💡 #TheBridgeLeaders Spotlight is on MLCommons Founder, David Kanter! MLCommons recently announced its AI Safety v0.5 Proof of Concept, achieving a major milestone towards standard benchmarks for evaluating AI Safety. Learn more about this and the work David and the team at MLCommons are doing in his #TheBridgeLeaders profile! A little sample here: Q. How are you currently bridging the gap between innovation and regulation? MLCommons is an industry consortium focused on making AI better for everyone. Our AI Safety effort is focused on building standard benchmarks and tooling for evaluating the safety of generative AI and enabling technically sound and risk-based policy regulation: Benchmarks provide a technical toolbox for risk-based frameworks to help maximize benefits and minimize risks. Q. Job advice in three words? Kindness, learning, integrity Q. What can innovators learn from policymakers? Policymakers tend to have a wider view of the world - policy impacts many people, organizations, etc. and that is a very useful perspective. Similarly, policymakers are used to aligning broad and diverse constituencies and concisely communicating to a wide audience. Q. What can policymakers learn from innovators? Generally, innovation requires extreme focus on a problem and deep technical understanding. Much more in David's profile!
