AI is already transforming the business of government. But the positive impacts of this transformation, from increasing the efficiency of public services to enhancing the effectiveness of tax dollars, are still in the earliest stages. Public sector organizations generally have access to the same talent, software models, and hardware infrastructure as any private sector company, but they face a number of relatively unique practical challenges that hinder their operationalization of AI.

Advancements in artificial intelligence promise efficiency gains for financial institutions. AI-powered applications can revolutionize an organization’s risk management, fraud detection, compliance monitoring, and other processes. Financial services companies have smart data scientists and good infrastructure needed for deploying AI. But their ability to rapidly develop and deploy AI applications is hampered by several unique challenges.

Takeaways from MLSys Seminars with Chip HuyenIn November, I had the opportunity to come back to Stanford to participate in MLSys Seminars, a series about Machine Learning Systems. It was great to see the growing interest of the academic community in building practical AI applications. Here is a recording of the talk.The talk was originally about the principles of good…

We love meeting people in the data science and machine learning community. Here are a few upcoming events where you can meet Snorkelers.

There’s a lot of excitement about the potential for AI to improve healthcare. This is driven by compelling advances across a wide range of applications including drug discovery, radiology, pathology, electronic medical record (EMR) intelligence, clinical trials, and more. There are also many challenges for development and deployment of AI for healthcare.

We are inventing a new way to build enterprise AI applications. Taking a data-centric approach, we are making machine learning iterable, faster to deploy, and ultimately more practical.That is a fantastic opportunity, but it also presents one of our biggest challenges – figuring out how to bridge the gap between developers at the vanguard of machine learning and business leaders…

Today I’m excited to announce Snorkel AI’s launch out of stealth! Snorkel AI, which spun out of the Stanford AI Lab in 2019, was founded on two simple premises: first, that the labeled training data machine learning models learn from is increasingly what determines the success or failure of AI applications. And second, that we can do much better than labeling this…
