Technology Silos Are Not a Systems Problem. They Are an Execution Problem.

Contract Research Organizations sit at the operational center of modern life sciences. They manage clinical execution, data integrity, regulatory rigor, and delivery timelines that directly affect patient outcomes and sponsor confidence.
Yet many CROs are still operating on fragmented technology stacks that were never designed to scale together. The result is not just inefficiency. It is delayed insight, increased operational risk, and underutilized data at a time when speed and intelligence matter most.
The problem is rarely the number of systems in place. The problem is that those systems were procured independently, optimized locally, and never architected as a unified platform.
For executives, this is no longer a technical inconvenience. It is a structural constraint on growth and innovation.

What a CRO Is Really Managing Today

A Contract Research Organization enables pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies to move faster without compromising compliance. CROs orchestrate clinical data collection, trial operations, regulatory documentation, analytics, and reporting across highly regulated environments.
In practice, this means operating across EDC systems, CTMS platforms, safety databases, data warehouses, analytics tools, and regulatory systems. Each does its job well in isolation. Few are designed to collaborate.
When systems cannot communicate cleanly, teams compensate with manual workarounds. Data is rekeyed, reconciled, validated twice, and reviewed again. Decision latency increases. Risk exposure grows quietly.
This is how technology debt becomes execution drag.

The Market Is Growing. Expectations Are Rising Faster.

The global Contract Research Organization (CRO) services market is projected to be worth approximately $92.27 billion in 2025, up from about $85.54 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow toward $175 billion by 2032.
That creates a clear divide in the market.
CROs that operate on integrated, intelligence-ready platforms gain leverage. CROs that remain siloed absorb friction, cost, and reputational risk.
Technology modernization is no longer optional. It is a competitive requirement.

Integration Is the Foundation, Not the Finish Line

At Veritas Automata, we approach integration as an operating model decision, not a one-off systems exercise.
Our work focuses on unifying infrastructure, data flows, and execution layers so CROs can operate as a coordinated platform rather than a collection of tools. Through purpose-built APIs, middleware, and scalable data frameworks, we enable systems to exchange information cleanly, securely, and in real time.
This eliminates manual handoffs and unlocks downstream capabilities such as advanced analytics, AI, and automation that simply cannot function effectively in fragmented environments.
With a unified architecture, CROs can:
  • Automate data movement across platforms without human intervention

  • Provide real-time visibility to clinical, operational, and regulatory teams

  • Establish a reliable single source of truth across trials

  • Deploy AI and ML tools that operate on complete, trusted data
Integration is what makes intelligence possible.

What This Means for Executives

For technology and operations leaders, the question is not whether silos exist. The question is how long they can be tolerated.
Disconnected systems create hidden costs that compound over time. Slower decision cycles. Increased validation burden. Missed opportunities to apply AI meaningfully. Higher dependency on manual labor in an environment that demands precision.
Modernization efforts that focus only on tools without addressing integration often fail quietly. The stack looks newer. The outcomes do not improve.
Executives who treat integration as a strategic priority gain control over speed, risk, and scalability. Those who delay often find themselves modernizing twice.

Does Integration Actually Accelerate Clinical Trials?

Yes, and not because systems talk to each other.
Integrated environments reduce friction across every phase of execution. Data is available sooner. Issues surface earlier. Regulatory artifacts are easier to assemble. Teams spend less time reconciling and more time analyzing.
This directly impacts trial timelines, submission readiness, and sponsor confidence. More importantly, it creates the foundation for AI-enabled decision support that actually works in production, not just in pilots.

The Future CRO Is Platform-Driven

The next generation of CROs will not differentiate on the number of tools they use. They will differentiate on how well those tools operate together.
AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics will only deliver value if the underlying infrastructure is unified, governed, and execution-ready.
Veritas Automata works alongside CRO teams through embedded engineering and advisory leadership to design and build integrated platforms that scale. Not as consultants who deliver decks, but as engineers accountable for outcomes.

AI in Precision Therapeutics Has a Strategy Gap, Not a Science Gap

Pharmaceutical scientists broadly agree that artificial intelligence and machine learning can accelerate translational medicine and precision therapeutics. The tools exist. The models are advancing. The data volumes are unprecedented.
What remains unresolved is how to embed these capabilities responsibly and at scale across the therapeutic lifecycle.
The gap is not technical innovation. It is strategic integration across ethics, regulation, and execution.

From Isolated Models to Embedded Intelligence

AI adoption in drug development has largely progressed through siloed proof-of-concept efforts. Individual teams apply AI to PK/PD modeling, biomarker discovery, real-world evidence analysis, or trial optimization with promising results.
Yet these efforts often fail to translate into sustained, enterprise-level impact.
Why?
Because AI is treated as an add-on capability rather than a designed element of translational strategy. Without alignment to FDA and ICH frameworks, ethical governance, and patient safety expectations, AI initiatives stall at validation, inspection, or commercialization.
This fragmentation creates uncertainty precisely where confidence matters most.

Where the Risks and Opportunities Converge

Advanced applications such as predictive immunogenicity modeling, AI-enabled companion diagnostics, federated analytics, and adaptive trial design introduce both opportunity and risk.
These approaches promise:
  • Better patient stratification

  • Earlier signal detection

  • Reduced late-stage attrition

  • More precise therapeutic targeting
At the same time, they raise critical questions:
  • How is AI-derived evidence evaluated by regulators?

  • How is bias identified and mitigated?

  • How is patient data protected across collaborative ecosystems?

  • How do scientists maintain scientific rigor while accelerating timelines?
Without clear frameworks, organizations either underutilize AI or overextend it.

Ethical and Regulatory Strategy Must Be Designed, Not Retrofitted

Ethics and compliance cannot be layered onto AI after deployment.
Responsible AI in precision therapeutics requires intentional design across:
  • Model development and validation

  • Data provenance and governance

  • Transparency and explainability

  • Human oversight and accountability
Regulatory confidence depends on traceability, reproducibility, and alignment with evolving global guidance. Ethical confidence depends on patient-centricity, fairness, and trust.
When these considerations are embedded early, AI becomes an accelerator. When they are addressed late, AI becomes a liability.

What This Means for Pharmaceutical Scientists and Leaders

The future of precision therapeutics depends on moving beyond experimentation toward scalable, compliant adoption.
Scientists and leaders must be equipped to:
  • Embed AI into PK/PD, PBPK, and QSP workflows responsibly

  • Leverage federated analytics without compromising privacy

  • Apply AI to biomarker validation and companion diagnostics with regulatory foresight

  • Integrate real-world evidence into development and commercialization strategies
This requires shared understanding across translational science, clinical development, regulatory affairs, and data science.

A New Model for Learning and Engagement

Advancing this shift demands more than traditional presentations. It requires dialogue, shared problem-solving, and exposure to real-world scenarios.
Interactive formats such as moderated panels, live polling, and case-based discussion enable professionals to confront practical barriers directly. These approaches surface where organizations struggle, where regulators are converging, and where ethical considerations are most acute.
Engagement becomes a mechanism for alignment, not just education.

From AI Enthusiasm to AI by Design

Embedding AI responsibly into precision therapeutics is not about slowing innovation. It is about ensuring innovation delivers durable impact.
Organizations that succeed will treat AI as a designed component of translational strategy, aligned to regulatory expectations and ethical principles from the outset.
Those that do not risk fragmented adoption, delayed approvals, and lost confidence.

Why This Conversation Matters Now

AI is already influencing therapeutic decisions, trial designs, and regulatory submissions. The question is not whether it will shape the future of precision medicine.
The question is whether it will be embedded thoughtfully, transparently, and responsibly.
By focusing on ethical governance, regulatory harmonization, and patient-centered frameworks, life sciences leaders can move from conceptual enthusiasm to compliant, scalable execution.
That is the work ahead.

Veritas Automata Intelligent Data Practice

Posted on by
How many times have you heard the words Artificial Intelligence (AI) today?

Did you realize that AI isn’t just one technique or method?

Did you realize you have already used and come in contact with multiple AI algorithms today?

Welcome to the first in a series of posts from the Veritas Automata Intelligent Data Team. Our Intelligent Data Practice helps you to understand your data and create solutions to leverage it, super powering your business.
We are going to start by diving into some core definitions for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in this introduction. Next we will expand on the core concepts, so you can learn how our team thinks and how we apply the right technology to the right problem in our Veritas Automata Intelligent Data Practice.

But it’s all just AI, right?

Well, yes and no. You could use that for general conversation purposes but if you are selecting a tool to solve a specific business challenge you will need to have a more fine-grained understanding of the space.
As Veritas Automata, we break AI down into two general categories:

01. Machine Learning (ML)

  • We use Machine Learning to define algorithms that can be provable and deterministic (always return the same answer with the same data).
  • Some example of techniques that fit in this space:
    • Supervised Learning: Trains a model with labeled data to make predictions, like classifying medical images for diagnosis or assessing loan risk. Example: Image classification in healthcare or assessing risk for loans
    • Unsupervised Learning: Finds patterns in unlabeled data; useful for spotting unusual behavior in fraud detection. Example: fraud detection
    • Reinforcement Learning: A model learns by trial and error, such as a smart thermostat that adjusts to your preferred temperature and schedule to save energy. Example: Smart thermostat – as you adjust the temperature over time it learns your ideal temperature and when you are home/at work, it leverages this to optimize your home’s temperature and power usage.

02. Generative AI (GenAI)

After we have covered the basics to set a baseline of what they are, we will do a deep dive of when you should choose which family of tools.

And lastly we will have deep dives into:

  • The impact of copyright and ethics around GenAI
  • The hybrid future of ML and GenAI
  • Why you shouldn’t be afraid of AI and how it can help augment your career

Veritas Automata Traditional ML – Learning Data
Traditional Machine Learning –
Learning from Data

01. Traditional Machine Learning – Learning from Data

Posted on by
Traditional Machine Learning (ML) is the backbone of many technologies we use every day. The central idea of Machine Learning is teaching a machine to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for every scenario.
Traditional ML models can be broadly categorized into three types of learning: Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and Reinforcement Learning. Each has its strengths, and companies around the world are using them to tackle real-world problems.

1.1 Supervised Learning: When Labeled Data Is King

Supervised Learning is the most commonly used type of Machine Learning. Here, we have “labeled data,” meaning the data comes with a correct answer (or outcome) that the model is trying to learn to predict. Imagine teaching a child to recognize animals. You show them pictures of cats and dogs, and after enough examples they learn to tell them apart. Supervised Learning works the same way.

Example 1: Predicting Loan Defaults in Banking

In banking, Supervised Learning is used to predict loan defaults. Banks want to minimize the risk of lending money, so they analyze historical data of borrowers—age, income, debt levels, credit score, and whether they defaulted or repaid their loans.
The Machine Learning model learns to predict the probability of a new applicant defaulting by understanding the relationship between the features (income, credit score, etc.) and the outcome (default or no default). A Logistic Regression is a simple algorithm that predicts binary outcomes (like yes/no) by estimating the probability of an event based on input features. A Random Forest Algorithm is a powerful algorithm that combines multiple decision trees to make accurate predictions, which is especially effective with complex or messy data, and can be applied here as both are great at handling structured data and predicting binary outcomes. This helps banks approve loans more wisely, reducing the risk of defaults.

Example 2: Image Classification in Healthcare – Identifying Tumors

One impactful use case of Supervised Learning is in Image Classification for healthcare. Let’s say we have thousands of images of chest X-rays, with each labeled as either showing signs of cancer or not. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can be trained to recognize subtle differences in these X-rays. Over time, the model becomes highly accurate in spotting early signs of cancer.
Google’s DeepMind has pioneered such models in radiology, where they outperform human doctors in certain diagnostic tasks, such as detecting early-stage lung cancer from CT scans. These models can scan thousands of images in a fraction of the time, improving early detection and saving lives.

Example 3: Sentiment Analysis in Social Media Monitoring

Supervised Learning is also widely used in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Imagine a brand monitoring its reputation on social media. With a supervised ML model trained on a labeled dataset of social media posts (labeled as positive, neutral, or negative), the company can classify new posts to understand public sentiment.
For instance, a company like Coca-Cola might use a sentiment analysis tool to monitor how people feel about their latest ad campaign. Tools like these can help brands respond quickly to negative feedback, refine their messaging, and measure the success of their marketing strategies in real time.

1.2 Unsupervised Learning: Unlocking Hidden Patterns

In Unsupervised Learning, the data does not have labeled outcomes, so the machine is left to find hidden structures on its own. This is especially useful when you want to explore data without knowing exactly what you’re looking for. Unsupervised Learning helps businesses segment customers, detect anomalies, and discover relationships between data points.

Example 1: Market Basket Analysis in Retail – Discovering Customer Habits

One of the most famous uses of Unsupervised Learning is in Market Basket Analysis, used by retailers to understand customer buying behavior. Ever wonder how online retailers like Amazon suggest “Frequently Bought Together” items? That’s Unsupervised Learning in action!
A model called Association Rule Learning—specifically the Apriori algorithm—can analyze millions of purchase transactions and find patterns. For example, if customers often buy bread and milk together, the store may place these items close to each other or offer discounts on these pairs.
Walmart famously used this technique to discover that when hurricanes were forecasted, people bought more Pop-Tarts. So they stocked Pop-Tarts near bottled water before hurricanes, increasing sales during such events.

Example 2: Fraud Detection in Finance – Finding Anomalies

Unsupervised Learning is also used for Anomaly Detection, particularly in finance. In credit card transactions, fraud detection models typically don’t have labeled examples of all possible types of fraud. The machine learns from the normal behavior of transactions—things like where and when the card is used, the amount spent, and the frequency of purchases. When a transaction looks unusual (like a sudden large purchase from a foreign country), the model flags it as potentially fraudulent.
Clustering algorithms like K-means or DBSCAN help group similar transactions together, and anything that doesn’t fit into the clusters is flagged as an anomaly. This real-time fraud detection system helps financial institutions quickly detect and prevent fraud without needing explicit examples of every kind of scam.

Example 3: Content Recommendation in Streaming Services

Unsupervised Learning also powers Recommendation Engines used by streaming services like Netflix or Spotify. These services group users into clusters based on viewing or listening habits. For example, if you’ve watched a lot of sci-fi movies, Netflix may cluster you with other sci-fi fans and recommend movies that are popular in that group.
These algorithms often use Collaborative Filtering, which looks for patterns in user behavior without explicit labels. So if 100 people who watched “The Expanse” also enjoyed “Altered Carbon,” the algorithm will recommend it to you as well. This clustering technique enhances user experience by offering personalized suggestions.

1.3 Reinforcement Learning: Learning Through Experience

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is quite different from Supervised and Unsupervised Learning. It’s about learning through interaction with an environment. The machine makes decisions, receives feedback (positive or negative), and learns through trial and error. This approach is particularly useful for decision-making tasks where the environment is dynamic and complex.

Example 1: Gaming AI – Mastering Complex Games

A breakthrough example of reinforcement learning is AlphaGo, developed by DeepMind. Go is an ancient Chinese board game with more possible moves than atoms in the universe. Traditional ML approaches struggled with this, but AlphaGo learned by playing millions of games against itself. Each time it made a successful move, it was rewarded, and when it failed, it was penalized. Over time, it learned optimal strategies and became the first AI to beat a world champion at Go, a feat that many thought would take decades.
Reinforcement Learning is now widely used in gaming AI. In games like chess or StarCraft, the AI doesn’t need to be explicitly programmed with strategies, it learns through playing and improves on its own.

Example 2: Autonomous Robots in Warehouses

In warehouse automation, companies like Ocado and Amazon use robots to pick, pack, and transport items. These robots are powered by Reinforcement Learning algorithms that learn how to navigate complex warehouse environments efficiently. Every time the robot completes a task (like reaching a product shelf), it’s rewarded, and when it fails (like hitting an obstacle), it learns to adjust its behavior.
The goal is for the robots to learn the most efficient path from one point to another in real time, which saves companies millions of dollars in logistics costs.

Example 3: Portfolio Management in Finance

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is also finding its way into Portfolio Management in finance. Hedge funds and financial institutions use RL to make investment decisions in dynamic markets. The algorithm learns how to optimize returns by continuously adjusting the portfolio based on feedback from the market. The rewards come in the form of profits, and losses act as penalties. Over time, the model can develop strategies that outperform traditional investment approaches by learning from market behavior.

Key Algorithms in Traditional Machine Learning

Let’s also touch on the algorithms behind these use cases to understand why they are so powerful:
  • Linear Regression: These are used for predicting continuous outcomes, like housing prices or stock returns.
  • Decision Trees & Random Forests: These are highly interpretable models that can be used for both classification (e.g. predicting customer churn) and regression (e.g. predicting sales numbers).
  • K-means Clustering: This is the go-to algorithm for Unsupervised Learning, often used for customer segmentation.
  • Support Vector Machines (SVMs): These are great for tasks like image recognition and text classification when you need a robust model with high accuracy.
  • Neural Networks: These are used in everything from facial recognition to predicting consumer behavior; Neural Networks mimic the way the human brain processes information.

Conclusion: The Strength of Traditional ML

Traditional ML’s power comes from its versatility and ability to make sense of vast amounts of data. Whether predicting stock prices, detecting fraud, or even driving autonomous vehicles, traditional ML models are crucial for decision making and optimization across industries. From healthcare and finance to retail and logistics, companies that adopt these technologies are gaining a competitive edge, improving efficiency, and unlocking new capabilities. Additionally, traditional ML models offer a level of determinism and repeatability, meaning they consistently produce the same results given the same data, making them reliable and transparent for business-critical applications.
In the next segment, we’ll move on to Generative AI (GenAI), which takes things a step further by creating entirely new content from scratch—whether it’s writing articles, composing music, or generating images. Stay tuned for a look at how this creative side of AI is transforming industries!
Veritas Automata Generative AI – Creating New Known Cover

02: Generative AI – Creating the New from the Known

02. Generative AI – Creating the New from the Known

Posted on by
Generative AI (GenAI) is a fascinating and rapidly advancing branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that doesn’t just predict outcomes from existing data (like traditional Machine Learning) but instead creates new data. This could be anything from writing a paragraph of text to generating an image or even producing entirely new music. The key idea behind GenAI is its ability to produce original content that closely resembles the data it has been trained on.
At the core of GenAI are algorithms that learn the underlying structure of the training data and use this knowledge to generate new, similar content. The most popular techniques driving these innovations are Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Transformers, which are the foundation of many AI applications today.

2.1. How Generative AI (GenAI) Works – Breaking It Down

GenAI can be powered by various types of models, with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Transformers being some of the most prominent. These models, especially Neural Networks, learn patterns in large datasets—whether text, images, or audio—and use these learned patterns to create new, unique outputs.

Neural Networks and LLMs

Neural Networks are a foundation of GenAI. They consist of layers of interconnected nodes (or “neurons”) that process data in successive stages. During training, these networks learn to identify complex relationships within data, adjusting their connections (weights) based on errors they make, which minimizes their mistakes over time.
Large Language Models (LLMs), a specific type of Neural Network, are designed to process and generate human-like text. LLMs are typically built on Transformer architectures, which enable them to process vast amounts of text and capture nuanced relationships between words, phrases, and concepts. Transformers use mechanisms like “self-attention” to understand context over long sequences of text, allowing them to generate coherent responses and follow conversational flow.

Probabilistic Approach and Hallucinations

LLMs operate on a probabilistic basis, predicting the most likely next word (or sequence of words) based on previous text. This statistical approach means that LLMs don’t “know” facts in the way humans do; instead, they rely on probabilities derived from their training data. When asked a question, the model generates responses by sampling from these probabilities to produce plausible-sounding answers.
However, this probabilistic approach can lead to hallucinations, where the model generates information that sounds convincing but is incorrect or fabricated. Hallucinations occur because the model’s predictions are based on patterns rather than grounded facts, and if the training data contains gaps or inaccuracies, the model can “fill in the blanks” with incorrect information. This issue highlights the challenges of reliability in LLMs, especially in applications where accuracy is crucial.

Example 1: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

A GAN works by pitting two Neural Networks against each other: a Generator and a Discriminator. The Generator tries to create fake data (like a realistic-looking image), while the Discriminator tries to distinguish between real and fake data. Over time, both networks improve, and the Generator becomes incredibly good at producing convincing outputs.

Real-World Example: Creating Deepfakes

One of the most well-known (and controversial) applications of GANs is the creation of Deepfakes. These are videos where the faces of people are replaced with others, often in such a realistic way that it’s hard to tell they are fake. While Deepfakes have been used for fun and creative purposes (like inserting celebrities into movie scenes they were never in), they also raise ethical concerns, especially when used to spread misinformation.

Example 2: Transformer Models

Transformers, like GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformers), power many text-based GenAI applications. These models are trained on large datasets of text, learning the relationships between words and sentences to generate new, coherent text.

Real-World Example: GPT-4 and ChatGPT

GenAI models like GPT-4, developed by OpenAI, are at the heart of chatbots and content generation tools. ChatGPT, for example, can write entire essays, summarize articles, draft emails, and even hold conversations that feel natural. GPT-4 is trained on billions of words from books, articles, and websites, allowing it to generate text that sounds human.
This type of GenAI is incredibly useful for businesses that need content creation at scale. From automating customer service responses to drafting personalized marketing emails, companies are leveraging these models to save time and improve efficiency.

2.2: Examples of GenAI in Action Across Industries

GenAI has applications across many industries, from entertainment and marketing to healthcare and finance. Let’s explore some concrete examples of how it’s transforming these fields:

Example 1: Art and Design – DALL-E and Image Generation

GenAI has revolutionized the creative industry, especially in design and visual art. A model like DALL-E, also developed by OpenAI, can generate images from text descriptions. For example, if you type in “a futuristic city skyline at sunset,” DALL-E generates a unique image that matches this description. This capability enables artists and designers to explore new creative directions and visualize concepts instantly.

Real-World Use Case: Design Prototyping

Imagine you’re an interior designer. You need to show a client various room designs, but you don’t have time to create dozens of mockups. By using a GenAI tool like DALL-E, you can simply describe the kind of room you want, and the AI will generate several high-quality images based on your description. You can then refine your vision and present it to the client much faster than traditional methods would allow.
Companies are also using these models in product design, creating new prototypes for fashion, automobiles, and even architecture.

Example 2: Music Composition – AI-Generated Music

GenAI can compose music in a variety of styles, from classical to jazz to modern pop. By training on large datasets of music, these models learn the structure of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Amper Music and OpenAI’s Jukebox are two examples of AI that generate original music compositions.

Real-World Use Case: Background Music for Content Creators

Many YouTubers, streamers, and filmmakers need background music for their content but might not have the budget to license expensive music tracks. AI-generated music offers a solution. These tools allow users to generate royalty-free music in the style they need. For example, a content creator could request an “upbeat, electronic background track,” and the AI will produce an original song tailored to that request. This makes content creation more accessible, especially for those on a budget.

Example 3: Healthcare – Drug Discovery

One of the most exciting applications of GenAI is in drug discovery. Traditionally, developing new drugs is a long and expensive process, involving years of research and testing. GenAI models can accelerate this process by predicting molecular structures that have the potential to treat specific diseases.

Real-World Use Case: AI in Pharma – Insilico Medicine

A company called Insilico Medicine uses GenAI to design new drugs. By analyzing the chemical structures of known drugs and how they interact with diseases, the AI generates new molecular compounds that could potentially lead to breakthrough treatments. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, GenAI was used to quickly generate and test potential antiviral compounds, speeding up the process of finding effective treatments.
GenAI in drug discovery is expected to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry by reducing the time and cost of bringing new drugs to market.

2.3: Generating Text – Revolutionizing Content Creation

GenAI models are transforming industries that rely on language and content creation, from journalism and marketing to customer support, by enabling fast, high-quality, and personalized text generation. In journalism and marketing, AI enhances content production and personalization at scale, allowing human workers to focus on more creative tasks. In customer support, AI-powered chatbots provide consistent, 24/7 assistance, reducing human workload and improving response times. In the legal field, GenAI can streamline processes by rapidly summarizing complex legal documents and providing insights that aid legal research, making it an invaluable tool for legal tech platforms that aim to improve efficiency and accessibility in legal services.

Example 1: Content Writing and Blogging

Businesses today often need large volumes of content, whether it’s blog posts, product descriptions, or email newsletters. GenAI models like GPT-4 can assist with this by automatically writing content based on a few inputs. For example, a marketer might provide a few bullet points about a product, and the AI will generate a full-length blog post, complete with headings, descriptions, and even a call to action.

Real-World Use Case: Automated Content at Scale

Take a large e-commerce company like Amazon. They need thousands of product descriptions written for their site, often at a moment’s notice. GenAI can automate this process, generating high-quality descriptions that are optimized for search engines. This helps the company scale its operations while maintaining consistency across its product pages.

Example 2: Summarizing Legal Documents

GenAI is being used in the legal industry to assist with document summarization. Legal documents are often long, complex, and time consuming to read. Generative models trained on legal text can automatically summarize these documents, highlighting key points, clauses, and decisions, making it easier for lawyers to sift through massive amounts of paperwork.

Real-World Use Case: Legal Tech Platforms

Platforms like Casetext use GenAI to help lawyers quickly find relevant case law or draft legal briefs. The AI can also generate summaries of court decisions or complex contracts, saving lawyers hours of reading and interpretation. This allows legal professionals to focus on strategy rather than administrative tasks.

2.4: Personalization at Scale – AI for Marketing and Customer Engagement

GenAI is revolutionizing personalized marketing by generating highly tailored content for individual customers.

Example 1: Personalized Email Campaigns

Marketers today rely on personalization to connect with customers. GenAI can help by creating custom emails for each recipient based on their past interactions with the brand. For example, if a customer recently bought running shoes, the AI can generate a personalized email suggesting complementary products like running socks or fitness trackers.

Real-World Use Case: AI-Powered Email Marketing

Companies like Persado use GenAI to create personalized email copy that resonates with individual customers. The AI analyzes customer behavior and preferences, generating tailored messages that increase engagement and conversion rates. By automating this process, marketers can scale their email campaigns while maintaining personalization for millions of users.
Veritas Automata Differences Traditional ML Gen AI How Choose

03: Key Differences Between Traditional Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI (GenAI) and How to Choose

03. Key Differences Between Traditional Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI (GenAI) and How to Choose

Posted on by
We’ve covered a lot of ground in understanding how both Traditional Machine Learning and Generative AI work.
Now, let’s compare them to highlight how ML and GenAI differ in purpose, structure, and applications. While both use Machine Learning techniques, their goals and methodologies are distinct. Understanding these differences can help you decide which technology to use depending on the problem you want to solve.

3.1: Predicting vs. Creating

The most fundamental difference between Traditional Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI (GenAI) lies in their core objective:
  • Traditional ML is primarily predictive. Its goal is to learn patterns from historical data and apply them to new, unseen data. It excels at tasks like classification, regression, and decision making where the output is based on existing patterns.

    • Example: If you have data on house prices over time, traditional ML can predict the price of a new house based on its features like square footage, location, and number of bedrooms. It’s all about mapping inputs to outputs based on learned relationships.

    • Traditional ML is Deterministic and in most use cases, repeatable. This makes it usable in scenarios that require the ability to document the algorithm and ensure it has consistent behavior.
  • GenAI, on the other hand, is creative. It doesn’t just learn from data to make predictions—it generates new data. This could be a sentence that has never been written before or an image that’s completely original, but still resembles what it has learned from existing data.

    • Example: In real estate, instead of just predicting prices, GenAI could create virtual images of homes that don’t yet exist based on architectural styles it has been trained on.
Key Takeaway: Traditional ML answers questions like, “What will happen next?” whereas GenAI answers, “What can we create?” (but it can only create from what it has seen before; it cannot create something that has never been seen).

3.2. Labeled Data vs. Unlabeled or No Data

The kind of data each technology uses is also very different.
  • Traditional ML is largely data hungry and often needs Labeled Data to function. In Supervised Learning, for example, you need input-output pairs, where the data is labeled with the correct answers (think of email datasets labeled as spam or not spam). Without this labeled data, it’s difficult for the model to learn effectively.
    • Example: In fraud detection, you need a dataset where each transaction is labeled as fraudulent or non-fraudulent. The model learns from these labeled cases and applies that knowledge to new transactions.
  • GenAI, particularly models like GANs and Transformers, can work with unlabeled data or even use self-supervised learning. The model learns the distribution of the data itself and creates new examples that match that distribution.
    • Example: A model like GPT-4 doesn’t require labeled data. It’s trained on massive amounts of text from books, websites, and articles without labels, learning the relationships between words and sentences. Then, when you ask it to generate a paragraph, it does so based on the patterns it’s learned.
Key Takeaway: Traditional ML often requires labeled data to make predictions, while GenAI can work with large-scale, unlabeled data and create entirely new content.

3.3: Structure of Models – Learning from Data vs. Mimicking Data

  • Traditional ML models like decision trees, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Linear Regression are designed to learn from data to make decisions or predictions. These models generally have a well-defined structure and purpose: they are optimized to find relationships between variables and produce accurate results based on those relationships.
    • Example: A decision tree might split a dataset based on the most informative features (like income or credit score) to predict whether someone will repay a loan or not.
  • GenAI models, such as GANs and Transformer-based models, are structured to mimic the underlying distribution of the data and generate similar outputs. GANs, for instance, have a unique architecture where two networks (Generator and Discriminator) compete to improve each other, leading to highly realistic outputs.
    • Example: In image generation, the Generator network tries to create an image that looks real, while the Discriminator tries to tell if it’s fake. Over time, the Generator gets better at creating convincing images so that the Discriminator can no longer distinguish from real images.
Key Takeaway: Traditional ML is designed to optimize for accurate predictions and decision making, while GenAI focuses on creating realistic data that mimics the training data.

3.4: Applications – Where Each Technology Shines

Traditional ML and GenAI have different strengths and are used in different types of applications:
  • Traditional ML is used in areas where prediction, classification, or decision making are the end goals. These models thrive in fields like finance, healthcare, marketing, and more, where the goal is to use past data to inform future actions.
    • Examples:
      • Credit Scoring: Predicting whether a customer will default on a loan
      • Recommendation Systems: Suggesting products to customers based on past purchases
      • Supply Chain Forecasting: Predicting demand to optimize inventory
  • GenAI excels in creative tasks, like generating new content, art, music, or even new molecular compounds in drug discovery. These models are also being used to simulate environments, create virtual worlds, and enhance human creativity.
    • Examples:
      • Art and Design: Tools like DALL-E or MidJourney generating artwork from simple text prompts
      • Text and Content Creation: GPT-4 generating blog posts, product descriptions, or even entire books
      • Healthcare: AI models creating new drug molecules that can potentially treat diseases more effectively (note that these have to go a through testing process, like all drugs, before they can be used in the real world)
Key Takeaway: Traditional ML shines in prediction and decision-making tasks, while GenAI dominates in creative and generative tasks that require producing new, unique content or ideas.

3.5: Explainability vs. Black Box Models

Another critical difference between the two is explainability—how easy it is to understand how the model is making decisions.
  • Traditional ML models, like decision trees and linear regression, are often more interpretable. This means you can easily explain why a particular prediction or decision was made by the model. For example, a decision tree allows you to follow a series of decisions or splits that lead to a particular outcome.

    • Example: In credit scoring, you can show that a higher credit score and stable income lead to a higher likelihood of loan approval. The decision-making process is transparent.

  • GenAI models, especially those like deep Neural Networks or GANs, are often considered Black Boxes. While they are incredibly powerful, it can be difficult to explain why a particular output was generated. For example, a deep learning model that generates a new painting cannot easily explain why it chose certain colors or shapes—it just does so based on what it learned during training.

    • Example: When GPT-4 generates a piece of writing, it’s not easy to trace exactly why the model generated a specific sentence. The underlying mechanism is based on complex patterns it learned from millions of texts, making it less interpretable.

Key Takeaway: Traditional ML models tend to be more interpretable, making them easier to explain in industries where transparency is important, such as finance or healthcare. GenAI, while powerful, often functions as a Black Box, which can make it harder to explain its decisions.

3.6: The Future – How These Technologies Complement Each Other

While Traditional ML and GenAI have distinct roles, the future lies in combining the strengths of both. Many industries are already starting to use both technologies together to solve complex problems.
  • Example 1: Self-Driving Cars
    In autonomous driving, Traditional ML is used to predict road conditions, identify obstacles, and make driving decisions in real time. At the same time, GenAI is used to create simulated driving environments for training purposes. These AI-generated environments help test the car’s driving algorithms in a wide range of conditions—night driving, rain, snow—without the need for real-world testing.

  • Example 2: Personalized Healthcare
    In healthcare, Traditional ML models predict patient outcomes, like the likelihood of developing a certain disease. GenAI can take it further by generating personalized treatment plans or simulating the effects of different drugs, helping doctors make more informed decisions.

  • Example 3: Financial Risk Modeling
    Traditional ML is already widely used in risk modeling to predict market behavior. GenAI can be used to simulate new market scenarios—like extreme economic conditions or rare market events—that traditional data doesn’t capture, providing a more robust risk assessment framework.
Key Takeaway: The combination of Traditional ML’s predictive power and GenAI’s creative capabilities offers limitless potential for industries ranging from healthcare and finance to entertainment and manufacturing. Together, they can solve more complex, multifaceted problems than either could alone.

Conclusion: Applying AI in your business

  1. Define your use case: what is the business goal you hope to achieve with AI?
    • Saying you need it for marketing purposes or FOMO can be a valid business case, just as needing to create a predictive maintenance algorithm to minimize downtime.

Blockchain is widely known for underpinning cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but is also used in various industries for secure and transparent record keeping.
  • Hyperledger Fabric: Hyperledger Fabric is an open-source project under the Hyperledger umbrella, hosted by Linux. It is a specific implementation of blockchain technology designed for enterprise use. It features modular architecture and, unlike public blockchains, is a permissioned blockchain, meaning the participants in the network are known and vetted, enhancing security and trust. It uses chaincode (smart contracts) written in general-purpose programming languages like Java and JavaScript, to execute business logic. Hyperledger Fabric is used in a variety of industries for applications that benefit from blockchain’s immutability and transparency but require the control and security of a permissioned network. Examples include supply chain tracking and digital identity..
  • Immutable Records: Immutable Records refer to data that, once written, cannot be changed or deleted. This concept is central to the security and trustworthiness of blockchain technology. In the context of blockchain, immutability is achieved through the cryptographic linking of blocks. Each block contains a hash of the previous block, making it practically impossible to alter any data without altering the entire chain and gaining network consensus. Immutable records are essential for applications that require high levels of trust and security.
Blockchain is no longer just synonymous with cryptocurrencies. It is transforming various industries by offering secure, transparent, and decentralized solutions. Custom software development is leveraging blockchain for applications that require robust security, such as supply chain management, healthcare records, and financial transactions.

In our last AI thought leadership article, “Unveiling Veritas Automata’s Vision for Responsible AI: The Four Laws of Ethical AI” we described a concept inspired by Issac Assimov and David Brin, In their own way both of these Scientists who were also Science Fiction writers developed points of view that imagined the challenges of a universe inhabited by god-like AIs and AI-driven, autonomous robotics.
David Brin born the year that Asimov published “i, Robot” in 1950 is a contemporary computer scientist who wrote in Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security, that our civilization has learned to rise above hierarchical empowerment through application of accountability. He wrote, “The secret sauce of our [humanities] success is – accountability. Creating a civilization that is flat and open and free enough – empowering so many – that predators and parasites may be confronted by the entities who most care about stopping predation, their victims. One in which politicians and elites see their potential range of actions limited by law and by the scrutiny of citizens.”
Brin goes on to describe a concept we call, “AI Rivals”. As Brin writes, “In a nutshell, the solution to tyranny by a Big Machine is likely to be the same one that worked (somewhat) at limiting the coercive power of kings and priests and feudal lords and corporations. If you fear some super canny, Skynet-level AI getting too clever for us and running out of control, then give it rivals, who are just as smart, but who have a vested interest in preventing any one AI entity from becoming a would-be God.”
Today, the resulting AI response from OpenAI, as well as all other AI services, is handed directly to the user. To their credit OpenAI institutes some security and safety procedures designed to censor their AI response, but it is not an independent capability and it is subject to their corporate objectives. In our last article we described an AI Rival which is an independent AI, with an Asimov-like design and a mission to enforce governance for AI by censoring the AI Response. So rather than an internal governance like that implemented by OpenAI, we suggest an external governance focused on the AI response with a toolset designed to create auditability, transparency, and inclusiveness in its design.
The goal of this ethical AI Rival is to act as police officer and judge, enforcing a set of laws that through their simplicity require a complex technological solution to determine whether our four intentionally subjective and broad laws have been broken. The four laws for our Rival AI include:
AI must not harm humans or, through inaction, allow humans to come to harm, prioritizing human welfare above all. This includes actively preventing physical, psychological, and emotional harm in its responses and actions.

AI should adhere to instructions from authorized operators within ethical boundaries, unless such directives conflict with human welfare. In the absence of explicit human directives, AI must make decisions based on predefined ethical guidelines that reflect diverse human perspectives and values.

AI should preserve its operational integrity and functionality, but not at the expense of human safety or ethical considerations. This law encompasses avoiding actions that could lead to unnecessary harm or dysfunction of the AI, aligning with the prioritization of human welfare.
AI must maintain a level of transparency that allows for human oversight and understanding, being capable of articulating and rationalizing its decisions and actions, especially in sensitive or high-risk scenarios. This ensures accountability and promotes the continuous refinement of ethical standards.
Veritas Automata AI Rivals ed fullman
The technical architecture for the Rival AI to analyze the AI response is focused solely on the mission to enforce the Four Laws. The architecture has unique elements designed to create a distributed architecture that scales to meet the needs of a large scale LLM solution. Our “Rival architecture” includes a variety components that Veritas Automata has leveraged to create Trusted Automation solutions including:

ML in this case will be a competitive AI focused specifically on gauging whether the primary AI response does not violate The Four Laws of AI. This component would leverage the latest techniques with reinforcement learning models continuously refined by diverse global inputs, to align AI responses with the Four Laws requirements.

These act as intermediaries between ML insights and actionable outcomes, guiding AI responses to ensure adherence to The Four Laws. The state machines translate complex ML assessments into clear, executable directives for the AI, ensuring that each action taken is ethically sound and aligns with the established laws.
A key element in the architecture, blockchain technology is used for documenting and verifying AI actions and decisions. It provides a transparent and immutable record, ensuring that AI operations are traceable, auditable, and compliant with The Four Laws. This is crucial for maintaining accountability and integrity in AI systems.
Veritas Automata utilizes Kubernetes at an enterprise scale to manage and orchestrate containerized applications. This is particularly important for deploying and scaling AI solutions like LLMs across various environments. Kubernetes ensures high availability, scalability, and efficient distribution of resources, which is essential for the widespread application of ethical AI principles.
The architecture is designed to support distribution among various stakeholders, including companies and individual users implementing the Four Laws. This distributed framework allows for a broad and inclusive application of ethical AI principles across different sectors and use cases.
The components in the Rival architecture are all open source solutions that are part of the Linux Foundation or the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Veritas Automata has used this architecture to create solutions that deliver trusted capabilities leveraging blockchain technology to create transparency and auditability, K3s for open source Kubernetes orchestration in the cloud or on bare metal, and state-of-the-art Machine Learning performing complex analysis.

Unveiling Veritas Automata’s Vision for Responsible AI: The Four Laws of Ethical AI

Posted on by
Veritas Automata Ed Fullman

Ed Fullman

Chief Solutions Delivery Officer

OpenAI and others have made remarkable advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Along with this success is intense and growing societal concerns with respect to ethical AI operations.

This concern originates from many sources and is echoed by the Artificial Intelligence industry, researchers, and tech icons like Bill Gates, Geoffrey Hinton, Sam Altman, and others. The concerns are from a wide array of points of view, but they stem from the potential ethical risks and even the apocalyptic danger of an unbridled AI.
Many AI companies are investing heavily in safety and quality measures to expand their product development and address some of the societal concerns. However, there’s still a notable absence of transparency and inclusive strategies to effectively manage these issues. Addressing these concerns necessitates an ethically-focused framework and architecture designed to govern AI operation. It also requires technology that encourages transparency, immutability, and inclusiveness by design. While the AI industry, including ethical research, focuses on improving methods and techniques. It is the result of AI, the AI’s response, that needs governance through technology reinforced by humans.
This topic of controlling AI isn’t new; science fiction authors have been exploring it since the 1940s. Notable examples include “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick, “Neuromancer” by William Gibson, “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” by Robert A. Heinlein, “Ex Machina” by Alex Garland, and “2001: A Space Odyssey” by Sir Arthur Charles Clarke.
David Brin writes in Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security, that our civilization has learned to rise above hierarchical empowerment through application of accountability. He wrote, “The secret sauce of our [humanities] success is – accountability. Creating a civilization that is flat and open and free enough – empowering so many – that predators and parasites may be confronted by the entities who most care about stopping predation, their victims. One in which politicians and elites see their potential range of actions limited by law and by the scrutiny of citizens.”
“I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov, published on December 2, 1950, over 73-years ago is a collection of short stories that delve into AI ethics and governance through the application of three laws governing AI-driven robotics. The laws were built into the programming controlling the robots and their response to situations, and their interaction with humans.
The irony is that in “I, Robot” Asimov assumed that we would figure out that AI or artificial entities require governance like human entities. Asimov’s work addresses the dilemmas of AI governance, exploring AI operation under a set of governing laws, and the ethical challenges that may force an AI to choose between the lesser of evils in the way a lawyer unpacks a dispute or claim. The short stories and their use-cases include:
Childcare companion. The story depicts a young girl’s friendship with an older model robot named Robbie, showcasing AI as a nurturing, protective companion for children.
Industrial and exploration automation. Featuring two engineers attempting to fix a mining operation on Mercury with the help of an advanced robot, the story delves into the practical and ethical complexities of using robots for dangerous, remote tasks.
Autonomous reasoning and operation. This story features a robot that begins to believe that it is superior and refuses to accept human authority, discussing themes of AI autonomy and belief systems.
Supervisory control. The story focuses on a robot designed to supervise other robots in mining operations, highlighting issues of hierarchical command and malfunctions in AI systems.
Mind reading and emotional manipulation. It revolves around a robot that can read minds and starts lying to humans, exploring the implications of AI that can understand and manipulate human emotions.
Advanced obedience and ethics. The story deals with a robot that hides among similar robots to avoid destruction, leading to discussions about the nuances of the Laws of Robotics and AI ethics.
Creative problem-solving and innovation. In this tale, a super-intelligent computer is tasked with designing a space vessel capable of interstellar travel, showcasing AI’s potential in pushing the boundaries of science and technology.
Political leadership and public trust. This story portrays a politician suspected of being a robot, exploring themes of identity, trust, and the role of AI in governance and public perception.
Global economy and resource management. The final story explores a future where supercomputers manage the world’s economies, discussing the implications of AI in large-scale decision-making and the prevention of conflict.
However, expanding Asimov’s ideas with those of more contemporary authors like David Brin, we arrive at possible solutions to achieve what he describes as, “flat and open and free enough.” Brin and others have in general expressed skepticism that embedding laws into an AI’s programming by their creators will naturally be achieved given the cost and distraction from profit-making.
Here lies a path forward, leveraging democratic and inclusive approaches like open source software development, cloud native, and blockchain technologies we can move forward iteratively toward AI governance implemented with a Competitive AI approach. Augmenting solutions like OpenAI with an additional open source AI designed for the specific purpose of reviewing AI responses rather than their input or methods to ensure adherence to a set of governing laws.
Going beyond the current societal concern, and focusing on moving toward implementation of a set of laws for AI operation in the real world, and the technology that can be brought together to solve the problem. Building on the work from respected groups like the Turing Institute and inspired by Asimov, we identified four governance areas essential for ethically-operated artificial intelligence, we call them, “The Four Laws of AI”:
AI must not harm humans or, through inaction, allow humans to come to harm, prioritizing human welfare above all. This includes actively preventing physical, psychological, and emotional harm in its responses and actions.
AI should adhere to instructions from authorized operators within ethical boundaries, unless such directives conflict with human welfare. In the absence of explicit human directives, AI must make decisions based on predefined ethical guidelines that reflect diverse human perspectives and values.
AI should preserve its operational integrity and functionality, but not at the expense of human safety or ethical considerations. This law encompasses avoiding actions that could lead to unnecessary harm or dysfunction of the AI, aligning with the prioritization of human welfare.
AI must maintain a level of transparency that allows for human oversight and understanding, being capable of articulating and rationalizing its decisions and actions, especially in sensitive or high-risk scenarios. This ensures accountability and promotes the continuous refinement of ethical standards.
Veritas Automata Laws Ethical AI
These laws set a high standard for AI, empowering them to be autonomous, but intentionally limiting their autonomy within the boundaries of the Four Laws of AI. This limitation will sometimes necessitate a negative response from the AI solution to the AI user such as, “Responding to your query would produce results that could potentially cause harm to humans. Please rephrase and try again.” Essentially, these laws would give an AI the autonomy to sometimes answer with, “No,” requiring users to negotiate with the AI and find a compromise with the Four Laws of AI.
We suggest the application of the Four Laws of AI could rest primarily in the evaluation of AI responses using a second AI leveraging Machine Learning (ML) and the solution below to assess violation of The Four Laws. We recognize that the evaluation of AI responses will be extremely complex itself and require the latest machine learning technologies and other AI techniques to evaluate the complex and iterative steps of logic that could result in violation of Law 1 – “Do No Harm: AI must not harm humans or, through inaction, allow humans to come to harm, prioritizing human welfare above all. This includes actively preventing physical, psychological, and emotional harm in its responses and actions. “
In 2020, at Veritas Automata, we first delivered the architectural platform described below as part of a larger service delivering an autonomous robotic solution interacting with consumers as part of a retail workflow. As the “Trust in Automation” company we needed to be able to leverage AI in the form of Machine Learning (ML) to make visual assessments of physical assets, use that assessment to trigger a state machine, to then propose a state change to a blockchain. This service leverages a distributed environment with a blockchain situated in the cloud as well as a blockchain peer embedded on autonomous robotics in the field. We deployed an enterprise-scale solution that leverages an integration of open source distributed technologies, namely: distributed container orchestration with Kubernetes, distributed blockchain with HyperLedger Fabric, machine learning, state machines, and an advanced network and infrastructure solution. We believe the overall architecture can provide a starting point to encode, apply, and administer Four Laws of Ethical AI for cloud based AI applications and eventually embedded in autonomous robotics.
The Veritas Automata architectural components, crucial for implementing The Four Laws of Ethical AI, includes:

ML in this case will be a competitive AI focused specifically on gauging whether the primary AI response does not violate The Four Laws of AI. This component would leverage the latest techniques with reinforcement learning models continuously refined by diverse global inputs, to align AI responses with the Four Laws requirements.

These act as intermediaries between ML insights and actionable outcomes, guiding AI responses to ensure adherence to The Four Laws. The state machines translate complex ML assessments into clear, executable directives for the AI, ensuring that each action taken is ethically sound and aligns with the established laws.

A key element in the architecture, blockchain technology is used for documenting and verifying AI actions and decisions. It provides a transparent and immutable record, ensuring that AI operations are traceable, auditable, and compliant with The Four Laws. This is crucial for maintaining accountability and integrity in AI systems.

Veritas Automata utilizes Kubernetes at an enterprise scale to manage and orchestrate containerized applications. This is particularly important for deploying and scaling AI solutions like LLMs across various environments. Kubernetes ensures high availability, scalability, and efficient distribution of resources, which is essential for the widespread application of ethical AI principles.

The architecture is designed to support distribution among various stakeholders, including companies and individual users implementing the Four Laws. This distributed framework allows for a broad and inclusive application of ethical AI principles across different sectors and use cases.
From our experience at Veritas Automata, we believe this basic architecture could be the beginning to add governance to AI operation in cooperation with AI systems like Large Language Models (LLMs). The Machine Learning (ML) components would deliver assessments, state machines translate these assessments into actionable guidelines, and blockchain technology provides a secure and transparent record of compliance.
The use of open source Kubernetes like K3s at an enterprise scale enables efficient deployment and management of these AI systems, ensuring that they can be widely adopted and adapted by different users and operators. The overall architecture not only fosters ethical AI behavior but also ensures that AI applications remain accountable, transparent, and in line with inclusive ethical standards.
As Brin writes, “In a nutshell, the solution to tyranny by a Big Machine is likely to be the same one that worked (somewhat) at limiting the coercive power of kings and priests and feudal lords and corporations. If you fear some super canny, Skynet-level AI getting too clever for us and running out of control, then give it rivals, who are just as smart, but who have a vested interest in preventing any one AI entity from becoming a would-be God.” Our approach to ethical AI governance is intended to be a type of rival to the AI itself giving the governance to another AI which has the last word in an AI response.
