Ask Your Vendor. I'll Wait.

​Every compliance webinar this quarter is forty minutes of "January 1 is coming." This is not that. I'm taking one real business, live, in front of everyone, and asking where a machine touches a decision about a person. Who chose the tool. Where its training data came from. What happens when someone asks why it decided what it decided. They have agreed to be shown not-knowing, in public. Nothing is rehearsed. You will watch a competent operator go quiet. Somewhere in the middle of it you will start running the same inventory on your own company, which is the entire point. What you leave with: the four questions, in writing. Ask them of your own vendors on Wednesday. Who this is for: anyone whose business uses an automated system to make or shape a decision about a person—hiring, screening, lending, pricing, eligibility, claims, admissions. And anyone who sells to a company that does, and has started getting procurement questionnaires they cannot answer. If your AI writes marketing copy, this is not for you, and I would rather say so now than take your hour. Sixty minutes. Bring a notebook.
