There are a lot of benefits to open-source models in AI. But the more open a model is, the more vulnerable it is to being misused. In the latest episode of Approximately Correct, Mila researcher and Chief AI Officer at Cohere Joelle Pineau talks about the marginal risk approach she uses, focusing on measuring the change in a specific harm before and after a model’s release, to lead to safer, more secure AI models.

Participating in the Amii Level Up Program a little over a year ago was an incredible experience that has meaningfully shaped my understanding of AI and the trajectory of my company. When I first joined the program, my focus was narrow-centred on a single area of ML application within our business. But through the deep learning, mentorship, and collaborative discussions with Amii’s experts, we were able to uncover four additional areas of AI application that have since become integral to our innovation strategy. The impact has been transformative: - We’ve strengthened our intellectual property portfolio, - Expanded our product solutions, and - Accelerated our international growth and operations What stood out most to me was how Amii’s approach goes beyond technical training. The program provided a strategic framework that helped us bridge research and commercialization, which is often elusive for early-stage ventures. I’m deeply grateful to the Amii (Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute) team for their guidance and for building a community that genuinely supports innovation across Canada. For any founder or team looking to harness AI as a driver of growth and impact, I can’t recommend the Level Up Program enough. #Amii #LevelUpProgram #AI #MachineLearning #Innovation #Vaster
