Welcome to the inaugural episode of the rebranded "Art of Automation" podcast, now titled "The Art of AI." Join your host, Jerry Cuomo, IBM Fellow and VP for Technology, and guest Dr. Ruchir Puri, IBM Fellow and Chief Scientist at IBM Research, as they explore the fundamental theme of this series: "Trustworthy AI for Business." Listen in as they discuss the importance of data governance, responsible AI practices, and transparent model training to ensure that AI systems earn trust and deliver reliability in the business landscape.In this episode, Ruchir's analogy of a blender illustrates "Un-Trustworthy AI." Just as a blender turns ingredients into an unrecognizable smoothie, AI can consume data without retaining its origin. To ensure trust, proper data governance and attribution are vital. AI models should provide clear sources for their recommendations, fostering credibility and informed decision-making. Trustworthy AI combines responsible practices and transparency, empowering users to harness its potential with confidence.Ruchir introduces IBM's pioneering watsonx platform as a data and AI platform that's built for business. He explains that enterprises turning to AI today need access to a full technology stack that enables them to train, tune and deploy AI models, including foundation models and machine learning capabilities, across their organization with trusted data, speed, and governance - all in one place and to run across any cloud environment. The conversation explores the challenge of reducing AI model "hallucinations," where systems generate incorrect information with unwarranted confidence. The hosts discuss ongoing research efforts to address this issue and elevate the overall accuracy of AI outputs.This episode sets the stage for a thought-provoking series that explores AI's transformative potential for businesses while highlighting the significance of ethics and trust in shaping the AI-driven future.References:• Improving Factuality and Reasoning in Language Models through Multiagent Debate• Watsonx platform• Watsonx; Generative AI for business by Dario Gil, THINK 2023 * Coverart was created with the assistance of DALL·E 2 by OpenAI. ** Music for the podcast created by Mind The Gap Band - Cox, Cuomo, Haberkorn, Martin, Mosakowski, and Rodriguez

OpenAI's ChatGPT and picture generating AI systems like MidJourney and Stable Diffusion have got a lot more people interested in advanced AI and talking about it. Which is a good thing. It will not be pretty if the transformative changes that will happen in the next two or three decades take most of us by surprise.A company that has been pioneering advanced AI for longer than most is IBM, and we are very fortunate to have with us in this episode one of IBM's most senior executives.Alessandro Curioni has been with the company for 25 years. He is an IBM Fellow, Director of IBM Research, and Vice President for Europe and Africa.Topics discussed in this conversation include:*) Some background: 70 years of inventing the future of computing*) The role of grand challenges to test and advance the world of AI*) Two major changes in AI: from rules-based to trained, and from training using annotated data to self-supervised training using non-annotated data*) Factors which have allowed self-supervised training to build large useful models, as opposed to an unstable cascade of mistaken assumptions*) Foundation models that extend beyond text to other types of structured data, including software code, the reactions of organic chemistry, and data streams generated from industrial processes*) Moving from relatively shallow general foundation models to models that can hold deep knowledge about particular subjects*) Identification and removal of bias in foundation models*) Two methods to create models tailored to the needs of particular enterprises*) The modification by RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) of models created by self-supervised learning*) Examples of new business opportunities enabled by foundation models*) Three "neuromorphic" methods to significantly improve the energy efficiency of AI systems:  chips with varying precision, memory and computation co-located, and spiking neural networks*) The vulnerability of existing confidential data to being decrypted in the relatively near future*) The development and adoption of quantum-safe encryption algorithms*) What a recent "quantum apocalypse" paper highlights as potential future developments*) Changing forecasts of the capabilities of quantum computing*) IBM's attitude toward Artificial General Intelligence and the Turing Test*) IBM's overall goals with AI, and the selection of future "IBM Grand Challenges" in support of these goals*) Augmenting the capabilities of scientists to accelerate breakthrough scientific discoveries.Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain DeclarationSelected follow-up reading:https://researcher.ibm.com/researcher/view.php?person=zurich-curhttps://www.zurich.ibm.com/st/neuromorphic/https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2022/07/nist-announces-first-four-quantum-resistant-cryptographic-algorithms
