How are large companies like eBay implementing ethical and responsible AI practices? Find out in this week's #PeopleOfACM profile as we interview Lauren Wilcox, a Senior Director and Distinguished Applied Scientist at eBay. In her interview, Wilcox explains how eBay advances #AIsafety and responsibility directly as part of its AI/ML model development and evaluation efforts. She also outlines why she believes it is time to change the #peerreview process for #computerscience research. Wilcox was recently named an ACM Distinguished Member for contributions to research in responsible AI, human–computer interaction, and health informatics.
