Steve shares what his followers are interested in hearing about right now. We discuss a variety of industries that are being disrupted and the AI technologies driving that disruption, from autonomous drones to large language models. Steve describes the introduction of bias to these systems through the data they are trained on, and highlights this as a risk. Steve discusses the introduction of a data-centric approach to machine learning, as opposed to the more traditional model-centric approach.
