Interesting discussion and episodes on the use of the AutoGen framework for Agentic Workflows at the Microsoft Research Forum. The #Agenticframework allows LLMs to allow to perform more complex and intelligent tasks autonomously through one of the key concepts of reflection and autonomy. It has significant impact on practical applications such as personalized medicine, automated travel concierge, autonomous navigation etc.. It was also very interesting to read blogs posted on deeplearning.ai by Andrew Ng. https://lnkd.in/daa28seD

Generative AI describes a category of artificial intelligence focused on producing new content, such as text, images, music, or code. These systems leverage large datasets to learn patterns, enabling them to create outputs that resemble human-generated work. Great insights in this article!

As we confront today’s online harms, we must prepare for the next frontier: an embodied, immersive internet powered by #AI, #biotech, #decentralization, and #quantum #computing. While tech companies distract us with superficial features and short-term solutions, they remain opaque about their true vision for our digital future—one that will fundamentally reshape human experience, society and childhood. As we vitally address the online harms of today, my focus is on the next iteration of the internet—the embodied internet, a transformative evolution fueled by #quantumcomputing, #AI, #biotech, and #decentralization. These technologies are converging to create a digital landscape that is more immersive, personalized, interconnected and powerful than ever before. 🔆 AI is driving unprecedented advancements in how we interact with technology, enabling systems to adapt and respond to human behavior in real time. 🔆 Biotech is blurring the lines between the physical and digital, opening possibilities for human augmentation and new forms of interaction. 🔆 Decentralization is reshaping power structures, offering the potential for greater equity and autonomy in digital spaces, but also raising questions about governance and accountability. 🔆 Quantum computing is unlocking new possibilities in data processing, encryption, and simulation, providing the computational power needed to support these transformative technologies. As we move towards an internet enhanced with #spatialcomputing, where digital experiences become increasingly embodied and integrated into our physical world, we must prioritize the development of frameworks that protect and empower users. I'm committed to fostering these conversations and helping shape a future where innovation and responsibility go hand in hand. . 📚 Essential reading for understanding this future: "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Shoshana Zuboff "Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" by Max Tegmark "Reality+" by David Chalmers For more on my work and insights: www.ninajanepatel.com 📸 NBC News #CuriosityShapesTomorrow #SpatialComputing #EmbodiedInternet #DigitalSafety #EmergingTech #AI #Biotech #Decentralization

Microsoft’s #AI for Good Lab has launched Project SPARROW, an open-source initiative to enhance #biodiversity monitoring. SPARROW includes blueprints for a solar-powered device with advanced sensors, enabling autonomous operation with minimal environmental impact. Researchers can remotely reprogram these devices. Microsoft is open-sourcing all aspects of SPARROW, including software, hardware plans, and 3D-printable designs, allowing researchers, NGOs, and scientists to build, deploy, and adapt their own SPARROW devices.

In a new #EarthWeek blog by our AI Ethics Board, we explore an under-discussed aspect of the recent boom in #AI – the impact it’s having on the environment – and how IBM is committed to driving sustainable innovation for ourselves and for our clients.     With new Large Language Models expected to consume as much as 15 times more energy than simpler AI models from a decade ago, the ever-increasing rate of development and usage of #AI poses pressing sustainability challenges. However, as stated by my colleague and board member, Christina Shim, we can counteract this by “making more sustainable choices about how models are built, trained, and used, where processing occurs, what infrastructure is used, and how open and collaborative we are along the way.”     This is why we have prioritized sustainability throughout the development of our technologies., More than 70% of our total energy consumption came from renewable energy sources in 2023. Additionally, we have worked to develop energy-efficient AI models like our Granite foundation models, which are smaller and more efficient than larger models, and therefore have a lesser impact on the environment.    As we look forward, we hope that companies worldwide will commit to embedding sustainability practices as part of their AI strategies.

This summer, there was a significant announcement: Accenture launched the AI Refinery framework, developed on NVIDIA AI Foundry, to empower our clients to build and deploy custom Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored to specific business needs using the newly introduced Llama 3.1 models !!! This groundbreaking initiative allows enterprises to infuse their unique data and processes into generative AI, crafting domain-specific models that drive business transformation. The AI Refinery framework includes key features such as domain model customization, a switchboard platform for model selection (this is key to pick the "cheapest" model according to tasks required), an enterprise cognitive brain for data integration, and an agentic architecture (that is the FUTURE!) enabling AI systems to operate autonomously. #AIInnovation #GenerativeAI #Accenture #NVIDIA #DigitalTransformation #Agentic #LLM #AIRefineryFramework #llama3.1 https://lnkd.in/gq_mJJ44
