To what extent can we trust our software, especially our Analytics, AI and Machine Learning software?

This MSc lecture, in a module called "Analytics: Ethics, Trust and Governance", explores some of the reasons why we need to be very careful about trusting most of the software that we use and be very careful about how developers should be in testing it.

Whilst many organisations use software test engineers to ensure, as far as feasible, that the software that is released is verified and validated, it appears that most of the in company analytical systems developments are never submitted to formal QA and testing processes.
