Bill Matthews

Talk Description
While there are a great many resources covering AI from a development perspective, there are few that deal with testing AI-based software despite the challenges and risks this poses. For example:
How do we test software…
- When the decision logic is not clearly defined?
- When the results may be wrong, and that’s OK sometimes
- That learns and adapts based on interactions
- To find the problems that will matter when the input domain is complex and massive
- That may need to collaborate or compete with other AI software.
In this Masterclass, Bill will take you beyond the AI hype and give you a pragmatic and useful perspective of what AI is. You'll then be shown how testing an AI-based application differs from more traditional applications and explore some strategies to help you tackle testing of AI-based applications.
By the end of this session, you'll be able to:
- Define what AI is
- Compare how testing AI-based applications differs from more traditional applications
- List key risks that are unique to AI-based applications
- Use unique strategies to test AI-based applications
