Abstract: 

A key challenge in driving widespread production use of AI is enabling Visibility and Insights into AI systems. There is a need to be able to explain how and why the systems are behaving, learning and evolving even as newer technologies continue to be developed and deployed in the creation of those AI systems. This session focuses on the techniques and challenges in the industry and how IBM is approaching them.
