49、arties.AI Considerations and Guidelines Verint has established a framework of considerations and guidelines for key factors that are involved in the development,deployment,and use of AI technologies.The framework addresses some common questions about how AI impacts these solutions.For example,is the
50、 service meant only to provide information for humans to act on,or is it meant for making automated decisions?How explainable are the models predictions?Does the implementation provide any means to understand why the engine made the prediction it did?Is AI used in a way that can impact human employm
51、ent or pay?Verint seeks to address these considerations across our solution offerings,as discussed above,and evaluates them from the following perspectives:Transparency Lack of transparency in AI systems,particularly in deep learning models,is a pressing issue.This opaqueness obscures the decision-m
52、aking processes and underlying logic of these technologies.To help provide insight into those opaque areas,we seek to provide the context and scope of the information that the underlying algorithms and processes are using.This includes:Display transparency:Provides a real-time understanding of the t
53、ask being performed by the AI,and of the actions the AI system is taking.Explainability:Provides information in a backward-looking manner on the logic,process,factors,or reasoning upon which the systems actions or recommendations are based.Ethical Decision Making Instilling ethical values in AI syst
54、ems,especially in decision-making contexts with significant consequences,presents a considerable challenge.Researchers and developers must prioritize the ethical implications of AI technologies to avoid negative societal impacts.We seek to address this by:Performing an AI ethics review for new proje
55、cts as part of the research scope and definition process.The AI ethics review process explores the possible harms that can be caused by normal use of the AI:with high quality results;with incorrect or low-quality results;how the technology could be misapplied;and how the AI can correctly or incorrec
56、tly learn as it is used.The Verint ethics review includes the following questions and a discussion of how each issue may be mitigated:o What possible harms exist when the technology is being used as intended and functioning correctly?o What possible harm exists when the technology is being used as i
57、ntended but giving incorrect results?o What possible harms exist following from potential misuse of the technology?o If the system learns from user input once deployed:What checks and limitations are intended with respect to system learning?Does that learning incorporate any customer specific data?I
58、s the learning applicable to the offering generally,or only at the tenant level?Unauthorized use,duplication,or modification of this document in whole or in part without the written consent of Verint Systems Inc.is strictly prohibited.By providing this document,Verint Systems Inc.is not making any r

61、 perpetuate or amplify societal sensitive biases due to biased training data or algorithmic design.To minimize discrimination and ensure fairness,it is crucial to invest in the development of unbiased algorithms and diverse training data sets.We seek to address this by:Being aware of commonly known
62、biases that may be present in AI systems,such as data bias,algorithmic bias,and confirmation bias.Periodically reviewing,evaluating,and addressing AI-generated outputs during the development process for potential biases and inaccuracies.Addressing bias or accuracy issues reported through our Inciden
63、t Management System as a bug/defect.Using AI systems provided by vendors with transparent methodologies and documentation to better understand their decision-making processes.Documenting and communicating any identified biases and mitigation efforts.Privacy Concerns AI technologies often collect and
64、 analyze large amounts of personal data,raising issues related to data privacy and security.To mitigate privacy risks,we endeavor to adhere to safe data handling practices.We seek to address this by:Complying with privacy and other laws applicable to Verint as a provider of AI.Adhering to Verints Co
65、de of Conduct,Global Information Security Policy,and privacy policies when accessing and processing personal data.Complying with our contractual obligations concerning the handling of customer data,including with respect to personal data.Using secure and data privacy linked environments,such as Veri
66、nt Labs,to research,develop,and test AI systems or services.Security Risks As AI technologies become increasingly sophisticated,the security risks associated with their use and the potential for misuse also increase.Hackers and malicious actors can harness the power of AI to develop more advanced cy
67、berattacks,bypass security measures,and exploit vulnerabilities in systems.We seek to address this by:Adhering to Verints internal AI Use Policy,these guidelines,and our Global Information Security Policy when using and developing AI systems.Using secure and data privacy linked environments,such as
68、Verint Labs,to research,develop,and test AI systems or services.Legal and Regulatory Considerations New legal frameworks and regulations are being adopted around the world to address the unique issues arising from AI technologies,including allocation of responsibilities,liabilities,and intellectual
69、property rights.Legal systems are evolving to keep pace with technological advancements and protect the rights of individuals and businesses.The rights and laws that may apply to Verint offerings include:Data protection and privacy laws.Intellectual property laws.Unauthorized use,duplication,or modi

72、All rights reserved.All other marks are trademarks of their respective owners.2024 Verint Systems Inc.All rights reserved worldwide.Laws applicable to employment,the protection of protected classes,or other human interest related laws and regulations.Laws regulating the use of AI itself.We seek to a
73、ddress this by:Developing AI systems designed to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and designing such systems in a manner that allows compliant use by customers.Respecting third-party intellectual property rights in the design and development process.Adhering to Verints internal
74、AI Use Policy and these guidelines when developing AI services or systems that are used by our customers.Monitoring and reviewing applicable updates to legal and regulatory requirements and best practices.Misinformation and Manipulation AI-generated content,such as deepfakes,contributes to the sprea
75、d of false information and the manipulation of public opinion.Efforts to detect and combat AI-generated misinformation are critical in preserving the integrity of information in the digital age.Data from individuals(such as customers of our customers)may be collected and fed into AI services for fur
76、ther enrichment or automation and often includes the type of information(i.e.,personal sensitive information,voice audio recordings,pictures,account information,etc.)that can be used by malicious actors to falsely represent an individual.Scrutinizing the security of each AI service we useas well as
77、ensuring the AI service does not act on behalf of or represent itself as the consumerare core focuses for us.We seek to address them by:Ensuring the data inputs going into an AI service are protected,and there are safeguards to prevent interception or use by third parties for alternative purposes.En
78、suring the AI service does not act on behalf of or represent itself as the consumer.Unintended Consequences AI systems,due to their complexity and lack of constant human oversight,might exhibit unexpected behaviors or make decisions with unforeseen consequences.This unpredictability can result in ou
79、tcomes that negatively impact individuals,businesses,or society.Robust testing,validation,and monitoring processes can help developers and researchers identify and fix these types of issues before they escalate.We seek to address this by:Designing AI models used in the service to provide explanation
80、s displayed to the human decision maker.Including in product documentation descriptions of the AI models used with the Verint Open Platform.Establishing a development approval process that requires review of how AI capabilities are combined with other Verint functionality,and how the AI will be adop
81、ted within the Verint offerings to restrict further development use cases without required approvals.Model Monitoring The Verint Open Platform provides capabilities to both actively(i.e.,continually observe and analyze)and passively(i.e.,issues reported through our standard support tickets)monitor A
