AI Explained

In this episode of AI Explained, we are joined by Jonathan Cohen, VP of Applied Research at NVIDIA. We will explore the intricacies of NVIDIA's NeMo platform and its components like NeMo Guardrails and NIMS. Jonathan explains how these tools help in deploying and managing AI models with a focus on observability, security, and efficiency. They also explore topics such as the evolving role of AI agents, the importance of guardrails in maintaining responsible AI, and real-world examples of successful AI deployments in enterprises like Amdocs. Listeners will gain insights into NVIDIA's AI strategy and the practical aspects of deploying large language models in various industries.

In this episode, we’re joined by Robert Nishihara, Co-founder and CEO at Anyscale. Enterprises are harnessing the full potential of GenAI across various facets of their operations for enhancing productivity, driving innovation, and gaining a competitive edge. However, scaling production GenAI deployments can be challenging due to the need for evolving AI infrastructure, approaches, and processes that can support advanced GenAI use cases. Nishihara will discuss reliability challenges, building the right AI infrastructure, and implementing the latest practices in productionizing GenAI at scale.

In this episode, we’re joined by Amal Iyer, Sr. Staff AI Scientist at Fiddler AI. Large-scale AI models trained on internet-scale datasets have ushered in a new era of technological capabilities, some of which now match or even exceed human ability. However, this progress emphasizes the importance of aligning AI with human values to ensure its safe and beneficial societal integration. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the alignment problem and highlight promising areas of research spanning scalable oversight, robustness and interpretability.

On this episode, we’re joined by Patrick Hall, Co-Founder of BNH.AI. We will delve into critical aspects of AI, such as model risk management, generating adverse action notices, addressing algorithmic discrimination, ensuring data privacy, fortifying ML security, and implementing advanced model governance and explainability.

On this episode, we’re joined by Jure Leskovec, Stanford professor and co-founder at Kumo.ai. Graph neural networks (GNNs) are gaining popularity in the AI community, helping ML teams build advanced AI applications that provide deep insights to tackle real-world problems. Stanford professor and co-founder at Kumo.AI, Jure Leskovec, whose work is at the intersection of graph neural networks, knowledge graphs, and generative AI, will explore how organizations can incorporate GNNs in their generative AI initiatives.

On this episode, we’re joined by Peter Norvig, a Distinguished Education Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI and co-author of popular books on AI, including Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach and more recently, Data Science in Context. AI has the potential to improve humanity’s quality of life and day-to-day decisions. However, these advancements come with their own challenges that can cause harm. Listen to this episode to learn considerations and best practices organizations can take to preserve human control and ensure transparent and equitable AI.
