The prevalence of virtual business meetings in the corporate world, largely accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is here to stay. Based on a survey conducted by American Express in 2023, 41% of business meetings are expected to take place in hybrid or virtual format by 2024. Attending multiple meetings daily and keeping track of all …
Over the last year, there’s been a lot of change in the commercial image and video asset industry: New generative AI applications let users create their own still and live images based on prompts, and traditional stock-media asset providers are offering customers richer search experiences that have a deep understanding of the image/live image content …

The global AI governance landscape is complex and rapidly evolving. Key themes and concerns are emerging, however government agencies should get ahead of the game by evaluating their agency-specific priorities and processes. Compliance with official policies through auditing tools and other measures is merely the final step. The groundwork for effectively operationalizing governance is human-centered, …

We have a very big and exciting update to share with you. Over the past few months, I have been publishing many of my AI insights and experiments on Substack. One of the things that LLMs are exposing is the role that psychology and bias play in creating and interpreting information. Information isn’t passive. It’s some …
Developing next-gen AI agents, exploring new modalities, and pioneering foundational learning
Conformal prediction (CP) for regression can be challenging, especially when the output distribution is heteroscedastic, multimodal, or skewed. Some of the issues can be addressed by estimating a distribution over the output, but in reality, such approaches can be sensitive to estimation error and yield unstable intervals. Here, we circumvent the challenges by converting regression …

In November 2023, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) released a set of draft regulations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making technology (ADMT). The proposed rules are still in development, but organizations may want to pay close attention to their evolution. Because the state is home to many of the world’s …
The intricate hierarchical data structures in data warehouses and lakes sourced from diverse origins can make data modeling a protracted and error-prone process. To quickly adapt and create data models that meet evolving business requirements without having to rework them excessively, you need data models that are flexible, modular and adaptable enough to accommodate many …

Contrastive learning typically matches pairs of related views among a number of unrelated negative views. Views can be generated (e.g. by augmentations) or be observed. We investigate matching when there are more than two related views which we call poly-view tasks, and derive new representation learning objectives using information maximization and sufficient statistics. We show …
