Abstract

The rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications necessitates the introduction of statistical methods and metrics that can assess their quality, not only from a technical viewpoint (accuracy, sustainability); but also from an ethical viewpoint (explainability, fairness). In this paper, we contribute to fill the gap proposing a set of consistent statistical metrics to measure the Sustainability, Accuracy, Fairness and Explainability of AI applications, integrated in an open-source Python package, which allows their full reproducibility. They are easy to interpret, as are all expressed in percentages of an ideal situation of full compliance. They are agnostic, as they can be applied to any Machine Learning method. They are fully reproducible, by means of the proposed Python safeaipackage, which serves as a convenient development environment for Python programmers.

The AI, Robotics & Automatic Control category is concerned with resources on the research and techniques of artificial intelligence; that is, the creation of machines that exhibit characteristics of human intelligence (e.g., efficient representation of knowledge, reasoning, deduction, problem solving, heuristics, and analysis of contradictory or ambiguous information). Related AI technologies include expert systems, fuzzy systems, natural language processing, speech and pattern recognition, computer vision, decision-support systems, knowledge-bases, and neural networks. Robotics resources are concerned with the design, construction, and operation of robots. Automatic Control resources cover the design and development of regulating processes and systems that replace the necessity of human intervention. Topics include adaptive control, robust control, discrete-event control, dynamic control, fuzzy control, and optimal control. Cybernetics resources are concerned with the control and communication within and between artificial (machine) systems and living or natural systems.
