Data Protector

SEPTEMBER 22, 2017

Whenever I visit a clinic for a health check, I’m asked a slightly different set of questions. Each clinic is very professionally run, and, until recently I haven’t been unduly concerned that the same questions aren’t always asked.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial.

Can there be a less desirable appointment than siting on a Parliamentary Committee, scrutinising text that many seasoned data protection professionals have thrown their arms up in the air in despair over? Given that the Bill is intended to last a generation, (the current Act will have lasted 20 years by the time of its repeal) , surely we deserve something we can more readily understand.
