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 tech utopia of endless leisure time is here: goodbye jobs

  'AI eliminated nearly 4,000 jobs in May' so it's reported by hallenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. Following on from reports by IBM et al that thousands of job cuts will occur due to AI replacement, there is no need to wait for the utopia of AI allowing humans more leisure time, as that's already here, in the form of redundancies, if we are to accept the reports findings. 'With the exception of Education, Government, Industrial Manufacturing, and Utilities, every industry has seen an increase in layoffs this year.' What's particularly notable is that it's the Tech sector that's the most affected from job cuts in the US economy: 'The Technology sector announced the most cuts in May with 22,887, for a total of 136,831 this year, up 2,939% from the 4,503 cuts announced in the same period last year. The Tech sector has now announced the most cuts for the sector since 2001, when 168,395 cuts were announced for the entire year. ' Another reason ...
