Human in the loop is super important when deploying gen AI in high stakes applications. I spoke on the Five Star Institute panel on mortgage data security. #mortgageAI #genAI #HITL #DigitalTransformation #mortgagetech

Digital transformation strategy needs to start with a clear future vision, an accurate assessment of current realities, and a stepwise roadmap from the latter to the former. I explain the Talbot West approach. #digitaltransformation #AI #AIstrategy #digitalstrategy #TalbotWest

Stephen Karafiath and I discussed neurosymbolic AI and the shortcomings of large language models on episode eight of the applied AI podcast. #neurosymbolicAI #LLMs

I moderated a panel training CFOs how to leverage AI in their work. We had a great discussion. #ai #cfo #panel #talbotwest

I enjoyed visiting the Palladyne AI headquarters yesterday. This company is developing really cool AI interfaces for robotics systems. There is a natural synergy between them and Talbot West. They optimize production, we optimize company-wide systems and processes. #ai #ml

My Talbot West cofounder Steve and I met with KPMG to learn about their AI platform and how we can use it for their clients. We also discussed how we can complement KPMG offerings. #AI #DigitalTransformation #MergersAndAcquisitions #genAI #TalbotWest #JacobAndra #Consulting

Large language models are awesome and they also suck. Stephen Karafiath and I wrestle with them every day. We advise Talbot West clients on how to use them and how not to use them. Not enough people understand that they are just one tool in a very large toolbox. #LLMs

Excited to welcome Steve Larsen on board as Talbot West’s new VP of sales. Steve brings a robust enterprise sales background and will help take the Talbot West message to the right stakeholders to accelerate our journey.

I enjoyed facilitating an applied AI roundtable discussion with experts and business owners as part of the governor’s AI Summit here in Salt Lake City.

Lucidity Sciences is the only company to fundamentally innovate in the algorithmic layer of AI. Stay tuned: Talbot West and Lucidity collaboration. #AI #ML #digitaltransformation #appliedAI #artificialintelligence #machinelearning

Thrilled to announce that Talbot West is partnering with Lucidity Sciences to bring our AI orchestration expertise to align with their Lumawarp machine learning engine. Lumawarp is 7% more accurate than other leading machine learning models, while being 300x faster.

I’ll be speaking in February at the Naval Postgraduate School. It will be a fireside chat, exploring the intersections of AI and national security.

I’m honored to be joining the advisory board of ⁦Neumont University⁩

“Americans look out for each other.” Very impressed with Secretary Panetta as a person and as an exemplar of civic leadership. In his CHDS fireside chat with Evy Poumpouras, Sec Panetta radiated the sort of bipartisan public service and leadership that we need more of.

Today at the Naval Postgraduate School, I discussed some important implications of AI on national security with Professor Rodrigo Nieto Gomez. Topics included deepfakes, cyberresilience, and the need for standards for interoperable, modular AI capabilities. #ai #cybersecurity

I enjoyed moderating this Silicon Valley panel on AI beyond the hype.
