Advitya works on Responsible AI at Microsoft as a Machine Learning Engineer 2. I am extremely stoked to present this incredibly nuanced discussion on the ethics and responsibilities that come with building mass-market generative AI tools. We discuss the technical foundations of Advitya’s career that brought him to this cutting edge of technology, and also go over how GenAI tools by big tech navigate critical concerns such as privacy, ethics, inherent biases that creep in all the time; and the aspect I was most curious about - WHO is the actual decision maker when it comes to flagging something as problematic and/or offensive.
