You need way more than "five skills" to be an AI auditor, but there are five areas of study that auditors need basic competency in if they want to do the kinds of audits that BABL AI performs. This is part of our weekly webinar/podcast that went very long so we've cut out a lot of the Q&A, which covered a lot of questions that we'll address in future videos, like: What kind of training do I need to become an AI or algorithm auditor? Do I need technical knowledge of machine learning to do AI ethics?

On this week's Lunchtime BABLing, Shea goes over the difference between a direct engagement audit vs. an attestation engagement audit and give examples from our criteria-based attestation audit for NYC Local Law No. 144.

In this Q&A session, Shea talks about strategies for applying the skills you already have to the emerging field of AI ethics, governance, and policy consulting? This is a follow-up to our first webinar on the topic. Questions include: 1. Do I need an advanced degree to work in responsible AI? 2. How do I know what topics to focus on? 3.
