Abstract

In this session, we dive into the practical reality of implementing AI in the public eye. We will explore why high accuracy is worthless if it comes at the cost of transparency, and how to design systems that can withstand a scrutinizing audit or a sceptical local journalist. Moving beyond abstract ethics, we discuss how to use regulatory frameworks as a roadmap for building robust, fair, and deployment-ready software. Through real-world tales of both spectacular failures and the quiet successes that gave civil servants their time back, you will learn how to turn legal hurdles into your ultimate technical specification.
