When I was writing my last two books, I kept wondering: would this be the last book I ever wrote? Why would people still seek knowledge from books when AI can synthesise information across diverse sources, delivering it in a personalised and conversational manner tailored to individual knowledge levels and interests? And to be honest,…
π¨ Exciting news! Weβve just submitted the final manuscript for our upcoming book, βEngineering AI Systems: Architecture and Devops Essentialsβ π Itβs been a fantastic journey working with three brilliant co-authors:β’ Qinghua Lu, Lead of CSIRO’s Data61βs Responsible AI Science team and winner of the Asia Pacific Women in AI Trailblazer Award 2023!β’ Ingo Weber,…
The word βπππππ ππππβ has become very popular recently as a major approach for AI developers, deployers, and regulators to achieve responsible and safe AI. But what does it mean exactly? π€ For some, it means anything that can help safeguard and achieve responsible and safe AI, ranging from governance practices to stakeholder engagement, design, testing/assessment/evaluation,…
I often get asked which underlying foundation model one should choose for their use cases, and whether an organisation or a country should even train one given the immense compute and talent challenges. Itβs a complex space to navigate. π This question becomes even more perplexing with some recent intriguing discoveries, such as:1. Picking and…
You may have seen our ESG-AI framework for investors released a few months ago as a high-level report and associated question bank tools https://lnkd.in/gw9FFKJG Thereβs a lot of additional science and detailed work behind it. For those interested in knowing more and contributing to advancing the science of measuring Responsible AI through the lens of…
I’m excited to share our new paper on AI safety evaluation! One of the biggest challenges I’ve encountered in my work is the confusion caused when different communities use the same terms to mean very different things. For example, “AI testing” means one thing to policymakers, another to AI system/software testers, and yet another to…
Lessons and observations from my meetings with Japan’s government and science agencies on critical tech, critical infrastructure, quantum, AI, and AI Safety! π―π΅π¦πΊ A great two days. I had the privilege of engaging with the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), AI Safety Institute Secretariat (AISI), Information-technology Protection Agency (IPA), Ministry of…
Despite #AI dominating every conversation, the most fascinating developments often occur at the intersection of AI and other technologies, such as quantum computing, blockchain, and cybersecurity. Since its inception in 2016, I have chaired Australia’s blockchain standards committee, witnessing the rise, fall, and resurgence of interest and diverse use cases of blockchain/crypto. Vitalik Buterin’s recent article on…
In my new CEDA – Committee for Economic Development of Australia opinion piece, https://lnkd.in/gjbK3Uej I tackle three pervasive challenges I’ve observed: 1. The tendency to view responsible AI as nothing more than a buzzword or truism. Is AI really special, or can we simply graft AI considerations onto existing governance frameworks? 2. The communication gap between executives, board…
Our Responsible AI work has been celebrated as one of the most impactful projects in the East Asia and Oceania Region. Lu, Q., Zhu, L., Xu, X., Whittle, J., Zowghi, D., Jacquet, A., 2023.
