reached to Zagreb, in Croatia, which was
900 miles (1450 km) away from her desired
destination.

Basic Questions…. AN AI RISK MANAGER SHOULD ASK

@pieroleo
AI systems
should use
training data
and models that
are free of bias,
to avoid unfair
treatment of
certain groups.
AI systems
should be safe
and secure, not
vulnerable to
tampering or
compromising
the data they
are trained on.
AI systems
should provide
decisions or
suggestions that
can be
understood by
their users and
developers.
AI systems should
include details of
their development,
deployment, and
maintenance so
they can be
audited throughout
their lifecycle.

How to manage risks in AI is
one of the Major working
groups of standard
committees

@pieroleo
• Serve as the focus and proponent for JTC 1's
standardization program on Artificial Intelligence
• Provide guidance to JTC 1, IEC, and ISO committees
developing Artificial Intelligence applications
