#BLACKHISTORYMONTH: FICO's Educational #Analytics Challenge has given me an extraordinary opportunity to learn about the history of #HBCUs and the critical role they play in today's society. Right now, #diversity of thought matters more than ever, in everything from #datascience to conversations.

#DEEPSEEK's small language model (#SLM) has made a huge splash in the #AI world. "My approach to achieving Responsible #GenAI concentrates LLM applications further into a 'focused language model' (#FLM), a new concept in that SLM dev is focused around a very narrow domain or task." lnkd.in/dSc2nkh3

After giving wrong answers, NYC chatbot to stay online for testing | StateScoop New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that although his chatbot provides some wrong answers, he believes testing should done publicly.

NOT OK: Since when is it been OK to use citizens as #GenAI #chatbot #beta testers? Exposing the public to biased #AI #decisioning is sloppy at best and illegal at worst. Check out @State_Scoop's reporting on #NYC's #MyCity Chatbot.

What could go wrong?

A third of banks ban employees from using gen AI. Here's why. False information, job losses, diminishing skills and human interaction, among other concerns, have bankers worried about deploying both generative artificial intelligence, like ChatGPT, and more long-accepted forms of AI like machine learning, according to a new survey of American Banker readers.

#GENAI hashtag#BAN: @pennycrosman at @AmerBanker digs deep into why banks are saying "no" to #GenerativeAI #GenAI. There's strong support for #ResponsibleAI; 75% of bankers said stronger guardrails need to be in place to govern the use of #AI in banking.

Why Citi is rolling out generative AI to all its developers Helping programmers become more productive, modernizing legacy systems and conducting compliance assessments are among the hundreds of gen AI use cases in production or in the pipeline for Shadman Zafar, co-CIO for Citi and lead for the bank's generative AI work.

"Move fast and break things" doesn't cut it with #GenerativeAI; deployed impulsively, it can create a #flywheel of vulnerabilities. I appreciate @pennycrosman's thoughtful @AmerBanker reporting on how @Citi is rolling out #GenAI to its 40,000 developers.

FTC finalizes rule protecting governments, businesses from AI impersonation scams | StateScoop A new rule gives the FTC stronger tools to combat AI impersonation scams related to businesses and government agencies.

#LLMs’ super-human impersonation capabilities make #fraud detection tremendously challenging. ⁦@FICO⁩’s #Scams model is working on protecting financial #transactions before they leave accounts, as #fraudsters leverage LLMs for personalization.

#ICYMI: It’s almost hard to believe there’s more to #AI than #GenerativeAI – but it’s true! Really enjoyed presenting with Uri Tintore last week at #WAICF2O24, on how Belvo & @FICO are β€œUsing #blockchain, #ResponsibleAI and #openbanking to expand #creditaccess” in #Brazil.
