community, are also welcome to attend.

All PhD students in Chemistry are expected to attend as part of their PhD training.

Realising Accountability and Audit of AI Systems Using Knowledge Graphs
-

This is a past event

To realise accountable AI systems, different types of information from a range of sources need to be recorded throughout the system life cycle. In the RAInS project, we argue that knowledge graphs can support capture and audit of such information; however, the creation of such accountability records must be planned for and performed within different life cycle stages. This seminar covers our provenance-based approach to support not only the capture of accountability information, but also abstract descriptions of accountability plans that guide its collection processes, all as part of a single knowledge graph. The seminar introduces the (1) SAO ontology, a lightweight generic ontology for describing accountability plans and their corresponding accountability traces of computational systems; (2) the RAInS ontology, which extends SAO to model accountability information relevant to the design and implementation stages of AI systems; and (3) the Accountability Fabric, a proof-of-concept implementation of a suite of semantic tools utilising SAO and RAInS to provide a visual interface for designing accountability plans, and managing and auditing accountability records.
