Shiran Dudy
Welcome! I am a Research Scientist at Northeastern University, specializing in natural language processing (NLP) and speech processing, with a strong focus on promoting Responsible AI (RAI) and AI auditing and AI literacy in particular at the Institute for Experiential AI.
But, what is AI Auditing? It’s the process of examining and assessing artificial intelligence (AI) systems to ensure they are reliable, ethical, and compliant with regulations.
One form of auditing I work on revolves around understanding cultural representation within GenAI systems. I explore how well non-dominant cultures and values are represented. Another form is through evalauting AI systems how well they mediate real-world opprotunities as they gradually replace traditional search engines. I also have been working on auditing AI-based services such as Uber in collaboration with Eticas to measure real-world impact on communities.
I have been working on AI literacy initiatives to promote civic engagement on AI decisions that are effecting all of us.
In my role as a technical lead in the RAI consulting services at EAI, I help companies ensure their development of AI systems is safe, robust, and equitable. Through these efforts, I aim to ensure that new technologies serve all communities fairly and responsibly.
