The AI trust gap might actually be a data gap

Rick W 0 1
Organizations are investing heavily to make AI more trustworthy: building governance programs, establishing AI policies, documenting models and investing in explainability tools. These are all important steps, but what if one of the biggest barriers to trustworthy AI lies somewhere else entirely?  What if it's the data? The Data and [...] The post The AI trust gap might actually be a...

How “reverse game theory” could keep AI agents in check

Rick W 0 0
A new approach known as “reverse game theory” aims to control powerful AI models by designing systems that incentivize them to stick to the rules. As AI models become more capable, safety researchers are scrambling to ensure they are “aligned” with human desires—to make sure, in other words, that rogue agents don’t break the law,…

Top 5 Local AI Models and How to Get Them

Rick W 0 0
Proprietary models are amazing! But sometimes what is of importance is configurability rather than raw power. This has led to the emergence of locally hosted models. Running AI locally gives users more control over their setup. With suitable hardware and tools like Ollama and LM Studio, capable models can run entirely on-device.  But which models are worth running, […] The post Top 5...

AIに任せているのは「判断」ではなく、「判断材料づくり」である

Rick W 0 0
これまでの連載では、同じデータ、同じ定義を使うことの大切さを書いてきました。今回の話は、その延長にあります。AIが作る判断材料の質は、元のデータと、「何を異常と呼ぶか」という定義の質で決まります。データがばらばらで、定義が人によって違えば、AIは速く、大量に、間違った判断材料を作ります。どこまで任せるかを考える前に、判断材料の質を揃えておく必要があります。 ※第1回:「経営KGIと現場KPIをつなぐ」、第2回:「同じデータ・同じ定義」を誰がつくるのか、第3回:「同じ判断材料の共有」についてお話ししました。 「AIが判断したので」は会議で通るか 「それはAIが判断したことなので」。この言葉を、経営会議で口にできる人はいないはずです。...
