With the explosion of interest in generative AI, particularly with large language models (LLMs) in an enterprise context, one of the most interesting things is that the AI discussion now includes businesspeople who didn’t typically talk about AI, or had never even considered an enterprise use case for AI. Now they are. As a technologist […]

What is unique about machine learning and AI compared to traditional rules-based systems? Well, amongst various things, a key point is that AI learns from a training dataset instead of explicitly being coded with rules to follow. There is a huge focus on Responsible AI (aka Ethical or Trustworthy AI) – and rightly so. However, […]

Business leaders are starting to realize that, when building AI or machine learning solutions, we need more transparency in the process. It’s no longer OK to just seek the best accuracy when building these systems. Unfortunately, many AI business processes still do primarily focus on performance – and there are many models already in production […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming prevalent across all business sectors. Whilst the big headlines focus on use cases like self-driving cars and digital assistants such as Alexa, most of the time AI technologies are used to automate human decision making in less flashy scenarios. Your credit card or mortgage application is likely reviewed by an […]

Assessing the fairness of an AI model is a critical, yet challenging task that should involve business process, human judgement, and transparent data on the behaviour of the AI model. When any AI model is built using personal data, it is important (and legally required in most jurisdictions) that is does not unfairly discriminate. This […]

In a guest post on insideBIGDATA I wrote: “There is no doubt that AI is exploding across businesses, and it is not just with the moon shots that make news headlines. Due to the speed and scale at which AI can operate, it is being used across the critical operations and decision making in everyday […]

AI models can achieve very high accuracy (this is particularly true with contemporary deep learning methods) and can churn through data at a much higher rate than is possible with humans. This has led to their deployment in decision making systems across various industries. In general, these systems are trained (that is, taught how to […]

Are you ready? Governments and regulators now have well established regulations in place for managing data including the security and privacy implications associated with these. However, as AI is now being regularly deployed within organisations, countries around the world are looking at how it should be regulated. Some regulation builds upon (or is inherent within) […]

Contemporary machine learning systems are different from traditional rules-based systems. With these traditional systems a series of rules were written that matched up with the desired operation of the system. In machine learning, the system learns how to make decisions from the data that is presented to it. Whilst this has many advantages, a very […]
