The evolution of AI fairness has come a long way.
Started as interdisciplinary research involving philosophy, cognitive science and computer science, FAIRLY is now at the forefront of commercializing these research results into actionable protocols.
OUR MISSION
To make AI work for everyone.
OUR VISION
To automate AI governance, risk and control protocols in day-to-day engineering and in the entire end-to-end model lifecycle.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
For organizations that have prioritized AI projects to create business value, Fairly is an API-driven toolkit that runs independent enterprise-scale, governance, risk, and control protocols. If you don’t manage your AI ethical risk alongside your financial risk, you are guaranteed to fail. Fairly extends model risk management to AI by incorporating protocols for ethical risks with a focus on Fairness, Accountability, Transparency and Explainability.
FAIRLY is platform agnostic and receives data from all major technologies. We have direct integrations into Kubeflow and Google AI Platform and will soon release integrations with AWS SageMaker and Azure Machine Learning.
OUR PEOPLE
We are a diverse multi-disciplinary team based in Canada, in the Toronto-Waterloo innovation corridor. Our team has decades of experience in providing enterprise technology solutions at Fortune 500 companies in addition to expertise in data science, model risk management and AI ethics.
