An AI DAM?

 AI can be incorporated into a DAM (digital asset management) system to enhance its functionality and efficiency. A DAM system is a software platform that stores, organises, and distributes digital assets such as images, videos, audio files, documents, and more. AI can help a DAM system in various ways, such as:


  • Automating the metadata generation and tagging of digital assets, using techniques such as computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning. This can save time and effort for the users and improve the accuracy and consistency of the metadata.
  • Enabling smart search and retrieval of digital assets, using natural language queries, semantic analysis, and relevance ranking. This can help users find the most suitable assets for their needs and preferences, and avoid duplication or redundancy of assets.
  • Providing content analysis and insights, using data mining, sentiment analysis, and content optimization. This can help users understand the performance and impact of their digital assets, and suggest ways to improve them or create new ones.
  • Enhancing the user experience and interface, using chatbots, voice assistants, and recommendation systems. This can help users interact with the DAM system more naturally and intuitively, and receive personalised suggestions and feedback.


AI can thus add value to a DAM system by automating tasks, improving quality, increasing efficiency, and delivering insights. However, AI also poses some challenges and risks for a DAM system, such as:


  • Ensuring the security and privacy of the digital assets and the user data, especially when using cloud-based or third-party AI services. This requires implementing proper encryption, authentication, authorization, and auditing mechanisms.
  • Maintaining the transparency and explainability of the AI algorithms and decisions, especially when they affect the user rights or interests. This requires providing clear documentation, justification, and accountability for the AI processes and outcomes.
  • Avoiding the bias and discrimination of the AI models and outputs, especially when they affect the user diversity or inclusion. This requires ensuring the fairness, accuracy, and representativeness of the data sources, methods, and metrics used by the AI systems.


AI can be a powerful tool for enhancing a DAM system, but it also requires careful design, implementation, evaluation, and governance. A DAM system that incorporates AI should balance the benefits and risks of AI, and align with the ethical principles and best practices of both fields.

The Whispers in the Machine: Why Prompt Injection Remains a Persistent Threat to LLMs

 Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how we interact with technology, offering incredible potential for tasks ranging from content creation to complex analysis. However, as these powerful tools become more integrated into our lives, so too do the novel security challenges they present. Among these, prompt injection attacks stand out as a particularly persistent and evolving threat. These attacks, as one recent paper (Safety at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey of Large Model Safety https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05206) highlights, involve subtly manipulating LLMs to deviate from their intended purpose, and the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At its core, a prompt injection attack involves embedding a malicious instruction within an otherwise normal request, tricking the LLM into producing unintended – and potentially harmful – outputs. Think of it as slipping a secret, contradictory instruction into a seemingly harmless conversation. What makes prompt inj...

The Future of Work in the Age of AGI: Opportunities, Challenges, and Resistance

 In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked intense debate about the future of work. As we edge closer to the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI), these discussions have taken on a new urgency. This post explores various perspectives on employment in a post-AGI world, including the views of those who may resist such changes. It follows on from others I've written on the impacts of these technologies. The Potential for Widespread Job Displacement Avital Balwit, an employee at Anthropic, argues in her article " My Last Five Years of Work " that AGI is likely to cause significant job displacement across various sectors, including knowledge-based professions. This aligns with research by Korinek (2024), which suggests that the transition to AGI could trigger a race between automation and capital accumulation, potentially leading to a collapse in wages for many workers. Emerging Opportunities and Challenges Despite the ...
