We have begun grappling with difficult questions related to the rise of AI, including: What rights do individuals have in the age of AI? When should we regulate AI and when should we abstain? What degree of transparency is needed to monitor AI systems? These questions are all concerned with AI accountability: determining who owes responsibility and to whom in the age of AI.

Machine learning holds significant potential for positive societal impact. However, in critical applications involving people such as healthcare, employment, and lending, machine learning raises serious concerns of fairness, robustness, and interpretability. Addressing these concerns is crucial for making machine learning more trustworthy.
