Hey everyone,

Just a final reminder for today's talk on *April 27th from 12:30-1:30pm*
with  Shalaleh Rismani
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://shalalehrismani.com/about/__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!_8uy7GzYl-6KUDnH4DM9YA4x2WV8Og9of6GXHaeU-cLeD2oxzYFqA7QjTbFlGcJiWfNn0NIZtWhYeeH5mVJKP9Q7Sw$>

*Talk Title: ** How Do AI Systems "break" Socially and Ethically *

*Talk Abstract: *Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) has been used as
an engineering risk assessment tool since 1949. FMEAs are effective in
pre-emptively identifying and addressing how a device might fail and are
often used in the design of high-risk technology applications such as
military, automotive, and medical industries. In this talk, we explore how
FMEAs can be used to identify social and ethical failures of Artificial
Intelligent Systems (AISs) when it is interacting with a human partner. I
will begin by proposing a process for developing a Social FMEAs (So-FMEAs)
by building on the existing FMEA framework and the concept of Social
Failure Modes coined by Millar. Using this proposed process, I will discuss
a simple proof-of-concept focusing on failures in human-AI interaction.

*Speaker Bio:* Shalaleh is a PhD candidate in electrical and computer
engineering at McGill University and Mila where she works on
interdisciplinary research challenges with my colleagues at the Responsible
Autonomy and Intelligent Systems Ethics (RAISE Lab). Her current research
focuses on how development teams can characterize, identify and mitigate
social and ethical failures of machine learning (ML) systems as early as
possible in the ML development process. Moreover, she is interested in
investigating how these types of failures reveal themselves in human-ML
interactions. Prior to starting her PhD, she co-founded Generation R
consulting, a boutique AI ethics consultancy and was a design researcher
with Open Roboethics Institute, on a full time basis.

She is currently the executive director at the Open Roboethics Institute
(ORI)
