MuckAI Girish Op-Ed: Tackling Bias with Synthetic Data

As we all wade through the incredible era of life dominated by Artificial Intelligence (AI), we can’t help but notice that not everything is perfect. In particular, it is not difficult to notice that bias is inherent in the datasets that we rely on so much for making AI transform everything, but often result in upending our lives. AI models in general and Generative AI (GenAI) models in particular are trained with available datasets. If this data turns out to be biased, then every aspect of the model and its prediction or classification or recommendation could be biased and could also have a massive bullwhip effect. Data remains a fundamental bottleneck in our ability to let businesses and consumers realize the full potential of the expected and associated benefits

MuckAI Girish Op-Ed: Synthetic data for scenario analysis

Dr MuckAI Girish writes: A majority of enterprises are now working with genAI projects, albeit, at varying levels. AI practitioners realize that creating scenarios and training their models across these and measuring the outcome to tweak the models are necessary to realize effective value from these models. One of the biggest hurdles in scenario analysis is the lack of access to relevant data.

McKinsey and Company, in a June 2023 report, says that Generative AI is posed to unleash the next wave of productivity and estimates that generative AI could add the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually across the 63 use cases. Moreover, industry pundits pretty much agree that Generative AI will impact each and every vertical significantly. CXOs now know that Generative AI not only increases productivity and operational efficiency but is necessary for sustained competitive advantage. They have initiated projects with utmost urgency, allocated significant budgets and tasked talented people to make Generative AI a part of the company ethos. This is possibly the biggest, fastest and most widely applicable tectonic shift the world has seen.

MuckAI Girish column: Synthetic data for enterprises

MuckAI Girish writes: Rapid innovations over the past few years have yielded models and encodings that give data scientists enterprise grade software that can generate synthetic data to augment their dataset to make their models perform to their expectations. Synthetic data vests power in the hands of data scientists to align their models to achieve superior business outcomes – something much coveted by the senior leaders.

Muckai Girish column: Generative AI for Enterprises

Muckai Girish says: When OpenAI introduced ChatGPT in late 2022, it reached one million users in a mere FIVE days. For reference, to reach the same milestone, it took Facebook 10 months in 2004 and Netflix 3.5 years in 1999. Moreover, ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly active users in two months after launch – a world record. Indeed, why are users flocking to ChatGPT?

The Rise of AI-Generated Data

It is hard to believe that our world is running out of data. Ironically, when we are all unequivocally aware that we are generating more data than ever. The Generative AI (GenAI) revolution has made companies building foundation models use up literally every ounce of publicly available data to train their data-hungry models.

The Role of Synthetic Data in Today’s Data-Centric World

As xAI announced a massive $6 Billion fundraising round at a whopping $24 Billion valuation, Elon Musk has spoken publicly about the need for massive amounts of data to train models that are echoed in his comments from a month ago “The two sources of unlimited data are synthetic data and real-world video,” and that “Tesla has a pretty big advantage in real-world video.”
