Artificial Intelligence RMF : Generative AI Reference Profile
July 2024 This document is a cross-sectoral profile of and companion resource for the AI RMF 1.0 for Generative AI. A profile is an implementation of the AI RMF functions, categories, and subcategories for a specific setting, application, or technology – in this case, Generative AI (GAI) – based on the requirements, risk tolerance, and resources of the Framework user.
Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0)
January 2023 Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have significant potential to transform society and people’s lives… AI technologies, however, also pose risks that can negatively impact individuals, groups, organizations, communities, society, the environment, and the planet… Without proper controls, AI systems can amplify, perpetuate, or exacerbate inequitable or undesirable outcomes for individuals and communities.

Some L2 Data Trends Post-Dencun
August 7, 2024 While Ethereum is well on its way to the “Pectra” upgrade, it just had a major upgrade this past March. Called “Dencun,” this successful upgrade included EIP-4844 and other Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Dencun introduced blobs — a temporary data store on consensus that made it much cheaper for second layers (L2s) to secure their ledger alongside the Ethereum main chain (L1). This lowered fees for everyone.

Do you want to know what's in Big Data ?
March 5, 2024 This paper, from Allen Institute for AI (et Al), entitled WHAT’S IN MY BIG DATA? (WIMBD), describes a platform and a set of sixteen analyses that allow experts to reveal and compare the contents of large text corpora. WIMBD builds on two basic capabilities—count and search—at scale, which allows us to analyze more than 35 terabytes on a standard compute node.
