About this episode

David Kanter, Executive Director at MLCommons, discusses the work they’re doing with MLPerf Benchmarks, creating the world’s first industry standard approach to measuring AI speed and safety. He also shares ways they’re testing AI and LLMs for harm, to measure—and, over time, reduce—the potential harms of AI. Key Takeaways: 

  • How they’re using research to help build public confidence in AI and emerging technologies

  • The types of questions enterprise customers should ask their system providers

  • AI safety, and the ways MLCommons is using benchmarks to offer standardized measurements about the potential harm of using AI

  • Unique applications of AI, human creativity as the only limit on where AI can go, and how we can make analog experiences more intelligent in the future
