Learn how many enterprises have monetized their LLMs! Hazem El-Hammamy from Microsoft shares how you can leverage Azure AI Foundry to monetize your LLMs, SLMs, and other agentic IP. We discuss:

• Model Catalog: Access to first-party and third-party models like GPT-4, Meta's Llama, and more.
• Models as a Service: Simplified deployment and monetization without needing your own GPUs.
• Workshops & Events: Upcoming sessions on real-time intelligence, data warehousing, and AI insights with Microsoft Fabric.
• Success Stories: Featuring partners like NTT DATA with their Tsuzumi model.

Stay tuned for more updates and join us in our upcoming workshops! #MicrosoftAzure #AI #LLM #TechInnovation

Dave Bartlett, CTO of SpokeSafety, talks to us about how the miniaturization and repackaging of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) allows SpokeSafety to make vehicles and other mobility devices such has bikes, scooter, skateboards, and one-wheels visible to each other, increasing road safety for everyone, even the most vulnerable.

Dr. Brian Green joins us from Santa Clara University, a private Jesuit (Catholic) University in California.  Dr. Green is the Director for Technology Ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, the largest center for applied ethics in the US.  He works closely with many Silicon Valley and Fortune 500 companies to help them think thru the ethical implications of technology advancements.  He is a co-chair of the Responsible Use of Technology group at the World Economic Forum and is a member of the Safety-Critical AI expert group at the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society. He also helps to convene several academic discussion groups on AI and human nature involving the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Culture.

This is a follow-on discussion to Episode 6 (Kosher Autonomous Cars), where we discussed how a Jewish ethical framework would approach some of the life-or-death decisions that artificial intelligence  agents are now making on a daily basis.
