#BLACKHISTORYMONTH: FICO's Educational #Analytics Challenge has given me an extraordinary opportunity to learn about the history of #HBCUs and the critical role they play in today's society. Right now, #diversity of thought matters more than ever, in everything from #datascience to conversations.

#DEEPSEEK's small language model (#SLM) has made a huge splash in the #AI world. "My approach to achieving Responsible #GenAI concentrates LLM applications further into a 'focused language model' (#FLM), a new concept in that SLM dev is focused around a very narrow domain or task." lnkd.in/dSc2nkh3

NOT OK: Since when is it been OK to use citizens as #GenAI #chatbot #beta testers? Exposing the public to biased #AI #decisioning is sloppy at best and illegal at worst. Check out @State_Scoop's reporting on #NYC's #MyCity Chatbot.

What could go wrong?

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that although his chatbot provides some wrong answers, he believes testing should done publicly.
