Thanks to @Neumontu for having me out to give a talk on advanced harness engineering for AI systems. Harness engineering will be one of the defining disciplines of the coming years, and @TalbotWest4093 is leading the way.

Talbot West CEO @jacobandra presented to a large group of leaders in higher education about the future of the sector, and the impacts AI is already having and will continue to have. The presentation was well received.

I enjoyed moderating this Silicon Valley panel on AI beyond the hype.

Today at the Naval Postgraduate School, I discussed some important implications of AI on national security with Professor Rodrigo Nieto Gomez. Topics included deepfakes, cyberresilience, and the need for standards for interoperable, modular AI capabilities. #ai #cybersecurity

“Americans look out for each other.”

Very impressed with Secretary Panetta as a person and as an exemplar of civic leadership.

In his CHDS fireside chat with Evy Poumpouras, Sec Panetta radiated the sort of bipartisan public service and leadership that we need more of.

I enjoyed facilitating an applied AI roundtable discussion with experts and business owners as part of the governor’s AI Summit here in Salt Lake City.

Excited to welcome Steve Larsen on board as Talbot West’s new VP of sales. Steve brings a robust enterprise sales background and will help take the Talbot West message to the right stakeholders to accelerate our journey.

[Jacob Andra @jacobandra]

Large language models are awesome and they also suck.

Stephen Karafiath and I wrestle with them every day.

We advise Talbot West clients on how to use them and how not to use them.

Not enough people understand that they are just one tool in a very large toolbox.

My Talbot West cofounder Steve and I met with KPMG to learn about their AI platform and how we can use it for their clients. We also discussed how we can complement KPMG offerings. #AI #DigitalTransformation #MergersAndAcquisitions #genAI #TalbotWest #JacobAndra #Consulting

I enjoyed visiting the Palladyne AI headquarters yesterday. This company is developing really cool AI interfaces for robotics systems. There is a natural synergy between them and Talbot West. They optimize production, we optimize company-wide systems and processes. #ai #ml

@Krishnasagrawal What do you define “AI agent” as? AI that can complete a task autonomously? Or some other benchmark?
