About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're excited to have Dr. Sarah Peterson, an expert in AI testing and the lead instructor for the Certified Specialist Programme in AI Test Design. Sarah, can you tell us a bit about this course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Thanks for having me! The AI Test Design course is designed to equip software testers, AI engineers, and data scientists with the skills to design robust and efficient tests for AI systems. I've seen a growing need for expertise in AI testing, as more organizations adopt AI technologies. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends related to AI testing that course participants should be aware of? GUEST: Absolutely. One trend is the increasing importance of model validation and bias detection in AI testing. As AI systems become more prevalent, ensuring their fairness and accuracy is crucial. Another trend is the growing adoption of test automation and performance testing specifically tailored for AI. HOST: Interesting. As professionals in this field, what are some challenges you've faced or observed when it comes to AI testing and test design? GUEST: A significant challenge is the rapidly evolving nature of AI technologies, which can make it difficult to stay up-to-date with the latest methodologies and best practices. Additionally, AI testing often requires a strong understanding of both the underlying AI models and the data they use, which can be complex and challenging to master. HOST: That's true. Now, let's look to the future. How do you see the field of AI testing and test design evolving in the next 5-10 years? GUEST: I believe we'll see even greater automation and integration of AI testing into the software development lifecycle. There will also be a growing focus on explainability and interpretability of AI models, which will require new testing approaches. Moreover, ethical and responsible AI testing will become increasingly important as AI systems become more pervasive in our lives.
