Data Protector

JANUARY 29, 2017

We have 480 days to go before the General Data Protection Regulation is “in force”. And then what? That's the question I’m being increasingly asked these days. Does it really mean that in 481 days, European privacy regulators will be heralding the first megafine for non-compliance with one of the GDPR’s more obscure requirements? I think not. But it will undoubtedly lead to greater unease amongst the audit committees of many firms, particularly those in the (regulated) financial services sector,

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. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

On February 2, 2017, the UK government published a white paper entitled The United Kingdom’s exit from and new partnership with the European Union (the “white paper”).
