MLOps podcast #228 with Mohamed Elgendy, Co-founder & CEO of Kolena Inc., What is AI Quality?

// Abstract

Delve into the multifaceted concept of AI Quality. Demetrios and Mo explore the idea that AI quality is dependent on the specific domain, equitable to the difference in desired qualities between a $1 pen and a $100 pen. Mo underscores the performance of a product being in sync with its intended functionality and the absence of unknown risks as the pillars of AI Quality. They emphasize the need for comprehensive quality checks and adaptability of standards to differing product traits. Issues affecting edge deployments like latency are also highlighted. A deep dive into the formation of gold standards for AI, the nuanced necessities for various use cases, and the paramount need for collaboration among AI builders, regulators, and infrastructure firms form the core of the discussion. Elgendy brings to light their ambitious AI Quality Conference, aiming to set tangible, effective, but innovation-friendly Quality standards for AI. The dialogue also accentuates the urgent need for diversification and representation in the tech industry, the variability of standards and regulations, and the pivotal role of testing in AI and machine learning. The episode concludes with an articulate portrayal of how enhanced testing can streamline the entire process of machine learning.
