Engineering.com Interview with Dr. Michael Connell, Enthought Chief Operating Officer:
How to Deploy AI Responsibly
Engineering.com spoke with Enthought COO Michael Connell, PhD to discuss how engineers can balance privacy, safety and limitations to leverage the power of AI-powered tools responsibly.
Connell has an extensive background in engineering and education as well as in how to leverage AI and machine learning to solve complex scientific challenges. He also recently participated in The White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy call for public input to inform the U.S. AI strategy.
In the article, Connell discusses:
- AI’s profound impact and recent disruption
- Concerns around (lack of) regulation around AI and large language models (LLMs)
- Thoughts on how to integrate responsibility into the training and usage of LLMs and other AI-powered tools
