Large Language Model Usage: Assessing The Risks And Ethics
September 10, 2024
With the ever-expanding use of large language models (LLMs) to generate information for users, there is an urgent need to assess and understand the risks and ethical implications of any given usage. Even seemingly similar uses can have very different risk and ethical profiles. This post will discuss and illustrate with some examples.

In any endeavor, we have goals and we have constraints we face when pursuing those goals. Given the constraints, how we choose to optimize our effort toward meeting our goals has a huge impact on the actions we take and the outcomes we achieve.

AI & Data Science Predictions For 2024
January 09, 2024
What鈥檚 coming up in the world of AI and data science in 2024? I鈥檒l provide my thoughts here. I haven鈥檛 done a blog with predictions for a number of years, so I thought I鈥檇 give it a go and see if people find it valuable or not. These are just my opinions, and at least one is a bit risky, but hopefully these thoughts will either reinforce your own or spur some new ones.
