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 AI Dilemma and "Gollem-Class" AIs

From the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. One of the more astute critics of the tech industry, Tristan Harris, who has recently given stark evidence to Congress. It is worth watching both of these videos, as the Congress address gives a context of PR industry and it's regular abuses. "If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their

Beware the Orca, the challenge to ChatGPT and Palm2 is here

  So Google's 'we have no moat' paper was correct. If you train an LLM wisely then it's cost effective and cheap to produce a small LLM that is able to compete or even beat established, costly LLMs, as Microsoft has just found. It's another excellent video from AI Explained, who goes through some of the training procedures, which I won't get into here. Orca, is a model that learns from large foundation models (LFMs) like GPT-4 and ChatGPT by imitating their reasoning process. Orca uses rich signals such as explanations and complex instructions to improve its performance on various tasks. Orca outperforms other instruction-tuned models and achieves similar results to ChatGPT on zero-shot reasoning benchmarks and professional and academic exams. The paper suggests that learning from explanations is a promising way to enhance model skills. Smaller models are often overestimated in their abilities compared to LFMs, and need more rigorous evaluation methods. Explana

What is happening inside of the black box?

  Neel Nanda is involved in Mechanistic Interpretability research at DeepMind, formerly of AnthropicAI, what's fascinating about the research conducted by Nanda is he gets to peer into the Black Box to figure out how different types of AI models work. Anyone concerned with AI should understand how important this is. In this video Nanda discusses some of his findings, including 'induction heads', which turn out to have some vital properties.  Induction heads are a type of attention head that allows a language model to learn long-range dependencies in text. They do this by using a simple algorithm to complete token sequences like [A][B] ... [A] -> [B]. For example, if a model is given the sequence "The cat sat on the mat," it can use induction heads to predict that the word "mat" will be followed by the word "the". Induction heads were first discovered in 2022 by a team of researchers at OpenAI. They found that induction heads were present in
