The AI Dev Summit is fast approaching, and we are thrilled to announce our official lineup of speakers who will be leading the conversation on sustainable AI development.
Panel: "Balancing Speed and Safety in AI"
Our upcoming "Balancing Speed and Safety" panel will delve into the crucial interplay between rapidly deploying AI systems and ensuring their safety and reliability.
Moving projects to production quickly is crucial to avoid being stuck in continuous proof-of-concept phases. The need for speed is evident, with new methods and state-of-the-art foundation models emerging frequently. Rapid iteration is often seen as a strength in the startup ecosystem, especially when competing with well-established companies.
However, this drive to quickly release features and stay competitive brings the challenge of balancing speed with the responsibility of ensuring safety and reliability. Our panel will discuss confidently deploying advanced models and AI architectures while ensuring they perform as intended. We'll explore the risks and safety metrics organizations use when deploying AI systems and share insights on identifying when the risks are too significant to proceed.
Join us in San Francisco on June 25th, 2024 at 4.30 PM PT as we address the balance between innovation and safety, ensuring our AI advancements are both cutting-edge and responsible.
