Monthly Roundup: SB 1047, GraphRAG, and AI Avatars in the Workplace
About this episode
Paco Nathan is the founder of Derwen, a boutique consultancy focused on Data and AI. This episode is part of our series of monthly roundups and covers: the proposed California Senate Bill 1047 for regulating AI models, including its feasibility and potential unintended consequences. We also discuss the rising popularity of graph retrieval augmented generation (GraphRAG) techniques to mitigate hallucinations in large language models, while acknowledging the current limitations and future potential of integrating symbolic and statistical AI approaches. Additionally, we explore the concept of AI avatars in the workplace, highlighting the challenges and ethical considerations surrounding digital twins and agent-based systems.
