Online Tech Talk: Supply Chain Security in Machine Learning

Register here to receive joining link: https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2023082409

Description:
Zack Newman is a research scientist at Chainguard, where he builds software to make the software supply chain secure by default. After 4 years as a software engineer and tech lead on Google Cloud SDK, Zach moved to MIT CSAIL to research authenticated data structures and Tor network performance. Now at Chainguard, he’s pursuing his passions for developer tooling, supply chain security, and applied cryptography.

In this fireside chat, Zack joins Hugo Bowne-Anderson, Outerbounds’ Head of Developer Relations, to discuss the intersection of ML systems and supply chain security. In particular, how good ML infrastructure is good ML supply chain security. They’ll discuss how you can secure the machine learning supply chain without sacrificing velocity, how this applies to both software supply chain security and data/ML infrastructure, and what OSS tools (and products) are currently available in the space.

After attending, you’ll have an understanding of:

• How reproducibility in data science is better for science, business, and security;
• How to navigate the tension between cutting-edge technology and careful dependency management;
• How you can secure the machine learning supply chain without sacrificing velocity;
• How ML model provenance and distribution (think HuggingFace, LLMs, and more) are essential to reasoning through ML software security;
• What MLOps can learn from recent developments in DevOps for non-ML workloads;
• Why your models need an "ingredients list” and how to safely build on external models, such as those from HuggingFace;
• Tools you can use to get started today!
