In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), the dialogue often veers between the extremes of stringent regulation, like the European Union’s AI Act, and laissez-faire approaches that risk unbridled technological advances without sufficient safeguards. Amidst this polarized debate, the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) has emerged as a promising alternative approach that addresses the ethical, social, and economic complexities introduced by AI, while also supporting continued innovation.

Understanding the Capabilities of GenAI

It's difficult to understand some technologies because they're better experienced than described. I've found GenAI to be one example where it's difficult to grasp the full range of capabilities unless you see some of it in action. Over the last year, I've given a number of presentations that tried to contextualize GenAI for the audience by demonstrating relevant use cases. I compiled them in this long master deck, which I periodically update and am sharing in the hope that it may spark some ideas for you.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have ushered in a new era of artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrating remarkable capabilities in language generation, translation, and reasoning. Yet, LLMs often stumble over basic math problems, posing a problem for their use in settings—including education—where math is essential. However, these limitations are being addressed through improvements in the models themselves along with better prompting strategies.

Introducing the TechEnabled Podcast

Introducing the TechEnabled Podcast

I have a new podcast series at AEI called TechEnabled where I'm exploring not only the ways in which technology is enabling new models and systems, but also the way it provides deeper - and often real time - insights that can help us better understand the trends within our communities and the broader economy. We have great organizations lined up including Safe Graph, US Digital Response, CMU’s COVIDcast, Thumbtack, GovLabs, PolicyMap, EMSI, Burning Glass, and the Mobility Institute.
