QFM021: Machine Intelligence Reading List - June 2024

We kick off this month's reading list with the transformative potential of AI in executive roles. If AI Can Do Your Job, Maybe It Can Also Replace Your CEO (nytimes.com) highlights AI's growing capability to manage high-level decision-making tasks traditionally reserved for CEOs, suggesting a future where AI could play a pivotal role in corporate leadership, albeit with human oversight to ensure strategic alignment and accountability. If it can take the jobs of call centre staff, designers, and software engineers, is there something so special about executive jobs that leaves them immune?

Another theme is the drive to understand the inner workings of gen-AI systems more deeply. Here's what's really going on inside an LLM's neural network (arstechnica.com), unveiling how AI models like Claude operate on the inside. These studies reveal the intricate patterns within neural networks, enhancing our ability to interpret and potentially steer AI behaviour in critical applications such as security and bias mitigation.

We then examine the practical experience of deploying AI at scale with What We Learned from a Year of Building with LLMs (Part I) (oreilly.com). The O'Reilly article provides lessons from a year of building with LLMs, emphasizing the importance of robust prompting techniques and structured workflows.

Finally, this month's list touches on AI deployment's ethical and operational considerations. What's the future for generative AI? The Turing Lectures with Mike Wooldridge (youtube.com) examines the importance of addressing bias, misinformation, and ethical concerns in AI's advancement.
