ABOUT THE AI QUALITY TRAINING COURSE

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in commercial and mission critical applications. AI has not only been successfully applied in customer facing products and services, but also within companies to improve maintenance and skills management. However, there also have been devastating failures with dramatic consequences for users’ health, damage to reputation, and leading to loss of assets. Unfortunately, existing software-centric methods of testing and quality assurance have thus far failed to appropriately address the black box nature of AI. Such methods are not even able to accurately quantify the risks associated with AI components. Given these shortcomings, what should companies do to benefit from AI technology while keeping exposure to risk under control?

TÜV SÜD’s AI Quality Management System (AI-QMS) offers a transparent and objective framework to identify, manage, and mitigate risks associated with AI technologies. It defines an AI specific life cycle model for development and operation of AI based products and services, which covers both AI technology and AI data.

The AI-QMS guides you through the selection of quality goals and assists monitoring by defining conditions of acceptability in response to common pitfalls at each life cycle phase. The successful adoption of the AI-QMS can earn you a quality mark which elevates trustworthiness and minimises uncertainty.

The AI Quality Management Training provides a comprehensive overview on how to successfully apply a quality management system for AI. It provides a background on common AI techniques and list pitfalls and best practices. The knowledge gained in this training will help the learner to apply the methods in their own context and successfully launch AI based products and services.

Duration: 2-day course
