Anch.AI was founded in 2018 by Anna Fell?nder—a leading expert on the effects of digitalization on organizations, society, and the economy—to determine the ethical and societal risks of AI. Earlier this year, Anch.AI developed a risk assessment platform for businesses to ensure their use of AI is ethical and compliant with forthcoming regulations in the European Union. The customer base ranges from global biopharmaceutical companies, retail businesses, and telecom services providers to government agencies across the Nordic region.

This is a quick, but critical, first screening to discover your organization’s opportunities, potential pitfalls, and ways to release the real power of AI. That is, ethical and sustainable AI for innovation humans can trust. It only takes a minute or two, but the result provides a clear direction for the future. After this, a more in-depth overview can be obtained through our Ethical AI Profiler. But for now: Ready to take the first step? This way forward.

Patrick Bangert, a serial entrepreneur and Vice President at Samsung SDS, understands this better than most executives. Patrick grew up in Malaysia and the Philippines and later lived in the UK, Austria, Nepal, and USA. His worldly exposure helped him understand the potential of technology for the greater human good and exposed him to the importance of ethics in society. Bangert, a published scholar, and polymath, has a Ph.D. in mathematics and physics from University College London. His exposure to “deep” technology in academia culminated in his formation of a startup company, Algorithmica. Algorithmica helped large chemical and oil and gas companies with ML/AI operations. Patrick then joined Samsung SDS, where he spearheads new product leadership for AI including use cases for medical imaging. Patrick has developed a penchant for responsible AI governance throughout his career as a thought leader in AI/ML operations. Recently, he published his own ‘Framework for AI Ethics,’ in which he explores inherent bias within datasets as well as the importance of utility, universality, and virtue within AI governance.
