Building Trustworthy and Efficient AI: A Societal Imperative for Fairness and Progress.
The Department of Artificial Intelligence at ITU invites you to an insightful session with Professor Atif Azad, Professor of Artificial Intelligence at Birmingham City University.
As AI increasingly shapes decisions across society, a critical question arises: can machines uphold fairness, equity, and justice where humans have struggled?
Despite achieving over 90% accuracy, AI systems—when deployed at scale—can amplify bias and inequality, turning small errors into significant societal consequences. This talk will explore the deeper challenge: building AI systems that are not only efficient, but just.
Professor Azad, a globally recognized researcher in Evolutionary Computation and AI, brings extensive academic, industry, and policy experience, with contributions aligned to the UK’s National AI and Digital Strategies and a research portfolio exceeding £3 million.
Join this important conversation on shaping AI that is fair, transparent, and responsible.
