A4: I've seen partnerships where data scientists work with business stakeholders who have traditionally done processes like comment analysis through largely manual means. Enable #NLP automation at key points guided by data scientists and SMEs. #saschat

A1: Methods of interpretability for LLMs... how do we tune these without just throwing more data into the mix? Should we be filtering or doing work pre-filters? #saschat

A4. #1 issue I'm hearing from tax agencies about finding data science talent--We (the agency) can't/don't/won't pay enough. Maybe revisit that a bit more? #SASchat #government #fraud

A5. AI software - such as SAS Viya - has been developed in such a way that employees do not have to be super specialized because most operations are drag-and-drop. #saschat, #government, #fraud, #AI

start with running pilot programs that demonstrate the efficiencies and effectiveness of these solutions and then scale it. And we are good in this. #saschat #fraud

#saschat A3: Govts. can most effectively deploy #AI and #analytics to combat fraud largely by working with a team who can help automate certain aspects of their process. We want to leverage fraud experts for their knowledge, not for mindless rote tasks!

#A2 #saschat Leveraging #textanalytics can greatly assist in manually reading or using ctrl-F through large documents looking for fraud indications. This can flag patterns of risk, for instance, in agreements between #government and its regulated entities.

#A1 #saschat With new methods in #AI come new ways to thwart traditional methods of #fraud prevention. Think about how much more realistic a phishing e-mail from #ChatGPT would sound vs. what you are used to!

#saschat: I think that we could review this entire chat and come up with a set of general recommendations for responsible AI and innovation. Would be a good project for both #government and #commercial. Cheers folks good chatting with you today!

A5: #saschat And if this is embedded in the culture of the organizations... here's some encouragement for people to vote with their choice of spending. #AI

A5: The best ways for innovating responsibly include encouraging collaboration, diverse perspectives, & constructive feedback culturally within the company. This gives employees the agility to be the change and drive equity in AI. #saschat #trustworthyAI #analytics

A5. Enable processes to highlight potential areas of bias within models through interpretability, as well as to work directly with the models to counteract bias and ensure full representation. Keep the ethical human in-the-loop! #saschat #trustworthyAI #government

A4: Yes agree, diversity in #datascience teams overseeing algorithms is a good way to ensure trust in the algorithms. #saschat Lots of good thoughts coming out of this tweet chat I like it.
This is SO important! We need to ensure our data scientist teams AND those in leadership at our orgs are diverse. With more diversity comes more perspectives and more innovation #saschat #trustworthyAI

A4. In one study with the FDA on premarket drug adverse events, we addressed interpretability by enabling subject matter experts to assess and directly influence the models. You can learn more here: communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-G… #saschat #trustworthyAI #government

Q4: How are organizations handling and addressing concerns around bias and unfairness? #TrustWorthyAI #SASchat

A3. I think interpretability of the models, and the ability for a subject matter expert to help correct bias without rewriting the entire input dataset for the models is a huge struggle. It’s a great place where in my direct experience, #SAS can help. #saschat #government
