Hello, Legends,
Thank you for reading and sharing the weekly digest of Wild Intelligence.
The prejudices of our past taint the very algorithms we are building to reshape our world.
LLMs trained on massive datasets reflecting existing societal biases can inadvertently perpetuate and even amplify discrimination, particularly against marginalized groups.
This is not a mere technical glitch but a reflection of our deeply ingrained societal prejudices seeping into the very core of our technological creations. ?
Imagine an AI-powered hiring system that favors specific demographics over others, perpetuating existing inequalities in the workplace.
Or a loan application algorithm that systematically denies credit to individuals from specific communities, reinforcing historical patterns of economic disadvantage.
These are not hypothetical scenarios but the potential consequences of deploying biased AI systems in critical decision-making processes.
We must grapple with the question: Can we truly create a just and equitable society if the tools we use to shape it are inherently biased?
The essence of this weekly publication is inherently embedded in this mindset: to bridge the gap between traditional mechanisms and increasingly sophisticated actions.
Each post is specially conceived to help business leaders frame the context of Decision Intelligence?in the AI era. As I deepen my work, I bring new things I am excited to share.

???Poll, vote now: Will AI make human creatives obsolete?
While AI undoubtedly challenges human creatives, it also presents opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
The key lies in recognizing the unique strengths of both human and artificial intelligence and finding ways to leverage their respective capabilities to push the boundaries of artistic expression.
Ultimately, human creativity may be valued for its ability to connect with and inspire us on a deeply human level, something that AI may never fully replicate:
?? Human-AI collaboration and governance (online course)
The "Building safe intelligence systems" delves into the critical aspects of AI safety and security, providing you with the knowledge and tools to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. We explore:
?? Maildrop 29.10.24: The future of LLM-powered keyloggers (slides inside)
LLMs have the potential to revolutionize various fields, including cybersecurity. While LLMs can be used to enhance security measures, they can also be exploited by malicious actors to create more sophisticated and evasive attacks.
One such threat is the integration of LLMs with keyloggers.
?? How to build with AI agents | The tech stack of virtual agents
Under the hood of every engaging virtual agent lies a complex network of interconnected technologies.
? With the rapid advancement of AI, will building virtual agents eventually become as simple as assembling Lego blocks, democratizing access to this powerful technology?
?? Enterprise AI and trust: building confidence through safety and transparency
In an era of increasing AI adoption, trust is paramount.
Customers, employees, and the public at large need assurance that AI systems are safe, reliable, and used ethically.
Transparency and explainability are technical challenges and essential ingredients for building and maintaining trust in AI.
"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - Alan Kay (Computer Scientist)
?? Case study: AI just helped someone sue their landlord without a lawyer
The legal landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, driven by the transformative power of artificial intelligence.
No longer confined to the dusty tomes of law libraries and the exorbitant fees of seasoned attorneys, legal knowledge is becoming democratized, accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
