Congrats on your progress! How do you guys deal with liability issues, such as if your algorithms were to miss a potential defect and something were to happen?

Congrats on your progress! How do you guys deal with liability issues, such as if your algorithms were to miss a potential defect and something were to happen? Do your customers worry about that at all?
- crubier 8y agoHi and thanks ! There are multiple answers to this particular problem: - We tune the algorithms to give very high recall (up to 98%), at the cost of lower precision (down to 70% in certain cases). This means that we miss very few defects, but with sometimes 30% false positives. - We capture pictures of each point of the structure to inspect from at least 2 or 3 viewpoints. This means that the 98% recall for each image compounds: if we missed a defect on a picture, we have chances of finding it on other pictures from other angles. - All our software allows humans in the loop, from data capture to data analysis. This means human experts can validate or correct results from the AI, human drones operators can take back manual control of the drone, and so on. Our automation is here to help humans perform their job, not fully replace them. - Our customers worry about that a lot, and most of them aknowledge that our method is more effective than traditional methods
