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...

Enhancing LLM Performance: Buffer of Thought and Mixture of Agents

  As Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to advance, researchers are exploring innovative techniques to further enhance their accuracy and usefulness. Two promising approaches in this domain are Buffer of Thought and Mixture of Agents. Buffer of Thoughts The Buffer of Thoughts  technique aims to improve the reasoning capabilities of LLMs by introducing an intermediate step in the generation process. Instead of directly producing the final output, the model first generates a "buffer" or a series of intermediate thoughts, which serve as a scratchpad for the model to reason and plan its response. This buffer allows the model to break down complex tasks into smaller steps, perform multi-step reasoning, and maintain a coherent line of thought throughout the generation process. By externalizing its thought process, the model can better organise its knowledge and arrive at more logical and consistent outputs. The BoT approach has shown promising results in tasks that require multi...

Claude 3.5 Sonnet, literary analysis capabilities, an experiment

 There are those in the AI observer community that have been suggesting of late that 'AI has plateaued' which reveals, to me, a lack of understanding of how models develop. It's not iterative design but step changes we are witnessing. The differences between Claude 3 Sonnet and 3.5 Sonnet are stark.  One test I often carry out to asses the current capabilities of LLMs is to request a simple prompt to analyse an unpublished poem, commentating on the style and literary devices employed. The outputs have improved significantly over the 18 months I have employed this approach. This is my recent attempt. The poem is self written, self published (so not widely available) to ensure that it's unlikely to have found its way into the training data. For added context, implied in the text, this was written during a residency at a Museum and Art Gallery and came from a conversation with a member of staff about his late father. Calm is museum archival software. PROMPT. "analyse...
