Problem
Solving
1. problems worth solving are always somebody's problem
2. insight, ideation, and iteration are techniques
4. countering cognitive and organizational inertia IS everything
3. creativity can be cultivated

"How Might We..." Questions
Title Text
"HMW..." Questions
...make AI fair?
...test whether consumer behavior responds to a rating scale?
...acquire cough syrup sales data?
Iteration (and prototyping)
Heidegger(?): Existence is a dialog with the world and the nobler activity is to listen.
What can we build as a proof of concept prototype to find out whether our idea is even real?
What can we build that will allow us to gauge cultural and political reactions to our idea?
What can we build to help decide between forks in the road that we know are coming?
What can we build to align our team so we know we are all on the proverbial same page?

so many principles
Â
vigilant activist orgs look for (ab)use cases
corporate defs of "fairness" fall flat
"fairness" means different things
nobody has a clue as to what "quality" means in AI/ML
"fairness" is political & legal, not technical concept
four separate problems here: metric, business case, technology, connectionsÂ
| status quo means/ underlying ends |
| wrong analogy; not adult:child::big:small |
| limiting reactant X doesn't scale |
| why, why, because, because? intervene upstream |
| counter intuitive priority; customer need inversion |

startup building ML to validate models is struggling to find customers who understand value
Upper mgt don't get why outside entity is needed: "Our engineers can do this."
procurement cannot persuade legal this cert mark will suffice for its due diligence around AI/ML product
An AI company won't sign up to use certification until it's peers do; neither will they.

STARTING POINT
How might we create an entity that could deploy a globally recognized framework that validates and certifies AI tools and technologies as responsible, trustworthy, ethical and fair?
Too big, too complex, too gnarly.
Our brains start firing.
In all different directions.

Prototype to find out if this is a thing - is there anything resembling a "process" out there? Could we adapt it? Would there be any attraction to, say, legal or procurement?

HMW use legal's due diligence protocol to inform the validation and certification process?
A government procurement officer cannot persuade their legal team that cert mark would suffice for due diligence with respect to a vendor's product.
HMW empower procurement to be more persuasive?
HMW change the rules so that cert mark is what is required?
