Millennium Fellowship Project: Responsible AI for All
Artificial Intelligence, a branch of computer science has depicted advantages and disadvantages in academic domain and community at large. Plagiarism, cyber bullying, and impersonation have been witnessed ever since artificial intelligence hit the technology market. My project, Responsible AI for all is aimed at capacity building among students, kids, developers and businesses on responsible use of artificial intelligence to harm nobody in the society. Responsible use of AI principles such as fairness, accountability, privacy ,security, and many more ought to be exercised for a peaceful nation.
