This contrasts with earlier models that handled each modality separately, signifying a shift towards more holistic AI systems that mirror human sensory processing.AI Integration in Operating Systems: The conversation delves into how AI, like Apple Intelligence, is being integrated directly into operating systems, enabling more intuitive interactions such as device management and on-device tasks. This advancement brings AI closer to daily use, ensuring privacy by processing data locally rather than relying on cloud-based systems.Neuralink and Transhumanism: Anand and Stewart discuss Neuralink's potential to bridge the gap between human and artificial intelligence. Neuralink's brain-computer interface could allow humans to enhance cognitive abilities and better compete in a future dominated by intelligent machines, raising questions about the ethics and risks of such direct brain-AI integration.Cultural Feedback and Learning: Anand emphasizes the role of cultural feedback in shaping human learning, likening it to how AI models are fine-tuned through feedback loops. He explains that different cultural environments provide varied feedback to individuals, influencing the way they process and adapt to information throughout their lives.Cybersecurity and Distributed Systems: The discussion highlights the dual-edged nature of distributed systems in cybersecurity. While these systems offer increased freedom and decentralization, they can also serve as breeding grounds for financial crimes and other malicious activities, pointing to the need for balanced approaches to internet freedom and security.Generative Biology and AI: A key insight from the episode is the potential of AI models, like those used for language processing, to revolutionize fields such as biology and chemistry. Anand mentions the idea of generative biology, where AI could eventually design new proteins or chemical compounds, leading to breakthroughs in drug discovery and personalized medicine.Positive Social Impact Through Technology: Anand introduces a thought-provoking idea about using AI and data analytics for social good. He suggests that technology can help bridge disparities in education and resources globally, with models being designed to measure and optimize for positive social impacts, rather than just profits or efficiency.
Keir Starmer has appointed more than 100 ministers to his government since Labour won the general election on 4 July. Some were ministers in the last Labour government; for many this was their first time in ministerial office. So, who makes up this latest generation of government ministers? And who held office before them? The Institute for Government's brand new Ministers Database holds information about all government ministers since 1979 – who served as a minister, in what role, and for how long. On Thursday 5 September the IfG launched the database for public use, so that everyone can benefit from this unrivalled source of information and use it in their work. So what can we learn from the IfG's Ministers Database? Which ministerial roles have seen the most churn? How has turnover among ministers changed over time, and what does it mean for government? And how can academics, journalists and others use the IfG Ministers Database in their work? To explore these questions and more, we were joined on this webinar by an expert panel, including: Dr Catherine Haddon, Programme Director at the Institute for Government Philip Nye, Senior Data Scientist at the Institute for Government Dr Jessica Smith, Lecturer in Politics with Quantitative Methods at the University of Edinburgh The event was chaired by Tim Durrant, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

In July 2024, we witnessed one of the most significant internet disruptions in history when CrowdStrike released a faulty update to its security servers. This update impacted approximately 8.5 million systems, triggering outages across various sectors, including airlines, banks, stock markets, and even government emergency services. Even once activity was restored, threat actors sought to take advantage of the situation through phishing schemes and other cyberattacks. Though caused by an internal error rather than malicious intent, incidents like CrowdStrike's outage underscore the growing importance of reliable security measures on technologies that impact daily life. On this month's podcast, we explore the ins and outs of cybersecurity, how cyberattacks occur, and what steps you can take to protect your data. Our guests: Milena Rodban, independent geopolitical risk consultant and former senior advisor at the National Risk Management Center at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Immigration is essential for a functioning food system that otherwise suffers from growing labor shortages on farms, packing houses, processors and kitchens. The H-2A Temporary Agriculture Worker Program allows U.S. employers that face a shortage of domestic workers to hire foreign nationals for temporary or seasonal agricultural jobs. An American Immigration Council analysis, “The Expanding Role of H-2A Workers in U. S. Agriculture” reveals significant demand across the country with labor being sought from two thirds (2/3) of all counties in the U.S. Steve Hubbard, the Senior Data Scientist at the American Immigration says “Instead of vilifying migrant workers, we should champion and protect them for their vital support to America's food production. www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi :-) I work as a Senior Data Scientist, and about half a year ago I joined a start up that was founded by a large corporation. And while this job comes with the perks of a bigger company - like good salary, paid overtime, … , - it also comes with its organizational overhead and politics: We are only about 30 people but already a quarter of us acts as managers. I write “act” because the official org chart is flat (with the CEO at the top and the rest of us directly underneath). The unofficial org chart is hidden and depending on who you speak with, you get their view point on how roles and responsibilities should look like. As a result, I'm left with putting together the pieces to build a picture that somewhat resembles the truth. So far, I've concluded that we have multiple (!) management layers, that there's a power war taking place in the middle management layer, and that you can make up your own titles that mean NOTHING, because no one has any official, disciplinary authority over any one, but that are still to be respected! What a great opportunity for job crafting :-D To make things worse, I prefer and come from organizations that have a truly flat hierarchy. For example, I'm used to step outside of my role should the situation require it (like doing some managerial tasks, supporting sales, …) and that I can speak my mind, irrespective of what the title of the person is who I'm talking to. While this was beneficial in my previous positions, this does not work well here! And while I understand that adapting my behavior would be more in line with the company culture, I find this extremely difficult. On the one hand, because of the hidden org chart, on the other because we are all fully remote and I rarely see people from other teams. To avoid accidentally stepping on anyone's toes, my current solution is to stick my head in the sand and focus on my coding. However, this leaves me disgruntled because I feel like I'm not being myself, and that I'm withholding a viable part of my skill set: to see the bigger picture and serve the company as a whole instead of just implementing tickets. Please help, I do not understand how this company works :'-D How would you navigate the situation? I don't want to quit because, individually, my coworkers are super nice, and the work is really interesting. All the best

The era of generative AI needs humans… not just the data sets they create. Now and going forward, companies will need to depend on perceptive, intelligent, creative humans who can evaluate and, when necessary, stand up to the black box output AI throws at them. What kind of traits do such people embody? Where might we find them? What might they teach the rest of us? That's what this episode of *Silo Busting* is all about. Tariq King, VP and Head of Product-Service Systems, and Ira Livshits, Senior Data Scientist at EPAM, meet the test-based questions of Producer Ken Gordon with knowledge and aplomb. King, who spent much of his career hiring testers, says he looks for “the way that someone actually approaches solving problems and thinking perhaps in a different way or from a different perspective.” Livshits notes that with testing in generative AI, “sometimes there is no right or wrong” and that a tester will “have to act or decide based on his or her understanding of the field and maybe intuition.” In short, she says, testing has become much less of a black-and-white job. Together King and Livshits create a model conversation. They talk about how explainability fits in here, why musicians and liberal arts people make for good testers, the importance of being able to relate findings to a given audience (“[if] I have a PhD focused on machine learning, probably I can understand certain things in a different way than someone who may not have that degree,” says King), and how generative AI is bringing the role of testing closer to the fore. Go on, give it a test-listen. Host: Alison Kotin Engineer: Kyp Pilalas Producer: Ken Gordon

MLOps Coffee Sessions #153 with Rodolfo Núñez, Multilingual Programming and a Project Structure to Enable It, co-hosted by Abi Aryan. // Abstract It's really easy to mix different programming languages inside the same project and use a project template that enables easy collaboration. It's not about what language is better, but rather what language solves the given section of your problem better for you. // Bio Rodo has been working in the "Data Space" for almost 7 years. He was a Senior Data Scientist at Entel (a Chilean telecommunications company) and is now a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at the same company, where I also lead three mini teams dedicated to internal cybersecurity; design/promote continuous training for the entire Analytics team and also the whole company; and ensure the improvement of programming practices and code cleanliness standards. Rodo is currently in charge of helping the team put models into production and define the tools that we will use for it. He specializes in R, but he's language/tool agnostic: you should use the tool that best solves your current problem. Rodo studied Mathematical Engineering and MSc in Applied Mathematics at the University of Chile in addition to General Engineering at the École Centrale Marseille. Rodo really likes to share knowledge (bi-directionally) in whatever he thinks he can contribute. Some things that Rodo like teaching are Data Science, Math, Latin Dances, and whatever he thinks he can give to people.

Data Futurology - Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence From Industry Leaders
Today on the Data Futurology podcast, we have Ann Sebastian, Senior Data Scientist at Wesfarmers OneDigital, as a guest on the podcast. As Sebastian says, she is “in the trenches” building data science products. One of her key projects in recent years has been OnePass, a subscription service that provides free delivery and other services across a range of Australia's top brands. “It's an incredible experience to be part of a journey, developing an idea through to proof of concept through to production ideation to a system that is adopted across the organisation,” she said. Through the podcast, Sebastian offers some key insights into that process via some of the projects that she has worked on over the years. Sebastian also spoke about how data science teams can be built, and how a culture of innovation can be structured within them. For just one example of this that she shares on the podcast, in her current role there is a focus on learning and development, which manifests as 10 per cent of each person's work time being dedicated to research activities. For her part, Sebastian is currently using that research time to work on multimodal product classification, she said. “Given the fast-moving nature of retail catalogue, and need for us as a division to form a unified view across all our divisions products, there is business significance for this research project. “We then have fortnightly quick check ins to discuss the progress on our research projects, and that really helps us to learn from each other. This is one way that data science is embedded into our day to day in a way that makes it more real for us.” For these insights and more on how data science products are built and evaluated, and how data scientists can be motivated and innovative within their careers, tune in to the full podcast.

Which states are the bellwethers in the upcoming election? Which states will give the clearest indication of the direction of the House and Senate? Who is showing up to vote that pollsters weren't expecting? And how will those voters who aren't considered "likely voters" change the results? How does a firm like Decision Desk HQ gather the information needed to make election calls as quickly as they do? (Answer: There are 50 states with 50 different ways to get the information.) What is a model? How are election models different from polls? What factors are considered to develop a model? What are some of the differences between DDHQ's model and other models such as fivethirtyeight's? How should we look at projections? We explore these questions and more with DDHQ's Senior Data Scientist Kiel Williams. Kiel Williams is a Senior Data Scientist at Decision Desk HQ. Decision Desk HQ collects, organizes, and reports election night results and provides election related data to media outlets, political organizations, and anyone interested in who votes and how they voted.
