Making greater use of big data with artificial intelligence (AI) methods is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage for individuals, businesses, and countries alike. Despite the technical and expertise-related obstacles to implementation, we have seen AI deliver improvements in system autonomy and efficiency across many industries. In the financial space, use cases span front-office automation, fraud detection and prevention, portfolio optimization and robo-advisory, market data analysis, just to name a few.
As governments start placing AI on national agendas and shaping regulation around this emerging technology, the issues of operational stability, resilience, and compliance of the newly introduced implementations becomes especially acute. The push to capitalise on copious opportunities and use cases is set against the need to mitigate potential risks and craft a delicate balance between innovation and accountability. As leaders in the field of AI and data become clearly defined in the regulated space, so should their dedicated AI Testing capabilities – to help augment their value and ensure informed design, deployment, operation, and ongoing evolution of AI systems.
On 22 April, Iosif Itkin, CEO & Co-Founder of Exactpro, will introduce the concept of an "AI Testing Center of Excellence in Your Organisation."
📅 22 April
⏰ 14:00 BST
📍 Zoom Meeting
Iosif will review the steps involved in building an AI Testing Center of Excellence and explore why applying the Zero Outage Industry Standard (ZOIS) four-pillar system – People, Processes, Platforms, and Security – is key to successful implementation.
The session will also cover topics such as best practices for quality assessment of non-deterministic systems and address the concepts of transparency, explainability, interpretability, autonomy, and human intervention – as ways to embed resilience and quality at every stage of the software delivery process.
Key Takeaways:
✔ Understanding the role of software testing as an information service in delivering large-scale, non-deterministic, mission-critical systems
✔ Obtaining industry-tested strategies to mitigate quality challenges in complex AI implementations
✔ Exploring an AI toolkit for managing system complexity, optimising testing workflows, and enhancing testing efficiency, speed, and accuracy.
This event is part of our AI Testing Course webinar series. The course is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to succeed in AI-powered software testing and provide the tools to develop and test AI systems. The course is offered in three formats – Autonomous, Guided and Accelerated – and brings the ISTQB® syllabus to life through interactive materials and real-world case studies.
