Hello, Hello, Hello. This is Smart Talks with IBM, a podcast from Pushkin Industries,

I Heart Radio, and IBM about what it means to look at today's most challenging problems in a new way.

I'm Malcolm Gabor.

Today I'll be chatting with two IBM experts in artificial intelligence about the company's

approach to building and supporting trustworthy AI as a force for positive change.

I'll be speaking with IBM's chief privacy officer, Christina Montgomery.

She oversees the company's privacy vision and compliance strategy globally.

Looking at things like immunity certificates and vaccine passports. Not what could we do, but what were we

willing as a company to do.

Where were we going to put our skills and our knowledge

and our company brand in response to technologies

that could help provide information in response to the pandemic.

She also co-chairs their AI ethics board.

I'll also be talking with Dr Seth Dobrin,

Global Chief AI Officer at IBM. Seth leads corporate AI strategy and is

responsible for connecting AI development with the creation of business value. Seth is also a member of IBM's AI ethics board.

We want to make sure that the technology behind AI is as fair as possible, is as explainable as possible, is as robust as possible, and

as as privacy preserving as possible.

We'll talk about the need to create AI systems that are fair and address bias and

how we need to focus on trust and transparency to accomplish this. What might the

future look like with an open and diverse ecosystem with

governance across the industry. There's only one way to find out. Let's dive in.
