@DavidAdkins leads AI engineering teams at Meta that straddle research and production. He has the front seat to some of the most exciting AI developments in the industry. How does he do it? Here David talks about the challenges https://t.co/bKEEKkq1nJ

In @BarbieTheMovie, the Moon's orientation places Barbie World between 20 & 40 deg North Latitude on Earth. Palm trees further constrain latitude between 20 & 30 deg. The Sun & Moon rose & set over the ocean. If it’s in the US, Barbie World lands somewhere in the Florida Keys.

@DavidClinchNews @PennyRiordan1 I don’t have one but send me a DM and we can connect.

So excited to talk about my new and old worlds colliding and the upcoming AI revolution. Thanks @LocalMediaAssoc and @localmediarocks for having me!

Awesome session underway! AI Threats and Opportunities

Hey @Twitter, it seems a bit weird that you want me to pay to better protect your system from fraudulent action…

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

Understanding how and why #AI works can be difficult for everyday users and others, but Meta AI is aiming to change that. We recently shared a prototype AI system card tool and explained more about it on our blog: https://t.co/Hpl5YxQqpc

@ThaKidd04 You’d have ended up in a ditch with your ability to follow orders.

[David Adkins @DavidAdkins]

More than a year of research and I’m excited for our team’s first public effort to provide transparency in AI. System Cards, a new resource for understanding how AI systems work https://t.co/HuftIB5BFg

@ThaKidd04 @FlyFrontier @FrontierCare I’m flying @Delta and haven’t had any issues …except for not getting upgraded to first class 3 days in advance. See you in Vegas. :)

Happy New Year! I decided to ring in 2022 with a little cooking and my favorite person. Next year let’s hope Covid finally stops spoiling plans.

[David Adkins @DavidAdkins]

I stand by my statement.

Buffalo pizza politics

[Jerome Pesenti @an_open_mind]

Facebook was one of the first companies to deploy face recognition at scale. Today @meta is announcing that it is turning it off. #ResponsibleAI is often deciding when to use, or in this case, not to use, AI. https://t.co/bPiUCpIT8G

[David Adkins @DavidAdkins]

"We need to weigh the positive use cases for facial recognition against growing societal concerns, especially as regulators have yet to provide clear rules." Excited to see our Responsible AI efforts at Meta start to pay off in big ways! https://t.co/z4a0ZiK8kl

[David Adkins @DavidAdkins]

@Nale 100% true. It’s hard to be a good manager and easy to be a bad one, at least in the short term. But it always catches up.

[David Adkins @DavidAdkins]

So proud of my team helping to advance #responsibleai at #facebook and giving back to the open source community. https://t.co/woOZD58Ljr
