Welcome to the Nested Model for AI Design and Validation repository! This project introduces a comprehensive framework designed to address the complexities of AI regulation and governance. Our model emphasizes trust, transparency, fairness, and the mitigation of discrimination issues in AI systems.
The nested model consists of five interconnected layers, each addressing a specific aspect of AI design and validation:
-
Regulation Layer
- Ensures compliance with existing regulations and ethical standards.
- Serves as the foundational layer for subsequent design and validation processes.
-
Domain Layer
- Focuses on the specific requirements and constraints of the domain where the AI will be applied.
- Ensures relevance and effectiveness of the AI system in its intended context.
-
Data Layer
- Addresses the quality, representativeness, and fairness of the data used for training and validating models.
- Aims to prevent biases and enhance model performance.
-
Model Layer
- Deals with the technical specifics of the AI model, including architecture, parameters, and interpretability.
- Ensures robustness and reliability of the model.
-
Prediction Layer
- Focuses on the accuracy and reliability of model predictions, ensuring alignment with intended use cases.
- Interactive Nested Model: Explore the nested model interactively and understand its layers and functionalities.
- Comprehensive Framework: A holistic approach that integrates technical, ethical, regulatory, and societal factors.
- Recommendations for Practitioners:
- Distinguishing contributions across layers.
- Explicitly stating assumptions to provide context.
- Promoting rigorous testing and validation for compliance and reliability.
