Following the CEO of a lesser-known artificial intelligence start-up’s arrest on Tuesday for reportedly killing her four-year-old kid in Goa, the company’s name began to surface in the media.
Seth had taken a taxi to Bengaluru after placing her child’s remains in a bag. When the maids at the Goa service apartment where she was staying went to clean the room she occupied with the infant and discovered bloodstains on the towel, it was discovered that she had been murdered. Seth was taken into custody by Goa police from Chitradurga, Karnataka. The killing’s motivation remained still a mystery.
Less than ten people work at The Mindful AI Lab, which is led by Seth, based on its LinkedIn page.
The Mindful AI Lab combines experience in “privacy by design,” “bias mitigation,” “explainable AI,” “robust AI,” and “governing AI,” according to the company website, “with a deep understanding of the ethics of emerging technologies.”
Per the firm, the Mindful AI Lab specializes in “hands on prototyping, deployment and scaling of machine learning systems” and is also skilled in “AI ethics.”
In its ‘About Us’ section, the company says that it empowers humans to design ethical AI.
The Mindful AI Lab helps businesses operationalize responsible AI strategy in line with their needs, values, and objectives. It also provides technical design, audit, and post-deployment advisory services for AI products and data practices. Finally, it operationalizes ethics at every stage of the AI project life cycle in accordance with industry standards and current research.
But the only name on the team is Seth’s. Her bio states that she has led data science workshops, supervised data-for-good initiatives with DataKind, and advised studies on IoT ethics.
According to the website, Seth has 12 years of experience guiding data science teams. He has held fellowships at Data & Society, the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University, and the Raman Research Institute.
