How no-code AI development platforms could introduce model bias

AI deployment in the enterprise skyrocketed as the pandemic accelerated organizations’ digital transformation plans.

Designed to abstract away the programming typically required to create AI systems, no-code tools enable non-experts to develop machine learning models that can be used to predict inventory demand or extract text from business documents, for example. In light of the growing data science talent shortage, the usage of no-code platforms is expected to climb in the coming years, with Gartner predicting that 65% of app development will be low-code/no-code by 2024.
