Open-Weight AI Models: A Path to Responsible Innovation
The recent Request for Comments (RFC) issued by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on open-weight AI models has sparked an important conversation about the future of AI. As we consider the potential benefits and risks associated with making AI model weights more accessible and transparent, it is clear ...

Testing Large Language Model (LLM) Vulnerabilities Using Adversarial Attacks
Adversarial analysis seeks to explain a machine learning model by understanding locally what changes need to be made to the input to change a model’s outcome. Depending on the context, adversarial results could be used as attacks, in which a change is made to trick a model into reaching a different outcome. Or they could be used as an exp...

Building an AI Aware Organization
Responsible AI is paramount when we think about models that impact humans, either directly or indirectly. All the models that are making decisions about people, be that about creditworthiness, insurance claims, HR functions, and even self-driving cars, have a huge impact on humans. We recently hosted James Orton, Parul Pandey, and Sudala...
Read moreThe Challenges and Benefits of AutoML
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence have revolutionized how organizations are utilizing their data. AutoML or Automatic Machine Learning automates and improves the end-to-end data science process. This includes everything from cleaning the data, engineering features, tuning the model, explaining the model, and deploying it into p...

3 Ways to Ensure Responsible AI Tools are Effective
Since we began our journey making tools for explainable AI (XAI) in late 2016, we’ve learned many lessons, and often the hard way. Through headlines, we’ve seen others grapple with the difficulties of deploying AI systems too. Whether it’s: a healthcare resource allocation system that likely discriminated against millions of black peop...
