Challenges in Large Language Model Development and AI Ethics
Author: Gupta, Brij
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
The development of large language models has resulted in artificial intelligence advancements promising transformations and benefits across various industries and sectors. However, this progress is not without its challenges. The scale and complexity of these models pose significant technical hurdles, including issues related to bias, transparency, and data privacy. As these models integrate into decision-making processes, ethical concerns about their societal impact, such as potential job displacement or harmful stereotype reinforcement, become more urgent. Addressing these challenges requires a collaborative effort from business owners, computer engineers, policymakers, and sociologists. Fostering effective research for solutions to address AI ethical challenges may ensure that large language model developments benefit society in a positive way. Challenges in Large Language Model Development and AI Ethics addresses complex ethical dilemmas and challenges of the development of large language models and artificial intelligence. It analyzes ethical considerations involved in the design and implementation of large language models, while exploring aspects like bias, accountability, privacy, and social impacts. This book covers topics such as law and policy, model architecture, and machine learning, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, sociologists, policymakers, business owners, academicians, researchers, and scientists.

The Global Monsoon System
Author: Chih-Pei Chang
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814343412
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 609
Book Description
This book presents a current review of the science of monsoon research and forecasting. The contents are based on the invited reviews presented at the World Meteorological Organization''s Fourth International Workshop on Monsoons in late 2008, with subsequent manuscripts revised from 2009 to early 2010. The book builds on the concept that the monsoons in various parts of the globe can be viewed as components of an integrated global monsoon system, while emphasizing that significant region-specific characteristics are present in individual monsoon regions. The topics covered include all major monsoon regions and time scales (mesoscale, synoptic, intraseasonal, interannual, decadal, and climate change). It is intended to provide an updated comprehensive review of the current status of knowledge, modeling capability, and future directions in the research of monsoon systems around the world.

Artificial Intelligence Methods in the Environmental Sciences
Author: Sue Ellen Haupt
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402091192
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
How can environmental scientists and engineers use the increasing amount of available data to enhance our understanding of planet Earth, its systems and processes? This book describes various potential approaches based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including neural networks, decision trees, genetic algorithms and fuzzy logic. Part I contains a series of tutorials describing the methods and the important considerations in applying them. In Part II, many practical examples illustrate the power of these techniques on actual environmental problems. International experts bring to life ways to apply AI to problems in the environmental sciences. While one culture entwines ideas with a thread, another links them with a red line. Thus, a “red thread“ ties the book together, weaving a tapestry that pictures the ‘natural’ data-driven AI methods in the light of the more traditional modeling techniques, and demonstrating the power of these data-based methods.
