Job Description:
AI-powered systems are increasingly being used to replace or
augment human decision-making across a broad range of industries.
These systems already impact many aspects of our lives and will
continue to grow in their influence over the next two decades.
Therefore, ensuring the reliability, safety, security, fairness,
and understandability of these systems is critical. To date, tools
to ensure that AI-powered systems meet these standards have lagged
behind the tools used to develop them. This has led to two common
outcomes: deployment of AI-powered systems without proper
verification and validation, or conversely, failure to deploy a
system after costly development time and resources due to a lack of
trust in the system by stakeholders. This is where CalypsoAI comes
in. We are building a suite of products and tools to facilitate the
deployment of trustworthy AI by focusing on rigorous verification
and validation testing. The ideal candidate: We are hiring for our
