For the world of AI and model building, the famous motto, “Move fast and break things” by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is a sure path to destruction. Stakes are now higher than ever for AI, and model-driven businesses must be careful to test and confirm the safety and fairness of technology touching nearly everyone’s life. How can stakeholders do this while simultaneously pressing business initiatives as quickly as possible?

An AI-focused Center of Excellence (CoE) is a process engine for some of the innovators in Domino’s new Financial Services and Insurance edition of the Data Science Innovator’s Playbook. Functionally, the CoE is a centralized compute resource for data science and advanced analytics that’s managed by one team, but can serve one, five, ten, a hundred, or even thousands of data scientists using models at scale in a large enterprise. A marquee example of a mature CoE is found at Allstate, one of the largest insurers in the U.S. and a major user of data science. Our profiled innovator today is Meg Walters, Senior Manager and Data Science Leader of Allstate’s Analytics Center of Excellence.
