Basic model of non-functional characteristics for assessment of artificial intelligence quality

The subject of the research is the models of artificial intelligence (AI) quality. The current paper develops an AI quality model based on the definition and ordering of its characteristics. Objectives: to develop the principles and justify the sequence of analysis and development of AI quality models as ordered sets of characteristics; to offer models of AI quality for further use, first, the evaluation of individual characteristics and quality in general; to demonstrate the profiling of AI quality models for systems using artificial intelligence. The following results were obtained. The sequence of construction of AI quality models is offered. Based on the analysis of references, a list of AI characteristics was formed and their definitions were harmonized. The general model of AI quality is presented with a description of the step-by-step procedure for the realization of its hierarchical construction. A basic model of AI with abbreviated sets of characteristics is proposed due to its importance. Examples of profiling of quality models for two systems - monitoring of engineering communications and recognition of road signs are given. Conclusions. The study's main result is the development of a quality model for artificial intelligence, which is based on the analysis and harmonization of definitions and dependencies of quality characteristics specific to AI. The selection of characteristics and the construction of the quality model were carried out in such a way to exclude duplication, ensure the completeness of the presentation, as well as to determine the specific features of each characteristic. It is extremely difficult to create a model that would fully meet such requirements, so the presented options should be supplemented and improved considering the rapid development of technologies and applications of AI. The proposed quality models are open and can be supplemented and detailed according to the specific purpose and scope of AI.
