Building Reliable AI: Navigating the Challenges with Observability

THIS WILL BE A HYBRID TALK. Online attendees can connect.

As AI systems become increasingly embedded in critical applications across industries, ensuring their reliability is paramount. Yet, challenges such as AI hallucinations, model drift, biases, and compliance with regulatory standards pose significant obstacles.

Join us for an in depth dive into these challenges and discover how advanced AI observability solutions can empower you to build more reliable and trustworthy AI systems. We'll delve into:

• Understanding AI Reliability Challenges: Learn about common pitfalls in deploying AI models, including issues like hallucinations where models generate plausible but incorrect information, and how these can impact real world applications.
• The Role of AI Observability: Discover why traditional monitoring isn't enough for AI systems. We'll discuss the importance of comprehensive observability that encompasses software, data, and AI specific metrics to maintain system performance and standards.
• Introducing Pythia: Get an inside look at Pythia, an AI observability platform designed to address these challenges head on. See how continuous monitoring and real time alerting can help detect and mitigate issues such as AI hallucinations, biases, and compliance risks in production environments and how we benchmark Pythia itself.
• Best Practices for AI and Big Data Developers: Learn actionable strategies to integrate AI observability into your existing MLOps pipelines. We'll cover how to enhance model explainability, ensure fairness, and maintain privacy and security in your AI apps.

Who Should Attend:
● AI and Machine Learning Developers
● MLOps Engineers and Managers
● Data Scientists and Big Data Professionals
● Anyone interested in AI reliability, ethics, and observability

Big Data Bellevue Meetup was created by Intelius and takes place in downtown Bellevue. Intelius provides the only centralized service for delivering comprehensive information about people, places, organizations, and their connection to each other. Our state-of-the-art big data technology platform is utilized across a wide range of industries to implement specific solutions.

On the third Thursday of each month, we invite an industry leader in Big Data to give a presentation followed by a lively discussion on big data technology and its impact on business world. Past speakers include researchers from the University of Washington, as well as senior members of various companies, such as Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, IBM, MapR and inome.

Microsoft graciously provides free refreshments.
